Field Detail

growth

protected double growth

How likely we are to spread on a given turn. This begins at zero and increases by 1% each turn, or more accurately, the chance that we won't spread begins at 100% and is multiplied by .99 each turn.

Method Detail

doAction

public void doAction()

Take the default action, then make us a bit more likely to spread or ensnarl.

Overrides:

doAction in class RealObject

getSpreadability

public double getSpreadability()

Tell how likely we are to spread this turn.

Overrides:

getSpreadability in class RealObject

Returns:

the extent of our growth.

preClone

protected void preClone()

Cut back on excitement in cloned pieces. The idea here is that if something grows into another room, both the new piece and the original are smaller and weaker than before. But they'll grow back if you give them time.

Overrides:

preClone in class RealObject
