I came across this page from my Google Analytics referral tracking:

I knew it was over my head when I got to this:

"I only assume a basic familiarity with monad transformers in this post."

It was interesting nonetheless and I'm fascinated at the level of the detail put into this, so kudos to Mr. Kovach!

Wow, now that's modeling after bots :) and from a random post basically too.

We’ll use str to modify damage output, dex to modify dodge chance, con to modify block chance, and hp to denote the amount of health the bot has remaining.

con to modify block chance....noob

I'd love to even know half the stuff to create bots! Even just to recreate this site in a local environment! Darn, where to learn it all!

Start simple and work your way up. :) A lot of BU (edmazur.com/bots) was my very first steps into web development (and programming in general). You'll make mistakes, but that's how you'll learn - pick out something small to build and work on that until you have something functional. To learn: do, do, do.

Time for me to forget my day job and work on this in all the spare moments that I have. I WILL get good at it, if it kills me!
