Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Code: Select all

public void resolve() {
player.discard();
player.drawCard();
}

• extend the Input for discarding a card so that, during its custom resolution method {selectCard i think}, call super's version of selectCard, then draw the card.
• use the MagicStack. push a draw action/trigger/whatever, then immediately push the discard action. this is fairly elegant, but it violates atomicity/inseverability/indivisibility of the card's resolution. either player could respond after the discard, before the draw. i don't think that's supposed to happen.
• i seem to recall some references to an Input stack. this is an Input stack, not a MagicStack.
  does it work? if it is supported, perhaps you could push a dummy Input for drawing a card that calls its own selectX method from showMessage, then push the one for discarding. then they resolve in reverse order.

a thunk is a function that takes no arguments.

What, did Dr. Suess have a hand in designing Java?

In fact, according to the inventors, it was coined after they realised (in the wee hours after hours of discussion) that the type of an argument in ALGOL 60 could be figured out in advance with a little compile-time thought, simplifying the evaluation machinery. In other words, it had "already been thought of"; thus it was christened a "thunk", which is "the past tense of "think" at two in the morning".
