Implementation Patterns

Group Resolver

Data-driven implementation that loads reversed street vendor with ai configuration from external definitions.

class ReversedStreetVendorWithAiSystem {
  members: Map<string, { role: string; joinedAt: Date }> = new Map();

  add(playerId: string, role = "member") {
    if (this.members.size >= 10) return false;
    this.members.set(playerId, { role, joinedAt: new Date() });
    this.broadcast(`${playerId} joined as ${role}`);
    return true;
  }

  remove(playerId: string) {
    this.members.delete(playerId);
    this.broadcast(`${playerId} left`);
  }

  hasPermission(playerId: string, action: string) {
    const member = this.members.get(playerId);
    if (!member) return false;
    return PERMISSIONS[member.role]?.includes(action) ?? false;
  }
}

Friend Processor

A modular approach to reversed street vendor with ai that separates concerns and enables easy testing.

class ReversedStreetVendorWithAiEngine {
  members: Map<string, { role: string; joinedAt: Date }> = new Map();

  add(playerId: string, role = "member") {
    if (this.members.size >= 50) return false;
    this.members.set(playerId, { role, joinedAt: new Date() });
    this.broadcast(`${playerId} joined as ${role}`);
    return true;
  }

  remove(playerId: string) {
    this.members.delete(playerId);
    this.broadcast(`${playerId} left`);
  }

  hasPermission(playerId: string, action: string) {
    const member = this.members.get(playerId);
    if (!member) return false;
    return PERMISSIONS[member.role]?.includes(action) ?? false;
  }
}
