Study Notes
Zombie Factory Overview
- The Zombie Factory is a project that builds an army of zombies, maintaining a database of all created zombies.
- The factory has a function for creating new zombies.
Zombie Characteristics
- Each zombie has a random and unique appearance.
- A zombie's appearance is based on its "Zombie DNA", a 16-digit integer.
Zombie DNA Structure
- The first 2 digits of the Zombie DNA map to the zombie's head type.
- The second 2 digits map to the zombie's eyes.
- Different parts of the Zombie DNA number correspond to different traits.
Head Type Mapping
- The zombie's head type is determined by the first 2 digits of the Zombie DNA using the formula: (2-digit value) % 7 + 1.
- The result of the formula corresponds to one of the 7 possible head types.
- In the example, the first 2 digits "83" map to the 7th head type (the Santa hat).
