Single Responsibility Principle

Gather together those things that change for the same reason, and separate those things that change for different reasons.

Overview of this repo

Inside you will find the beginnings of a ground-breaking new RPG game. Unfortunately in the rush to get features completed the main RpgPlayer class is starting to turn into a hair-ball of responsibilities.

Getting started

1. Clone.
2. Build.
3. Run the tests.

Assessing the current solution

Even though the public interface for the RpgPlayer looks nice and tidy, the nightmare exists behind the scenes.

The RpgPlayer has far too much knowledge about what the items are capable of, though initially this may have seemed like a good place to put the logic as the items are mostly acting on the player.

Adding new features

Feature: Super rare items look more awesome

• As a graphics designer
• I want items that are both rare and unique to look more awesome
• So that the player gets a dopamine hit and keep buying more in-game currency

Add a new rule to PickUpItem that will show a blue_swirly effect if the item is both rare and unique.

Feature: Un-encumbered players can parry more successfully

• As a game designer
• I want the players damage taken to be reduced by 25% if they're carrying under 50% of my capacity
• So that they will win more fights because they're lighter and can dodge attacks more successfully.

Add a new rule that reduces all damage taken via TakeDamage by 25% if the player is carrying less than half their CarryingCapacity.
