Health and such

[Amy@Maplewood]

You said health will effect how many races dogs can race in at once, does that mean if dog has a 5 in health, they can race in 5 races at once if there are 5 races open?

I was thinking, since there usually won't be many races open at a time, how about that number says how many the dog can enter a week? So if it's a 3, the can only enter 3 races that week. Then instead of doing the number out of 10, do it out of 7 since there are only 7 days a week. Or keep it out of 10, then if a dog has a perfect 10, they can enter more than one race on 3 days. I think that is better

Also, when breeding, how will the stats be chosen?

Ya I had that set up for when there were more judges then just me I'll think about it and let you know. Breeding is something I havn't figured out yet, another kink I gotta work out. Sorry for the confusion.

It's okay I think the health thing for the how many a week sounds like a lot of fun and will make it even more challenging and realistic. As RL dogs usually don't race every single day of their lives XD I don't know, just sounds like fun.

I was thinking for breeding, maybe average out the stats between the parents? Example:

Sire : Dame
Speed: 7/10 : 8/10
Stamina: 5/10 : 6/10
Agility: 8/10 : 6/10

Health: 6 : 5
Paws: 1/4 : 2/4
Legs: 3/4 : 4/4
Back: 3/4 : 1/4
Heart: 1/4 : 2/4
Lungs: 4/4 : 3/4

For pups- Add parent's stats together, roll a dice, add that to parent's stats & divide by 3.
Example-
Speed: 7 + 8 = 15 Roll dice = 4, 15 + 4 = 19 divided by 3 = 6.3 round down = 6 So puppy would get a 6/10 for speed

Pup1-
Speed: 6/10
Stamina: 6/10 (Rolled a 6)
Agility: 8/10 (Rolled a 10)

Health: 5 (Rolled a 4)
Paws: 2/4 (Rolled a 2)
Legs: 3/4 (Rolled a 3)
Back: 2/4 (Rolled a 3)
Heart: 3/4 (Rolled a 2)
Lungs: 4/4 (Rolled a 1)


Doing it this way would make each pup different and give stats around the same as the parents, but could be a bit lower or higher.

I think it would be cool to find more ways to put these stats to use I'm a stat fanatic, and love figuring out how to make them effect the dog in some way. Let me know if you'd like to have these stats effect the dogs, and I'll do some brainstorming and let you know what I come up with.

For now I'd just love to see the health idea put into effect

I'll put it in effect tomorrow, I'm too tired to do it tonight, I'll think about the breeding and let you and everyone else know though

Awesome! Thanks for taking it all into consideration!
