I will mark these as [done] when I've managed to do them. Today is the 24th May, so let's see how long it takes to complete everything on the list.
Cheers

Stage Fights To-Do List:

Overall:
- Sort out problem with session variables -- [done]
- Create a turn counter table [done]
- If turns<50 then newbie=TRUE [done]
- Create a money table [done]
- Start with Ł100 [done]

Enter Bar:
- Charge for entry [done]
- If seen drinker before, then the info about them (including whether they are working for you) will appear before you buy them a drink. [done]
- Actor drinkers:
- Hire for troupe? (Cost:Łx, Looks:x/10) Y/N [done]
- Build Actor wages table (this will be filled/changed only when a deal is struck in a bar, the rate chosen will depend on how much is known about the actor, so at first it's just based on looks)[done]
- Build Picture functionality for actors (including ability for bosshogs to upload pictures for a specific actor using actor_id.gif naming convention)[done]
- Once actor is hired, there needs to be a link going back to "back to bar" and "troupe details"[done]
- "Theatre Company" also needs to be a link to Troupe Details.[done]
- Troupe details needs to be built as a full page, but also as an include file where it's just a table. Build the include file first.[done]

- Writer drinkers
- Buy Script? (Cost: Łx, Type: , Number Male Actors: , Number Female Actors: ) Y/N
- Add picture functionality for writers
- Read Script? (Num Turns?)
- This estimates script quality. The randomness of this estimate will depend on the experience of the director, and the writer's past career. It will remain possible for a talented writer to have a poor script, but the admin section should be set up so this doesn't happen too often)
- Cost needs to be decided by writer's rating and estimated script ratings. This is a one-off payment.
- Once script is bought, you get:
- Summary of script, requirements to stage, % progress along the way.
- Hoxtonite Drinkers
- Add picture functionality. Add Return to bar link.
- Producer drinkers
- Equivalent of writers.
- Except, later on, they will take a % of profits, not a one-off payment.

Choose Theatre:
- Type should be visible
- Need to know if they're booked
- "Book for x turns"
- Rent will be a flat rate depending on theatre quality per number of turns
- Waiting list if it's already taken
- Only allow play if it's the right type

Contacts:
- Writers need to be associated with scripts in the Contact list, so you can remember a show you saw described and go back to put it on when you've got more experience.

Side Nav:
- Click on title to get info on play

Rehearsals:
- Need to check whether you have right number of actors
- Once rehearsed, need to take to rehearsal results page.
- Build a "production monitor" table for those in production (when they open, they go into a separate archived table). Columns: director, script, morale, ensemble ability...These are not finalised, we need to get input from Rol on what indicates how well a production is going in rehearsal.

Open Show:
- Need opening results
- Build opened shows monitor table. Columns: director, script, criticism, audience.
Again, may need input from Rol
- When show closes, this data is archived in separate table.
