Coding Challenge #14

1st Lecture w/Ben Nelson: Review Code Challenge #13 constructors

• Object Oriented Design

• the inheritance is like a tree

• ES6 classes are syntactic sugar built upon ES5 Prototypes

• constructor(options) vs constructor(props) vs constructor(foofie) same difference?

• private methods? e.g. so only a DM can set character levels - JS uses pseudo privacy, just a convention. Something similar can be done with closure, or checking is caller is inrtended function otherwise returning false.

• different syntax for node, but you could break down each class into a file, make import and export statements and then have a game.js file which runs the game and imports all the classes

  • /gameClasses/NPC.js

  class NPC {
    constructor(options) {
      ...
    }
  }
  
  export default NPC;

  • /gameClasses/Humanoid.js

  import NPC from './NPC'
  
  class Humanoid extends NPC {
    constructor(options) {
      super(options);
      ...
    }
  }
  
  export default Humanoid;

  • game.js

  import NPC from './gameClasses/NPC.js'
  import Humanoid from './gameClasses/Humanoid.js'
  
  ...do stuff
  
  run(game):

• above is a React style import/export, but here's how with node: https://github.com/bpesquet/thejsway/blob/master/manuscript/chapter24.md#nodejs-modules
