Foobartory

Foobartory is a game of factory management. The goal is to buy 20 robots in the factory the fastest possible.

A live version of the game is available on github pages, it is redeployed at each PR that gets integrated.

It is responsive so it can also be played on mobile.

Features

There are 4 locations where actions can be done:

• The foo mine where a robot ca mine foos (takes 1 second).
• The bar mine where a robot ca mine bars (takes 0.5 to 2 seconds).
• The assembling factory where a robot can build 1 foobar from 1 foo and 1 bar (takes 2 seconds).
• The shop where a robot can buy immediately another robot for 3 foobars and 6 foos.

For each robot, the game chooses randomly to move (any move will take 5 seconds) or to stay at the current location and do an action if possible. When deciding to move, it decides also randomly where to move.

The player can change the probability to move, and the relative weights of the 4 locations to influence how often they are chosen.

Code details

The code is separated in 2 parts: the domain using pure Typescript and the UI using React.

The UI has an instance of the domain, and calls methods on it, or subscribes to get updated.

The main game logic is run in the domain with requestAnimationFrame. On each frame the Strategy decides what to do next with all the freezed actors.
