Monster Factory

Overview

Monster Factory is a production simulator built with C++ and Qt. The project simulates a factory that creates monsters with different properties based on combinations of materials and attributes.

System Architecture

The application is structured around several key components:

• Raw Materials: Different types of materials used in monster creation
• Production Line: Various stages monsters go through during creation
• Quality Control: Inspection system for validating monster quality
• Storage System: Storage for completed monsters
• Delivery System: Process for fulfilling customer orders

Core Components

Materials

The factory uses three types of raw materials to create monsters:

• Energy: Types include Cosmic, Elemental, and Dark
• Material: Types include Organic, Metallic, and Radioactive
• Evil: Types include Cunning, Chaotic, and Ruthless

Monster Creation

Monsters are created through specific combinations of materials that produce different monster types:

• Cosmic + Organic + Cunning = INTELLIGENCE
• Elemental + Radioactive + Chaotic = DESTRUCTION
• Dark + Organic + Ruthless = REGENERATION
• Elemental + Metallic + Ruthless = STRENGTH
• Dark + Metallic + Cunning = EVIL
• Dark + Radioactive + Ruthless = POISON
• Cosmic + Radioactive + Chaotic = MADNESS
• Cosmic + Metallic + Cunning = TECHNOLOGY
• Elemental + Organic + Chaotic = SPEED

Production Process

1. Material Sources: Generate raw materials
2. Combiner: Mixes materials to create monsters
3. Furnace: Contains trays for "baking" monsters
4. Quality Control: Inspectors validate monster quality
5. Storage: Holds completed monsters ready for delivery
6. Garbage Collector: Handles rejected monsters

Order System

• Customers place orders with specific monster requirements
• Orders can have priority status
• Delivery system manages order fulfillment

Logging System

The application maintains detailed logs in the following categories:

• General Log
• Order Log
• Storage Log
• Inspector Logs
• Garbage Collector Log
• Delivery Log
• Queue Log
