Ticker

model.Ticker

See theTicker companion object

case class Ticker(currentTick: Double, targetFramerate: Double, slotInterval: Double, rouletteInterval: Double, blackjackInterval: Double, spawnInterval: Double)

Manages timing and scheduling for different simulation events and game types.

The Ticker provides a centralized timing system that coordinates when different game types should process rounds and when customer spawning should occur. It converts time intervals specified in seconds to tick-based scheduling using the target framerate, ensuring consistent timing regardless of actual frame rates.

Each game type can have its own update frequency, allowing for realistic timing where slot machines might update more frequently than roulette games, which take longer to complete a round in real casinos.

Value parameters

blackjackInterval: time in seconds between blackjack rounds
currentTick: the current simulation tick counter
rouletteInterval: time in seconds between roulette rounds
slotInterval: time in seconds between slot machine rounds
spawnInterval: time in seconds between customer spawning events
targetFramerate: the desired frames per second for the simulation

Concrete methods

Calculates the tick interval for blackjack updates.

Attributes

Returns: number of ticks between blackjack rounds

Checks if a specific game type is ready to process its next round.

Uses modulo arithmetic to determine if the current tick aligns with the game's scheduled update interval. This ensures games update at their intended frequencies regardless of the overall simulation speed.

Value parameters

gameType: the type of game to check

Attributes

Returns: true if the game should process a round on this tick

Checks if the simulation is ready to spawn new customers.

Attributes

Returns: true if customers should be spawned on this tick

Calculates the tick interval for roulette updates.

Attributes

Returns: number of ticks between roulette rounds

Calculates the tick interval for slot machine updates.

Attributes

Returns: number of ticks between slot machine rounds

Calculates the tick interval for customer spawning.

Attributes

Returns: number of ticks between spawning events

Advances the ticker by one simulation tick.

Attributes

Returns: new Ticker instance with incremented tick counter

Creates a new Ticker with a specific current tick value.

Useful for resetting the simulation time or jumping to a specific point in the simulation timeline.

Value parameters

currentTick: the new current tick value

Attributes

Returns: new Ticker instance with updated tick counter

Creates a new Ticker with an updated target framerate.

Changing the framerate affects all tick calculations, allowing for dynamic adjustment of simulation speed while maintaining consistent timing relationships between different game types.

Value parameters

newFramerate: the new target frames per second

Attributes

Returns: new Ticker instance with updated framerate

Creates a new Ticker with updated spawn timing.

Allows dynamic adjustment of customer spawning frequency by specifying the desired number of ticks between spawn events.

Value parameters

noTicks: the desired number of ticks between spawning events

Attributes

Returns: new Ticker instance with updated spawn interval
