This project is dedicated to the creation of a dynamic simulator tailored for raid-style games, offering an immersive 5 vs 5 hero battle simulation experience. At its core, the project focuses on the development of a robust codebase that generates accurate results. Owing to the multitude of statistics, skills, and effects involved, predicting the outcome of a battle is far from straightforward. However, this simulator addresses this challenge, offering reliable statistical predictions regarding the strength of different team compositions.
An early-access version of the simulator, already in existence as a proof of concept, demonstrates its viability. This prototype has successfully implemented a range of integral components, including:
- Factions (Foresters, DoomLegion, WizardsEye, SunsetSages, EternalSect, DragonTribe, HolyLightParliament, NamelessBrotherhood, TheForgotten, SwordHarborGuards, HiddenWave)
- Skills (ScorchedSoul, FireHeal, Resurrection, ScytheStrike, BloodthirstyScythe, EnergyBurst, ...)
- Passives (BloodthirstyDesire, ForceOfMercy, ...)
- Marks
- Heroes (Natalie, Seth, Liz, Space)
- Generic stats for heroes and generic skills
Rust, renowned for its capacity to deliver both high-performance and secure programming, will serve as the primary language for the project's implementation. That is also why the rust-artwork is used in the logo. The technical aspirations of this endeavor encompass:
- Parallelization to optimize computation efficiency
- Streamlined debugging processes to ensure code integrity
- Interactive mode for inspection
- Automized testing suite to avoid regression
The software will initially include bugs, which will be addressed over time through ongoing fixes and incoming reports. I cannot provide an assurance of an unlimited commitment to implementing all heroes in the future.
After downloading the executable from extracting the archive and running the executable therein should bring up a interface like below.
You can use the debug executable preferably with threads=1 and iterations=1 to see what's happening in the simulation in the terminal.
Adjust src/ui/bin.rs to src/bin.rs in the Cargo.toml and run cargo run [--release] to run the executable.
You can use the executable via commandline as well:
$ ./raid_optimize --no-gui -a Natalie -e Natalie -i 10000 -t16
win%: 36.72 (3672 / 10000)
stall%: 0.00 (0 / 10000)
loss%: 63.28 (6328 / 10000)
