Hi, I re-discovered tiddlywili recently (after listening to the changelog podcast) and decided to revisit an old idea i had back in 2010 and see how well it fits into TW5. Traditionally this has been done with spreadsheets, e.g. https://github.com/Heliomance/HeroForge-Anew, i would like to do this in a tiddlywiki.
---- I've been thinking about using the Tiddlywiki as the basis for a generic RPG character generator. The idea being that tiddlies are used to fill in the blanks of an SVG character sheet "template", which can then be printed. So before i get too involved I'd like to know if anyone has done anything similar, or if it's a reasonable goal? ---- My thinking on this has evolved somewhat since then, but the basic principle still holds. As i see it i need: - to maintain a narrative timeline - account for level and story adjustments to the character stats. I see this as being able embed a code or link or something into the tiddler story "I earned a +1 bonus for outstanding use of a particular skill" - to be able to use tiddlywiki a bit like a spreadsheet. e.g. I want to create single tiddlers that correspond to one aspect of the character, that when manipulated, will update other related calculated tables etc. - import an external JSON or similar data source (posisbly from a server), to be managed an object/tiddler that can be 'instantiated' in the document. Imagine an inventory tiddler, with a selection of default items defined already. - Render HTML/SVG like page/report. I'm completely new to TW5, not so much to JS. What plugins do i need? Is there something like that out there already i can use? if not out of the box, but as a reference? cheers, Tim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
