AdventureWeapon

Instructions

We create now the weapon for our adventurers. Create a new class Weapon in a new file Weapon.java.

It has two attributes :

• a String called name with a getter.
• an integer called damage with a getter.

The constructor has these 2 attributes as parameters.

Let's overwrite the toString method for this class : it returns a string under the format <name> deals <damage> damages

Now, add a weapon attribute to the Character class, in its constructor and in the constructor of all subclasses.

In all subclasses, in the attack method, you need to use the damage when calling the takeDamage method. It the character has no weapon, use the previous defined damage per subclasses.

Update the toString method of all subclasses by using the concatenation of the current value with the following string : He has the weapon <weapon.toString>.

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your function :

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Weapon narsil = new Weapon("Narsil", 15);
        Weapon baguette = new Weapon("Baguette magique", 20);
        Weapon massue = new Weapon("Massue", 8);
        Monster troll = new Monster("Troll", 30,  massue);
        Sorcerer dumbledore = new Sorcerer("Dumbledore", 25, 5, baguette);
        Templar alistair = new Templar("Alistair", 18, 2, 3, narsil);

        Character.fight(alistair, troll);

        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner
