Hi,

Just modified my code a little and now have:

Grunty = Grunt.new(100, 300, 300, "Ak47")
randy = rand(100)
Health = Grunt.hp - randy
 puts  "Grunty is battling a kitten!"
puts "The kitten attacks Grunty with an AK47 and inflicts #{randy} 
points of damage!"
puts "Grunty lost #{randy} health!"
puts "Grunty's hp is #{Health} "

So Grunty is my monster and I'm checking the starting vars from the 
Grunt class, then subtracting hitpoints from a random value. So perhaps 
I should do my checks of if Grunt.hp == 0 then blah in the attack class?

Attached is my (albeit messy) code so far!

Hugh,

Very true in regards to learning from others, I just feel that I 
couldn't emulate that coding style as I don't understand it 
sufficiently. It's very frustrating!

Thanks for the help guys!

Kind Regards,

Ruairidh McHardy
