[Adventurer] Perilous Passage

The Mountain level Perilous Passage is ready for testing!

This level demonstrates property assignment and eventually will build off of a series of levels teaching about peasant building.

Two new concepts at the same time in this level. Learning new things is definitely desired, but might be confusing at the stage. Even I (being a CC “veteran”) was a bit “surprised” by these:

  • assigning a new property to an existing object:
    friend["startPos"] = {"x": xPos, "y": yPos} and enemy["accountedFor"] = True

  • identifying a friend via the enemy:
    friend = enemy.findNearest(friends) – it’s usually done the other way: enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
    BTW, why not use enemy.findNearestEnemy()?

Otherwise a very well done level, with useful new concepts! :smile: Like it! :+1:

Don’t forget that might not to work in the real Python. Except for the object inherit Dict (or something similar).

Can you post your full code? This sounds like an issue with Esper, so it’d be useful if we had more code.

can you help me with basic JS ?

                // Command the friend to build a firetrap
                // at the midpoint between them and enemy.

I don’t know how to do it.
In some cases you need add to x or y, in another to substract

So succeed I wrote a function


function midPosFromEnemy(war) {
    var poos = {};
    if (war.pos.x < 40) {
        poos.x = 23;
    } else {
        poos.x = 62;
    }
    if (war.pos.y < 36) {
        poos.y = 18;
    } else {
        poos.y = 56;
    }
    return poos;
}

it’s work but not caclulate middle position

The middle point between two numbers is the two numbers added together divided by 2.

So: What is between 1 and 3? (1 + 3) / 2 = 2.

This same principle applies to 2-dimensions (and up)

What’s the point between (1, 4) and (2, 5)? ((1 + 2) / 2, (4 + 5) / 2) = (1.5, 4.5)

A very good level (teaching assigning properties to an object), not played more than a year, not visible on the mountain map, and surprise - not subscribers only!
Gain some reward

Thanks for finding that, I really enjoyed that level. And it’s shown me how to give something a .something property, which I’ve always wanted to do.
