In order to have the game play itself you kind of need to have it be able to select which skill point to chose when you level up.

This is totally doable! The art is definitely in crafting a build that is "good" but I mean I'm not here for that.

So far I'm implementing a thing that takes ordered "objectives", and tries to complete each one before moving to the next. IDK, it seems pretty simple to me but even now I can kind of feel that it's lacking.

In any case, this necessitates some changes to how skills are loaded along with some new code for actually loading builds and updating them as "objectives" are completed.

Going over the bank module showed me that collecting interest was broken.
Going over the inventory module showed me that User Inventory was broken.

Maybe worthwhile to get some tests, also?

Haven't done this yet at all...
It's probably really similar to how they do it in 'new game' screens though.

Then, relatedly, how to actually describe and follow a sequence of 'level up' steps given at the start of a playthrough. (Probably a different issue though)

The bare minimum example given in README.md no longer works. the getPage("http://www.neopets.com") call in usr.login() now returns a page stating that StackPath has blocked the request:

ie. for tests, so you can turn it off from like within the test module.
( there is probably a way to do it now, and i should do it... )
(but issues are for delegation, right?)

• right now, some of this logging is set up in init.py (which is why it always happens and I wondered why) ( *.log.txt )
• wherefore does the um, *.html logging come from? possibly HTMLfilter.py ?

Well, I assumed it'd be just like using the overworld, but it's a little bit different... (of course).

My first idea for even allowing NPC interaction was to create a "local action" list on a State, and then have the main module/object interact with that by calling "local_action()" - but here comes a kicker - what if there's more than one possible local action?

That's not too tough, but it'd be nice to be able to surface the possible actions in a way that makes

1. examining them, and
2. executing them

easy and sensible and blah blah.

Kind of related to #1 - we need to kinda, make the "game state" visible and accessible for each 'mode' as I'm calling it.

Yeah, state isn't the "best" name, I get it...

Talk screens going relatively well...
I guess the 'give' part is a part of the Talk mode so there's that.
Ganbaro!

well, my initial idea is to do somesort of "let's create a graph and save it as a file" strategy.

I'm coming up with problems already though...

1. need to be able to add extra data to nodes (doors, npcs, ... items of interest, battle rates, etc)
2. how do you know when you've hit a wall? (this one's the mind killer)
3. how to treat undiscovered things vs. discovered things that certainly don't exist vs. things that certainly do exist (not too much of a problem, probably)

The current format for the game state is... alright... but I mean... could be better, maybe?
Specifically the battle state repr. It couldn't be that hard, probably. ;)

Battle state:

wouldn't this be nice? that way your pets aren't dying all the time. especially if you get like, one omelette a day. plus a jelly, even.
