Triple Triad

[thedybre 1]

Hi! Is there a way to make a Triple Triad script? Like in FFVIII minigame, a simple card system, because in FFIX the cards level up depending on the battles them win, and that would be a little bit difficult...

 

something like this:

 

EDIT:

the cards have four numbers 1 to 9 and maximum: A

also could have a elemental attribute, like fire, water... this adds weak or strong properties...

 

 

thank you!

(and sorry 'bout the bad english)

Well, I'm no scripter, but I don't understand.... how do you even play the game?

Is it like tic-tac-toe with random numbers on cards?

[+ TheDarkKnight 9]

the numbers corespond to the four sides of the card. so lets say my card has 4 on the right and i play to the left of the card of the oppent with 3 on left side

 

i would overtake his card and now control 2 cards on the board because the right side of my card is powered by a 4 while the left of his card is powered by a 3. The goal of the game is to have control of more cards at end of game. I loved this game in ff8.

 

i support this script!

 

edit:

 

tracked down a spanish vx version http://www.mediafire.com/?bomu8t82a751m30

 

came from http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=43242&hl=triad

I'd like the cards be simple graphics, because in that script sean nelson posts, the cards must be made in corel or photoshop, is more useful that the cards are simple graphics...

[+ TheDarkKnight 9]

well the card images are what u make them, they can be more on simple side or more extreme. really depends on what u make them really.

There was also an XP version, it seems to be a one which has been converted at some point for each maker and I don't think I've seen one yet for ACE but the engine is still young. Hopefully one would be created soon, if not then it shouldn't be that long till one's made.

ill give this a bump cause I would love to see this ported.

[MisterJay 1]

Just wish someone could do a quick translation for us.

i found this in a French speaking community it looks similar to triple triad http://www.rpgmakervx-fr.com/t11764-vxacecard

is it impossible to sign up for this site?

[thedybre 1]

I signed up in the site, and asks me for special acces to see the scripts section...

Why does everyone like Triple Triad when Tetra Master was by far the superior game? o3o

[+ TheDarkKnight 9]

nah tripple triad was cooler! anyways hope to see someone start to work on this

[Coolie 148]

I'd also love to see Triple Triad converted for VX Ace.

Resources available in XP version for anyone that wants to take a shot at it.

Tetra master confused me to no end, especially when my cards randomly got stronger.

I mean, I could win, but I didn't know why a card beat another card.

^ Me too! Haha, I had no idea what made a card better than another.

[Tsukihime 1,489]

One time I brought in a massive 200-point card against this puny 10-point card. And I just watched as my 200-point card was quickly drained while the 10-point card was taking 1 damage for every 40 points or something.

 

And then it beat my card! How does that work!

[Coolie 148]

I checked out that French website, and was able to register (only with Firefox, Google Chrome didn't work) and even then, you need to put in some sort of application to access the scripts section. That's where I got stuck and couldn't figure out where to "apply" for it. Sigh.

[Tsukihime 1,489]

Let's go, Tetra Master Ace.

Something XP and VX don't have!

I support this so hard. Triple Triad (Sorry guys) is one of my favorite Final Fantasy minigames. I have to say, Tetra Master was WAY too confusing for my tastes....

I would hate to be the guy who has to design the A.I. for this.

Getting all of that info into a script would be hellish at best.

That being said, I adore triple triad and would be willing to learn whichever scripting method one would prefer to get this done.

[Tsukihime 1,489]

Making the AI doesn't sound too bad: you have 9 squares to choose from initially and 5 cards in your hand and 5 cards in the opponent's hand.

 

I mean, a simple AI could just randomly go

 

find free spot
place card

You could improve it by saying

 

 

If you can take a card, do it.
Else, find a free spot and place your card

You can continue to refine the AI by calculating the utility of each action based on various things, such as the rules that are currently active, how much you would win/lose by, etc.

 

Given the limited number of cards and spaces, you can easily build a tree to find an optimal play; typically there are a lot of bad moves that you can rule out.

 

It seems even easier to do an AI if you think about it that way.

You know, I was saying pretty much exactly that. I typed out about four paragraphs explaining how triple triad could work before I accidentally hit the 'back' button....

So I posted that link. Thank you for saving that thought.

Just curious.....How hard would this be to throw together? I mean, we already have quite a few character portraits in-game. Most users wouldn't mind setting it up or even making their own if it meant using a script like this....

Any ideas how long the A.I. would take?
