gundam-state

Testing the python library pytransitions https://github.com/pytransitions/transitions

Modeling the transitions between the different modes a Gundam can take. Still learning the resource, so plans are loose. Should define at least 2 common actions: move and attack.

Gundam, Gunship, Airframe

Could build a base for other features around a simple Pokemon-style form countering game, but with the ability to transform modes to succeed.

Gundams can be in one of three modes:

• Fighter (Gundam)
• Airframe
• Docked (Gunship)

Mode Counters will be:

• Gundam counters Airframe (melee, fast and close range)
• Airframe counters Gunship (ranged, fastest and medium range)
• Gunship counters Gundam (magic, slow and long range)

Gundam VS Gundam

• can equip gun to get early attack damage before melee range is closed
• DRAW

Gundam VS Airframe

• having greater freedom of movement makes it difficult for Airframe to attack Gundams
• can equip gun and get edge with advanced tracking
• Gundam DOMINATES

Gundam VS Gunship

• cannot compete at range
• boarding the Gunship will assassinate the Gunship
• has great difficulty dodging AOE shells
• Gunship DOMINATES

Airframe VS Airframe

• dogfights come down to maneuverability
• victory to whoever can get behind the other
• DRAW

Airframe VS Gunship

• Airframe is faster than the shells of the Gunship
• Airframe can close the gap and land continuous strikes
• Gunship's only chance is to corner the Airframe and shoot in its predicted path
• Airframe DOMINATES

Gunship VS Gunship

• must strike first, so predicting where to send shells is most important
• DRAW

Battle Board

Could implement a simple board game, with tile distances and attack ranges per Gundam.

Submodes:

• Gundam has Sword and Rifle
• Airframe has Main Gun and Bombs
• Gunship has Long Range and AOE Rounds
