Collecting Ideas

• collect more achievement ideas and nice titles at Stendhal Achievement Ideas
  • gives hints for further design decisions
  • can help structuring achievements into categories

Client and Website

• Should achievements be visible within the game? (low prio)
  • look action on player could be extended by a title based on the amount of fullfilled achievements
• Website should be extended with a hall of fame section on achievements
• Have a log about recently reached achievements on the website? (i.e. player has reached Junior Explorer achievement)

Design

• database table(s) to display achievements on website
  • table for achievment types? maybe not needed, strings could be applied in the reached achievements table
  • table for player has reached achievement
• check if player has fulfilled an achievement
  • "polling" every x turns via TurnListener, but could be a bad idea as checking might be expensive
  • "telling" when to check, similar to tutorial events or when raising game events (we have possibly the type here)?
  • store reached achievements as string set in player object
  • how to store progress for a certain achievement?
    • using a map?
    • key = achievement name, value progress value?
• find a way to conveniently add new achievements
  • loading system for achievements like stendhal quest system?
  • building block system similar to ChatConditions?
    • killed x creatures
    • collected x items
    • finished x quests
    • killed creature without a weapon
      • looted certain collection of items
    • 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
