StendhalEconomy: Difference between revisions

== Implementing an Economy tracking mechanism ==

=== Basic Idea ===

For being able to make decisions on prices etc. you need to be aware of the current value of the whole [[Stendhal]] economy. This means there should be a mechanism that tracks what items (incl. <item>money</item>) are currently in the economy, which value changes happen to the economy (i.e. item loots, potion usage, ...). With that base data it should be possible to get a hint on how the economy's value is changing over time.

=== Technical Assets already being there ===

With the itemLog table most of the relevant data is already collected, so the records there need to be analysed in a clever way by looking item wise at events like item creation or destruction. The server needs some clever methods to access that data.

=== Open Questions ===

* How to deal with assets of players stopping to play?
