Detailed Description

Immutable static data representing a card type.

CardDefinition defines the core identity and behavior of a card:

• Unique ID and display name
• Base damage, armor, and cost values
• Ordered list of effects to apply when the card is played

CardDefinitions are created once at startup and shared across all matches. They do not contain any runtime state or combat logic.

Effects are owned by the definition and used to build CardInstances at runtime.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CardDefinition()

CardDefinition::CardDefinition	(	std::string_view	cardId,
		std::string_view	cardName,
		std::string_view	cardDescription,
		const CardParams &	cardParams = {},
		std::vector< std::unique_ptr< Effect > >	effectList = {},
		int	baseCost = 1
	)

Constructs a new CardDefinition with provided base values and effects.

Parameters

cardId	Unique identifier for the card (used internally).
cardName	Human-readable name for display purposes.
baseDamage	Default damage value for the card.
baseArmor	Default armor value for the card.
effectList	Ordered list of effects applied when the card is played.
baseCost	Default cost to play the card (1).

~CardDefinition()

CardDefinition::~CardDefinition ( )

default

Destructor (default).

Member Function Documentation

getBaseArmor()

int CardDefinition::getBaseArmor ( ) const

inline

Returns the base armor value defined for the card.

getBaseCost()

int CardDefinition::getBaseCost ( ) const

inline

Returns the base energy cost to play the card.

getBaseDamage()

int CardDefinition::getBaseDamage ( ) const

inline

Returns the base damage value defined for the card.

getCardParams()

const CardParams & CardDefinition::getCardParams ( ) const

inline

Returns the parameters of the card.

getDescription()

std::string_view CardDefinition::getDescription ( ) const

inline

getEffectList()

const std::vector< std::unique_ptr< Effect > > & CardDefinition::getEffectList ( ) const

inline

Returns a const reference to the list of effects.

Effects are applied in the order they appear in this list. Each effect is owned by this definition and reused by all instances.

getID()

std::string_view CardDefinition::getID ( ) const

inline

Returns the internal ID of the card.

getName()

std::string_view CardDefinition::getName ( ) const

inline

Returns the display name of the card.
