What issues are you haveing with the battle system? The largest issue I personally hit was dealing with the placement of menus, etc... got so sick of calculating shit out. |
I'm pretty much new to programming, so I don't know how to do anything with XML.. but I'm self taught so its something I should learn
I know a lot of the map editors i've found use XML too, like Tiled and Mappy.
as far as menu placement, I found a trick that I read in a book, setting up some unit tests for the method used to draw the menu sprites. I used it a lot when doing the main menu sprites, you can see it at the bottom of GameEngine.cs, just search for #region Unit Test.
