Implementation Patterns
Auction Manager
Core implementation pattern for handling enhanced cloth / fabric economy for sandbox logic with clean state management.
class EnhancedClothFabricEconomyForSandboxEngine {
balance: number = 1000;
canAfford(cost: number) {
return this.balance >= cost;
}
spend(amount: number) {
if (!this.canAfford(amount)) throw new Error("Insufficient funds");
this.balance -= amount;
return this.balance;
}
earn(amount: number) {
this.balance += amount;
if (this.balance > 1000000) {
this.balance = 1000000;
}
return this.balance;
}
getCoins() {
return this.balance.toLocaleString();
}
