Character Stats

A project log for Cyberdeck RPG Character Tracker

a tiny cyberdeck, hopefully awesomely 80s, that can show an RPG character's stats, check out the gear list, and roll some dice

it took some getting used to, using UIFlow. But it can do some amazing things. You can see the code take shape in MicroPython as you work in the visual editor. However once you decide to make changes in the code portion you can't go back. I may make tweaks in the code once I'm done designing the visual interfaces. But you can't beat just drawing buttons on the screen!

I wish there was a way to hide the buttons in the design interface. For now you have to leave them all on there or they get removed from the code. You can show and hide them in the code, so you can create different screens that way to show up woth button pushes. 

So far I have the character stats screen, showing the damage and armor for the character. In accordance with Shadowrun rules you get a penalty to dice rolls for every 3 points of damage. I intend to use this variable in the dice roller.

Here's the main screen:

And a few shots of the character stats:
