Code: GirlList

(I'm breaking these up by class to try and avoid Blogger lagging like it did yesterday)

It seems to me that everything I describe in this blog turns out at least three times as complicated when I write it all down than it was when it was in my head. For this reason, I'm reluctant to say that GirlList is simple and straight forward. I mean, I think it is, but I'm afraid if I say so, I'll invoke Murphy.

Anyway....

class GirlList

    def initialize
        @list = Array.new
    end

    def add(actor)
        @list.push(actor)
    end

    def do_shift(shift_id)
        @list.each { |x|
            x.do_shift(shift_id)
        }
    end
end

It's basically a wrapper around an array. Method to initialise the array, one to add girls, and one to evaluate each girl's performance in a shift.  I changed do_turn to do_shift at this level, as mentioned earlier, and I may yet lower the granularity further. But this'll do for now.

Why not just have an array? I'm not sure I have a good reason, except that I often find it's good to have an explicit list class. It gives me room to add processing when a girl is added or removed, for instance.

mmm... looks like this one really was that simple.
