TrainingGrounds demo

We've created a playable demo of TrainingGrounds.
TrainingGrounds is a combat simulator addon which is played inside of World of Warcraft.

It is currently uploaded to http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/traininggrounds/files/2-training-grounds-demo-2016-04-21a/.
Place it in your addons folder, move to a safe place in-game, and type /tg to play.

This demo may be relevant to you if:

• you do not currently have access to the Legion alpha, and you do not mind playing a crude approximation of 7.0 Windwalker Monk with mechanics only as accurate as Wowhead's datamined tooltips.
• you do have access to the Legion alpha, but you would like to see how you play at 50% haste with the as-of-yet unreleased changes to SE&F.

The demo is designed for players who are already familiar with the Warlords Windwalker Monk rotation.  There is a "tutorial" which explains the basic controls, but no attempt is made to teach you how to play effectively.

There are many other features missing from the game.  One such feature is actionbar customization.  You cannot rearrange spells on your actionbar.  Sorry about that.  We wanted to get this demo into a playable state as soon as possible, and this wasn't a priority.

If you decide to play this demo, let us know if any of the existing abilties or game mechanics feel wrong or inaccurate.  (For example, we're not sure if the recent change to Roll is just a tooltip error.)  Our top priority at the moment is fixing any broken class mechanics.

Known issues

Automatic shutdown on Lua Error

The current build will automatically shut down if it detects a Lua Error... even if that error didn't originate from TrainingGrounds.  We recommend using the "Display Lua Errors" option in the Interface > Help menu.

Misaligned text

Occasionally, a fontstring will become misaligned.  In the example shown, the text is incorrectly centered instead of left-aligned.  There is some evidence that this is a bug in World of Warcraft, so we may have to find a workaround instead of fixing it.

Aspect ratio distortion

The game was designed for windowed mode.  Depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor, the game window may appear distorted when World of Warcraft is played in fullscreen mode.

Where do we go from here?

There are a lot of things that need doing before we can pretend this addon is even remotely feature complete.  At the very least, we want to implement the remaining Windwalker abilities (defensive cooldowns), allow actionbar customization, and rewrite the program to be more class-agnostic.  Our long-term goal for this addon is to support different classes and specializations, including specializations that do not, technically, exist.
