Event system #1

Open eevee opened 13 years ago

I think this is kind of what i want. Consider:

movement and attacks are currently "Action" objects
game Things currently have a janky method for responding to movement, but need to respond to anything that happens to them—both hypothetically and pragmatically

It sounds like i'm spiraling towards an actual event system. Movement and damage and whathaveyou are events fired by an actor at a target, and the target may respond however it so pleases. So, do that.

Hey turns out this is way too complicated to do in a generic way! Instead I've tried to make everything declarative when possible, and Actions mostly just introspect objects. This makes AI easier to write, too.

I still feel like I'm missing something critical that this system needs, so I'll leave this ticket open until I remember what it is. 8)
