Code Patterns from Community

Entity System (Frentity style)

import Entity

class Missile extends Entity
    angle direction
    real speed
    
    construct(vec3 pos, angle dir, real spd)
        super(pos)
        direction = dir
        speed = spd
    
    override function update()
        pos += direction.toVec(speed * ANIMATION_PERIOD).withZ(0)
        if outOfBounds()
            terminate()

Event-Driven Architecture

import ClosureEvents

// Centralized event handling
init
    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH) ->
        onUnitDeath(GetTriggerUnit(), GetKillingUnit())
    
    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_PICKUP_ITEM) ->
        onItemPickup(GetTriggerUnit(), GetManipulatedItem())

function onUnitDeath(unit dying, unit killer)
    // Handle death globally
    
function onItemPickup(unit picker, item itm)
    // Handle item pickup

Configuration Pattern

package SpellConfig

// Configurable values
@configurable public constant DAMAGE = 100.
@configurable public constant COOLDOWN = 10.
@configurable public constant RANGE = 600.

// Config package
package SpellConfig_config
@config public constant DAMAGE = 150.  // Override default

Unit Indexing

import HashMap

let unitData = new HashMap<unit, UnitData>()

class UnitData
    unit u
    int customValue
    
    construct(unit u)
        this.u = u
        unitData.put(u, this)
    
    ondestroy
        unitData.remove(u)

function getUnitData(unit u) returns UnitData
    return unitData.get(u)
