Exploring Monster Taming Mechanics in Final Fantasy XIII-2: Viewing the Monster Data

Last time in this Final Fantasy XIII-2 monster taming mechanics series, we continued building views and controllers in the Rails MVC architecture for the monster characteristics and game locations tables. Now it's time to tackle the main table of the site: the monster table. Once we have this monster table, we'll want to add links to the elements of the table so that we can jump directly to related tables of interest. We'll learn how to do that task as well, and we'll see just how easy Rails makes it.

Exploring Monster Taming Mechanics in Final Fantasy XIII-2: Viewing More Data

In the previous episode of this Final Fantasy XIII-2 monster taming mechanics series, we started looking at the view and controller parts of the Rails MVC architecture by building views of the monster material table and the site index. Now it's time to expand our views to some more of the simpler tables, and in so doing, we'll need to improve our site navigation so that we don't have to keep going back to the home page to get anywhere else. We'll build up the monster characteristics and game locations views so that we have something to fill out our navigation, and then we can see how easy it is to build a site-wide navigation bar using Bootstrap. Let's get started.
