928 PointsThe code in the video is wrong
The enemy died two times in the example. And why does the inRange function need that much parameters?
I corrected the code (you're welcome)
struct Point {
let x: Int
let y: Int
init(x: Int, y: Int) {
self.x = x
self.y = y
}
func surroundingPoints(withRange range: Int = 1) -> [Point] {
var result: [Point] = []
for xCoord in (self.x-range)...(self.x+range) {
for yCoord in (self.y-range)...(self.y+range) {
result.append(Point(x: xCoord, y: yCoord))
}
}
return result
}
}
class Enemy {
var life: Int = 100
var position: Point
init(x: Int, y: Int) {
self.position = Point(x: x, y: y)
}
func decraeseHealth(factor: Int) {
life -= factor
}
}
class Tower {
let position: Point
var range: Int = 1
var strength: Int = 1
init(x: Int, y: Int) {
self.position = Point(x: x, y: y)
}
func fireAtEnemy(enemy: Enemy) {
if(inRange(enemy)) {
while enemy.life > 0 {
enemy.decraeseHealth(self.strength)
if (enemy.life == 0) {
print("Enemy died")
}
}
} else {
print("Enemy is out of range");
}
}
func inRange(enemy: Enemy) -> Bool {
let target = enemy.position
let availabePosition = position.surroundingPoints(withRange: range)
for point in availabePosition {
if (point.x == target.x) && (point.y == target.y) {
return true
}
}
return false
}
}
let tower = Tower(x: 2, y: 2)
let enemy = Enemy(x: 1, y: 2)
tower.fireAtEnemy(enemy)
