Implementation Patterns
Collision Detector
Data-driven implementation that loads dash / burst speed mark ii configuration from external definitions.
class DashBurstSpeedMarkIiManager {
location = { x: 0, y: 0 };
baseSpeed = 8.0;
state = "walking";
update(input: Input, dt: number) {
const speed = this.getSpeed();
this.location.x += input.x * speed * dt;
this.location.y += input.y * speed * dt;
}
getSpeed() {
switch (this.state) {
case "sprinting": return this.baseSpeed * 2.0;
case "crouching": return this.baseSpeed * 0.4;
case "swimming": return this.baseSpeed * 0.8;
default: return this.baseSpeed;
}
}
