Dear Clojurians, I'm currently wrapping my head around core.async and it seems really great to process events from various souces. However, I don't currently see how I could use it for my use case.
I want to make a kind of multiplayer action game with "combos" moves for sequences of input events (i.e. down, down+forward, forward, punch ) with : - timeout on each step of the would-be combo - combo chaining (i.e. a combo move can be followed by other specific combos only available after it) - combo breakers (events for outside -i.e. other player(s)- can interrupt/reset the sequence My current understanding would drive me to make matcher channel for each combo : - with a buffer of the size of the max combo length - reading from : - the player input stream - a control stream for combo breaker - using a timeout channel The input stream would be broadcast to all the combos matcher, and the select loop would alt! on all of them. However, this would : - perform greedy match of the shortest subsequence (I'd want the opposite : matching the longuest combo) - not handle combo chaining Should I really go back to a hand-written state machine ? I'm looking forward to any insights. Best Regards, B. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
