TOGA Topic 3: C++ Classes

This week's workshop introduces us to how C++ classes work to optimize coding. We were asked to create our own classes for a game of our own, with the instructions to "Think of what data you will need to keep track of, and how it might be put into classes on various “levels” like we did with the stadium/team/player approach."

I decided to use a mobile game gacha, Fire Emblem Heroes as inspiration. In the game, you are able to customize units by equipping different skills, weapons and specials, and build teams of up to 4 units to take on battles.

Each unit would have 1 weapon type, 1 movement type, 1 assist, 1 special, and 4 skill slots. They would also have 5 stats: HP, Attack, Speed, Defense and Resistance, as well as being able to go up to Level 40.

Movement types would include Infantry, Cavalry, Armors and Flyers. This would determine how many spaces they could move in one turn.

Specials would be charged by attacking or getting attacked.

Weapons would either be melee (1 range) or ranged (2 range). They would also have different levels of power.

Each skill slot (A, B, C, S) would have a name and description. There should also be an array listing what skills that unit had learned, as well as a call to the Weapon, Special and Assist class referring to those classes as well.
