So I've a mind to work on a turn based, table-top like war game, similar to victory at sea, battle fleet gothic, and other naval/space games. I've been trying to break down scenes/screens into a tiered task kind of format to break down what I need into simpler and simpler tasks if it's not obvious how to do based on the description.
I'll share what I have below, but I'm wondering, what tutorials or advice might help me break down and learn the pieces I need to cobble this together?
Start Screen
-Background image
--Some png or jpeg or whatnot in a frame?
-Buttons
--New game/ options/ quit?
-Music?
Pre-Game Screen
-Select scenario
-Choose Points Limit Per Player
-Choose Number of Players
--drop down menu
-Choose Number of Teams
--drop down menu? or maybe chosen by scenario
-Assign Players to Teams
-Decide roles for each team per the scenario, “attacker” “defender” etc
-Allow players to select units up to point limit
--Pull units from a database? Store all unit info in this node/scene?
Game Screen
-Generate terrain for the scenario if required
-Generate random terrain to fill other zones
-Place units required by the scenario
-Game Loop
--Allow players/teams to take turns placing units within deployment zones according to scenario
--Begin the Game
---Turn Sequence
----Determine initiative
----Movement Phase
----Attack Phase
----End Phase
Post-Game Screen
-Show results and statistics for game
-Button to return to some menu (pre-game screen?new game? Main menu?)
