Pathing Mechanic

[Steelwing723]

A function that iterates between two sets of coordinates and produces a list of map symbols that can be referenced to describe a journey between two locations on the map.

The journey could have a lot of user interaction or just be a passive text based experience.

If it is more involved, then that opens quite a few new doors to handle.

Encounter tables
Environment description tables
Progression menu (can check off symbols as you go, perhaps skipping some based on how many there are. For example, may want to limit it to 5 encounters max?)

This will get added to in the future, it could possibly open up a way to create fiefs too.

This will be so cool when done! I was thinking about how adding travel to the game will affect the gameplay. I think it might slow the game down and add a little balance. Other similar games have limited turns you can use per day, which prevents entire kingdoms from getting wiped overnight. Using a travel system where it takes an hour or two to reach your enemy would effectively add those turns to this game. I think that's a good thing for balance.
