Lesson 6: Object-Oriented Programming

Activity 23: Creating Game Characters

1. Create a Character class that has a public method moveTo that prints Moved to position:

   class Character {
     public:
       void moveTo(Position newPosition) {
         position = newPosition;
         std::cout << “Moved to position “ << newPosition.positionIdentifier << std::endl;
       }
     private:
       Position position;
   };

2. Create a struct named Position:

   struct Position {
     // Fields to describe the position go here
     std::string positionIdentifier;
   };

3. Create two classes Hero and Enemy that are derived from the class Character:

   // Hero inherits publicly from Character: it has
   // all the public member of the Character class.
   class Hero : public Character {
   
   };
   
   // Enemy inherits publicly from Character, like Hero
   class Enemy : public Character {
   
   };

4. Create a class Spell with the constructor that prints the name of the person casting the spell:

   class Spell {
   public:
       Spell(std::string name) : d_name(name) {}
   ...
