Implementation Patterns

Pathfinding Algorithm

Core implementation pattern for handling stackable surfboard / wakeboard for sandbox logic with clean state management.

class StackableSurfboardWakeboardForSandboxManager {
  pos = { x: 0, y: 0 };
  speed = 5.0;
  phase = "standing";

  update(input: Input, dt: number) {
    const speed = this.getSpeed();
    this.pos.x += input.x * speed * dt;
    this.pos.y += input.y * speed * dt;
  }

  getSpeed() {
    switch (this.phase) {
      case "sprinting": return this.speed * 1.5;
      case "crouching": return this.speed * 0.5;
      case "swimming": return this.speed * 0.8;
      default: return this.speed;
    }
  }
}

  velocity = 3.0;
  state = "idle";

  update(input: Input, dt: number) {
    const speed = this.getSpeed();
    this.pos.x += input.x * speed * dt;
    this.pos.y += input.y * speed * dt;
  }

  getSpeed() {
    switch (this.state) {
      case "sprinting": return this.velocity * 1.8;
      case "crouching": return this.velocity * 0.4;
      case "swimming": return this.velocity * 0.6;
      default: return this.velocity;
    }
