Overview

This class models rules that convert numbers shown on a die to values used in a game. A common use for this is to count “successes” - dice that score a certain number or higher.

An object of the class represents a single rule, such as “count a die result of 5 or more as 1 success”.

Examples:

A rule for counting successes

rule = GamesDice::MapRule.new( 6, :<=, 1, 'Success' )
# Test how the rule applies . . .
rule.map_from 4   # => nil
rule.map_from 6   # => 1

A rule for counting “fumbles” which reduce total successes

rule = GamesDice::MapRule.new( 1, :==, -1, 'Fumble' )
# Test how the rule applies . . .
rule.map_from 7   # => nil
rule.map_from 1   # => -1

Constructor Details

#initialize(trigger_value, trigger_op, mapped_value = 0, mapped_name = '') ⇒ GamesDice::MapRule

Creates new instance of GamesDice::MapRule. The rule will be assessed as

trigger_value.send( trigger_op, x )

where x is the Integer value shown on a die.

Parameters:

  • trigger_value (Integer, Range<Integer>, Object) —

    Any object is allowed, but typically an Integer

  • trigger_op (Symbol) —

    A method of trigger_value that takes an Integer param and returns Boolean

  • mapped_value (Integer) (defaults to: 0) —

    The value to use in place of the trigger value

  • mapped_name (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Name of mapped value, for use in descriptions

Raises:

  • (TypeError)

Instance Method Details

#map_from(test_value) ⇒ Integer?

Assesses the rule against a die result value.

Parameters:

  • test_value (Integer) —

Returns:

  • (Integer, nil) —

    Replacement value, or nil if this rule doesn’t apply
