I think you should expand this answer. I don't think you have really explained your "simple reason" very well: what do you mean by "transcendental", why is goodness transcendental but not smelliness, and why does it matter to the argument?

i don't see anything wrong with what he's saying, but like i say, my java is bad

yeah i am reading it now

also my java is extremely limited

sorry man, i looked, but i don't think i am on the level to help you, i work in games where in general the style of development is a bit different, so you would never have a ModelConverterFactory in the first place.

i always value KISS because code that is the simplest possible solution is easy to change

haha, well i am spending a great deal of my time untangling abstractions recently

cool

just wanted it on the record that's all

i think it's up to the op to change accepted answer or voters or just leave it

as in basically don't do anything lol

well honestly I think @Ilmari Karonen's answer is the best

the OP was worried about DRY but in this case i think KISS is the more important value

it's that 1+ and the sqrt which seems suspicious to me

yeah no problem

to me even the fact that attack & defence are the same seems like a fluke

the abstraction is only worth doing if the method of calculation is always going to be the same

which to me is obviously not going to be right

you're assuming that hitpoints would be (1 + level + (sum of equipment)) * Math.sqrt(level)

not assuming anything like that

basically if you check out the original code there is no way that for example HITPOINTS would work in that scenario, in fact, almost nothing else would fit

cool

also: hi there

so is this public? i have never used this system before.
