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) {}
