Parser Development

[nguoiyoujie]

The Parser set of classes is aimed to allow the construction of a game and game objects through the reading of text-based strings. This will allow the game to be saved and recreated (loaded).

Redesign

• [x] Redesign of ActorInfo and ActorTypeInfo properties: Compartmentalize them into meaningful components. Handling of logic related to a component should be realized within the component's methods.
  • [x] Immutable components go to ActorTypeInfo
  • [x] Engine sound generation [SoundSourceInfo]
  • [x] Debris generation [DebrisSpawnerInfo]
  • [x] Mutable components (which change along the course of the game) go to ActorInfo
  • [x] Explosion generation [ExplosionInfo]
  • [x] Shield generation [RegenerationInfo]
  • [x] Movement (+ dying movement logic) [MovementInfo]
  • [x] Weapons [WeaponSystemInfo]
  • [x] Camera positioning [CameraSystemInfo]

ActorTypeInfo

• [x] Use Enums in place of Type 'Groups'
  • [x] Replace FighterGroup & TIEGroup with Boolean check IsFighter / Enum
  • [x] Replace StarDestroyerGroup & WarshipGroup with Boolean check IsShip / Enum
  • [x] Replace AddonGroup & other relevant groups with Boolean check IsAddon / Enum
  • [x] Replace ProjectileGroup ---Moved Projectiles to its own class ProjectileTypeInfo---
  • [x] Handle Radar icons and shapes with field properties instead of by Type
• [x] Creation of functions to populate the properties an ActorTypeInfo class
• [x] Upgrading the ActorTypeFactory class to generate such an ActorTypeInfo class

ActorInfo

• [x] Ensure all properties and components of the ActorInfo class can be generated from a parsed list
• [x] Creation of a parser to populate the properties an ActorInfo class
• [x] Upgrading the ActorFactory class to generate such an ActorInfo class

ActionInfo

• [ ] Ensure all properties of the ActionInfo class can be generated from a parsed list
• [ ] Creation of a parser to populate the properties an ActionInfo class
• [ ] Upgrading the ActionFactory class to generate such an ActionInfo class

WeaponInfo

• [x] Ensure all properties of the WeaponInfo class can be generated from a parsed list
• [x] Creation of the WeaponParser class to populate the properties an WeaponInfo class
• [x] Upgrading the WeaponFactory class to generate such an WeaponInfo class

GameScenarioBase / Scripting

• [x] Create a method to load a custom scenario into the scenario list
• [x] Create a parser to parse game events.
• [ ] Create a parser to parse scenario properties
• [x] Consider a scripting language / protocol to perform in-game logic and calculations [Scripting.Expressions]
