Exercises

In this chapter, we’ve explored the functional programming concepts of currying and partial application. Now, let’s apply these techniques to practical scenarios in a mobile tower defense game.

Exercise 1

Refactor the AttackEnemy function using currying, allowing the towerType to be preset for multiple uses throughout the game while accepting dynamic inputs for enemyId and damage:

public void AttackEnemy(TowerTypes towerType, int enemyId, int damage)
{
   Console.WriteLine($"Tower {towerType} attacks enemy {enemyId} for {damage} damage.");
}

Exercise 2

Apply partial application to create a function for quick setup of standard game settings where the map is predefined but allows for dynamic setting of difficultyLevel and isMultiplayer:

public void SetGameSettings(string map, int difficultyLevel, bool isMultiplayer)
{
   Console.WriteLine($"Setting game on map {map} with difficulty {difficultyLevel...
