Implementation Patterns
Deterministic Skill Tree Handler
Core implementation pattern for handling competitive prayer / faith level with feedback logic with clean state management.
const abilityTree = {
nodes: [
{ id: "foundation", cost: 3, requires: [], effect: "+10% damage" },
{ id: "power_strike", cost: 2, requires: ["foundation"], effect: "+25% damage, unlock combo" },
{ id: "expert", cost: 8, requires: ["power_strike"], effect: "+50% damage, unlock ultimate" },
],
canUnlock(nodeId: string, points: number, unlocked: Set<string>) {
const node = this.nodes.find(n => n.id === nodeId);
if (!node || unlocked.has(nodeId)) return false;
return points >= node.cost
&& node.requires.every(r => unlocked.has(r));
}
};Stat Growth Formula
A modular approach to competitive prayer / faith level with feedback that separates concerns and enables easy testing.
class CompetitivePrayerFaithLevelWithFeedbackEngine {
level = 1;
progress = 0;
addXP(amount: number) {
this.progress += amount;
while (this.progress >= this.xpToNext()) {
this.progress -= this.xpToNext();
this.level++;
this.onLevelUp();
}
}
xpToNext() {
return Math.floor(100 * Math.pow(1.2, this.level - 1));
}
onLevelUp() {
// Grant rewards for level level
this.strength += 5;
}
}
