Experimenter defines caloric value division: 3pts

[skleinfeldt]

User story:

As an experimenter I can define how the caloric value of an object is to be divided amongst the players interacting with the object.

Two ways to define calorie splits:

• [x] Transition results in evenly divided calories among transition participants
• [x] Transition requires n participants, but does not generate any calories/score division of transition product is defined by transition/item configuration (similar to e.g. gooseberry bush).

I have a couple of questions: How should calories be defined? What should happen if more than the necessary amount of people is present?

I can imagine three scenarios for the caloric division:

• a fixed amount of calories is distributed to each participating players (for example, consuming a stag will give each player 10 calories)
• a fixed amount of calories is divided amongst participating players (for example if we have 40 total calories and four players, each will receive 10)
• calories will be distributed, but the player initiating the action will get a different value than other players

Regarding the number of players, if more players than necessary are present, we can either:

• not let the transition happen until the exact amount of necessary players are present
• let the transition happen and possibly (if the calories-per-player are fixed, like in the first scenario) have the same item yield a different amount of calories depending on how many players are present

Based on our discussion in today's meeting:

• all players adjacent to the transition will benefit from it, even if there's more than necessary
• the transition should define a total amount of calories to be distributed amongst players
• if calories don't divide evenly the remainder should go to the transition initiator
