generalized resource class

[7yl4r]

before adding more resources, a resource class ought to be use to reduce duplication

class resource
    constructor: ()->
        @chance = 0.5  # chance of use per tick
        @expense = 1   # amount subtracted per use
        @amount   = 10 # how much you currently have

    tick: ()->
        if Math.random() < @chance
            @amount -= @expense

I'm not sure I understand the chance variable. I mean, it makes sense with radiation and other random things, but since a 'tick' is basically just time progressing, does it make sense to have a "chance" to expend fuel? I'm curious :)

[7yl4r]

I guess I'm thinking that it's a little fun to have some uncertainty in there so that sometimes you get lucky. It seems like it's not very noticeable as implemented though, with as many times as we're randoming it's virtually the same as * @chance .

I think we may want to reduce the frequency of ticks.

[BrianErikson]

Yeah I agree with that. Maybe a tick every 250ms or something? Four a second? Or we could even go more old-school with it and do two a second

before/during changing that (and balancing the other constants) might be a good time to address #53 too.
