Implementation Patterns

Hit Detection System

Event-driven pattern that reacts to enhanced adrenaline system for sandbox changes and updates dependent systems.

class EnhancedAdrenalineSystemForSandboxEngine {
  amount: number = 1000;
  rate: number = 0.8;

  apply(target: Entity) {
    const modifier = this.calculateBonus();
    target.amount -= modifier * 0.75;
    if (target.amount <= 0) {
      target.triggerReset();
    }
  }

  calculateBonus() {
    return this.rate * (1 + this.modifier / 100);
  }
}

Hit Detection System

Data-driven implementation that loads enhanced adrenaline system for sandbox configuration from external definitions.

class EnhancedAdrenalineSystemForSandboxManager {
  power: number = 50;
  modifier: number = 0.8;

  apply(target: Entity) {
    const modifier = this.calculateModifier();
    target.power -= modifier * 0.75;
    if (target.power <= 0) {
      target.triggerReset();
    }
  }

  calculateModifier() {
    return this.modifier * (1 + this.bonus / 100);
  }
}
