I was doing object oriented graphical C++ variations. Not that tough to learn, object programming makes a lot of sense.
Back to the topic, good luck programming those Raylin.

Nice list, how are you going to implement these spells? Is there going to be the elemental weaknesses and immunities?
I presume for N spells, he'll have an 8N-character string in order to display the spells, and probably maintain either a list of effects from each spell, or programmatically select the behavior of each spell.

No, Latin, perhaps you've heard of it? I sometimes moonlight as a Latin scholar. 
yeaah, stupify is is a Harry Potter spell, heheh
anywho, Raylin, you should really consider a Kamehameha wave as a final blow
just sayin...
@qazz42: I'm thinking about it.
Actually, Kerm is right. 8N-character string. And there will be a rock, paper, scissors-like element system. But, this is the beauty of it:
Code: {2,3,3,1,1,2
<damage> = int(<base damage of spell>+(2*<intelligence>)*(1-.5(<enemy affiliation>=Ans(2X-1))+(<enemy affiliation>=Ans(2X
One single algorithm does it all.
EDIT: Formatting.
EDIT 2: Negation and sign issues.
EDIT 3: "Damage will be halved if strong, damage doubled if weak."
One single algorithm for every single spell? Or am I misunderstanding you somehow?
One algorithm for calculating the damage of all spells, including elemental weaknesses and such.
yay!
heheh, I actually was thinking of adding a Kamehameha wave in one of my dead projects...

Congratulations, Raylin, that's quite an impressive feat. Speaking of size and optimizations, what do you foresee for this? What will be the full set of the finished pieces of it (GUI, battle engine, menus, save/load system, ???) and estimated size and requirements?
The BASIC version shall be about ~4000 bytes, the GUI one... more.

I'm assuming closer to (or beyond) the latter than the former. 
Yeah. Much more. I'm trying to keep these games in the same program for simplicity.
Also, there shall be one class-specific action that you can use!

Ooooh, one per class, you mean, or one overall?
One per class. For example, Healer has Heal while the Paladin has Final Strike.

Forego the story! (For now. The Simplest RPG will have an epic storyline, thus adding to the misnomer.)

Oh geez, there's going to be another one? I'll continue to nag you about the graphical version of A Simple RPG if it's all the same to you.

Make sure that you write code as you learn, otherwise it won't sink in as well. Feel free to ask us for any help or tips with it.
Testing complex lists:
{999,999,999,999,99,99,99,99,999999,99,99 //111 bytes
{999.999+999.999i,99.99+99.99i,999999+99.99i //66 bytes
"999999999999999999999999999999 //41 bytes

Edit: wait, that's only 3 elements. That's what I'd expect.
Actually... that means that ASRPG could be optimized even more! o.o
