=== Design Ideas ===
There are several things to consider when developing the achievements handling.
==== Database and Class Model ====
* database table(s) to display achievements on website
* database table(s) to display achievements on website
** table for achievment types? maybe not needed, strings could be applied in the reached achievements table

==== Ingame tracking and checking ====

** "polling" every x turns via TurnListener, but could be a bad idea as checking might be expensive
** <del>"polling" every x turns via TurnListener, but could be a bad idea as checking might be expensive</del> approach discarded --[[User:Madmetzger|Madmetzger]] 07:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
** "telling" when to check, similar to tutorial events or when raising game events (we have possibly the type here)?

*** key = achievement name, value progress value?
*** <del>key = achievement name, value progress value?</del> statistics should be tracked for everything that might be checked for an achievement --[[User:Madmetzger|Madmetzger]] 07:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
*** add data recording that can be checked
⚫
* find a way to conveniently add new achievements
* <del>find a way to conveniently add new achievements</del> using ChatConditions and the factories makes it easy to add new achievements
** loading system for achievements like stendhal quest system?
** <del>loading system for achievements like stendhal quest system?</del> AchievementNotifier loads achievements on initialization
** building block system similar to ChatConditions?
** <del>building block system using existing ChatConditions</del> Achievements use the ChatConditions for checking stuff
*** killed x creatures
⚫
*** <del>categorized by type of event to determine what to check, i.e. killed x creatures of type y condition should only be checked when having killed a creature but not on looting an item</del> already implemented by categorizing achievements and checking only the right category at each event
⚫
*** collected x items
===== Quest Achievements =====
*** finished x quests
* number of finished quests already tracked
⚫
*** killed creature without a weapon
* repeatable quests should all count the completions of a player
⚫
**** looted certain collection of items
* <del>missing counting: Elf Princess Quest</del> (more missing?)
⚫
*** categorized by type of event to determine what to check, i.e. killed x creatures of type y condition should only be checked when having killed a creature but not on looting an item
* <del>finished x times a quest</del> already implemented
===== Item Achievements =====
* looted items should be tracked in a map for each player with key item name and value number of loots
* looting items (not yet tracked)
* putting items into bank (not yet tracked)
⚫
* collected x items
⚫
* looted certain collection of items

===== Fighting Achievements =====
* <del>killed creatures</del> already tracked
⚫
* killed creature without a weapon
* <del>killed x creatures</del> already implemented
* <del>killed x of y different creatures --> is extension of existing condition possible?</del>
===== Zone Achievements =====
* for zone visit achievements, how to check them:
** <del>hardcoded list of zones to visit for the achievement</del> hardcoded zone name lists don't seem to be maintainable
** <del>exclude all zones including "house", "apartment"</del>
** <del>zones starting with "int" are interiors, region is within zone name</del> zones have a method isInterior() to check
** <del>zones starting with a number >-1 are above ground, region is within zone name<del> exterior zones have a method getLevel()to check
** <del>zones starting with a number <-1 are below ground, region is within zone name</del> exterior zones have a method getLevel()to check
** <del>use zone level attribute, area is in name/xml file, and add a flag to zone xml for accessibility to all players</del> implemented
