  jurpe.combat.DualCombat

All Implemented Interfaces:

ICombat

public class DualCombat
extends java.lang.Object
implements ICombat

Class for combat between PCs. Every instance of DualCombat represents an entire combat, from the beginning to the end. Variabile "isAlive" check if current combat is still taking place. For instance, in a combat between JOE and JAK we will have:

 DualCombat combat = new DualCombat(Joe, Jak); // Joe vs. Jack
 
 
 

Remember to swap fighters at the end of every turn with combat.swapFighters()

allOutDefense

public boolean allOutDefense()

All Out Defense combat option.
"Defend yourself; do nothing else this turn. If you fail your defense roll against any attack, you may try another (different) defense". In this implementation, we arbitrarily choose to make a first roll with the active defense choosen by the character and the second one from dodging, blocking and parrying, in this order. Of course, if character has just one active defense available, he cannot make an All Out Defense. Parrying is considered unavailable if character wears an unbalanced weapon.
If character has only two active defenses available, he will have two rolls: the first one with the AD he choose, the second one with the other.
If character has three active defenses available, he will have two rolls: the first one with the AD he choose, the second one with blocking, or with dodging, if blocking is its first choose. (Beware: this is not a Jurpe Rule!). The All Out Defense Command is implemented as follows. When the command is issued, it sets BOTH active defenses for the fighter. When, during an attack (the next turn) the defenseFromAttack() method is called, a check is done. If fightee.getActiveDefenses returns an array of length=2 then the fightee chose All Out Defense in the turn before. The defenseFromAttack() method will then perform an All Out Defense for that character and, after that, will restore the ActiveDefenses to length=1.

Specified by:

allOutDefense in interface ICombat

Returns:

true if combat ends after this command
