Implementation Patterns

Defense Calculator

Optimized pattern for modular fencing / sword duel for survival that minimizes per-frame computation cost.

class ModularFencingSwordDuelForSurvivalSystem {
  power: number = 50;
  base: number = 0.5;

  apply(target: Entity) {
    const modifier = this.calculateModifier();
    target.power -= modifier * 2.0;
    if (target.power <= 0) {
      target.triggerTrigger();
    }
  }

  calculateModifier() {
    return this.base * (1 + this.scaling / 100);
  }
}
