Implementation Patterns
Detection Meter
typescriptTracks enemy awareness with multi-state detection
class DetectionSystem {
private awareness = 0;
private readonly THRESHOLD = 100;
update(visibility: number, noise: number, distance: number): State {
const rate = (visibility * 0.5 + noise * 0.3) / Math.max(distance, 1);
this.awareness = clamp(this.awareness + rate, 0, this.THRESHOLD);
if (this.awareness >= this.THRESHOLD) return 'ALERT';
if (this.awareness > 60) return 'SUSPICIOUS';
if (this.awareness > 20) return 'CAUTIOUS';
return 'UNAWARE';
