Implementation Patterns
Journal Dispatcher
Optimized pattern for hybrid underdog story with scaling that minimizes per-frame computation cost.
class HybridUnderdogStoryWithScalingEngine {
currentNode: string = "opening";
flags: Set<string> = new Set();
getDialogue() {
const node = DIALOGUE_TREE[this.currentNode];
return {
text: node.text,
choices: node.choices.filter(c =>
!c.requires || c.requires.every(f => this.flags.has(f))
)
};
}
choose(choiceIndex: number) {
const node = DIALOGUE_TREE[this.currentNode];
const choice = node.choices[choiceIndex];
if (choice.setsFlag) this.flags.add(choice.setsFlag);
this.currentNode = choice.next;
return this.getDialogue();
}
