startingInventory function

Inventory startingInventory()

What the player starts a game holding.

Here rather than as a field of the widget, which is where it was: the one test the application had could not reach it, so it built its own — and what it built was fists, a pistol and forty bullets against the game's four weapons and 90/30/12. "The crypt can be finished" was proved with equipment nobody is ever given.

A function rather than a constant because an Inventory is mutable and a run spends it: two levels sharing one object would be two levels sharing one health bar, which is right, and two runs sharing it would be a new game that starts where the last one died, which is not.

Implementation

Inventory startingInventory() => Inventory(
  arsenal: Arsenal(
    slots: Weapons.all,
    owned: <WeaponDef>[...Weapons.all],
    ammo: <AmmoType, int>{
      AmmoType.bullets: 90,
      AmmoType.shells: 30,
      AmmoType.rockets: 12,
    },
    // The pistol, not the fists: the game starts with both, and a shooter
    // that opens with your hands up is making a promise it does not keep.
    startingSlot: 1,
  ),
);
