Turn the Crank

Back on my Work Item Loop for another iteration, I’ve added some items to my breadcrumbs. But, I think I’ve got a little different direction I need to go in first.

Visible Functionality

The problem is that there isn’t any visible functionality yet. So, I’m going to basically copy the logic from our last test, where an Entity is remove from play due to being targeted by another Entity, into Watcher in the Program.cs. Then, I’m going to do some work so that dotnet run -p .\Watcher\Watcher.csproj does something more interesting than just displaying:

Hello World! Welcome to Utopia: The Tutorial

So, adding some flavor text to my methods like this…

        public Entity GetEntity(int lastEntityId)
        {
            var newEntityId = ++lastEntityId;
            Console.WriteLine($"Entity {newEntityId.ToString()} has entered play!");            
            return new Entity(){
                Id = newEntityId
            };
        }

        public void TargetEntity(Entity originEntity, Entity targetEntity)
        {
            var removeEntityId = targetEntity.Id;
            Console.WriteLine($"Entity {removeEntityId.ToString()} has been removed from play!");
            _unv.entities.Remove(removeEntityId);
        }

I can now get some slightly more interesting output.

Hello World! Welcome to Utopia: The Tutorial
Entity 1 has entered play!
Entity 2 has entered play!
Entity 2 has been removed from play!

It’s not much, but it’s a start and it’s visible! Now for a dotnet test and a git push before I start to do some more coding.
