Package io.artificial.enchantments.api.scaling

Class ExponentialScaling

java.lang.Object
io.artificial.enchantments.api.scaling.ExponentialScaling
All Implemented Interfaces:
LevelScaling
public final class ExponentialScaling extends Object implements LevelScaling
Exponential scaling algorithm: base * multiplier^(level - 1).

This scaling pattern produces values that grow by a percentage each level, rather than by a constant amount. Use with caution at high levels as values can grow rapidly and may become unbalanced.

Formula: value = base * multiplier^(level - 1)

Example: A multiplier of 1.2 means each level is 20% stronger than the previous: base=1.0, multiplier=1.2 produces values 1.0, 1.2, 1.44, 1.73, etc.

Since:
0.1.0

  • Constructor Details

    • ExponentialScaling

      public ExponentialScaling(double base, double multiplier)
      Creates a new exponential scaling with the specified base and multiplier.
      Parameters:
      base - the value at level 1
      multiplier - the growth factor per level (must be positive, 1.0 = no growth)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if multiplier is not positive

  • Method Details

    • calculate

      public double calculate(int level)
      Description copied from interface: LevelScaling
      Calculates the scaled value for a given enchantment level.
      Specified by:
      calculate in interface LevelScaling
      Parameters:
      level - the enchantment level (>= 1)
      Returns:
      the calculated value

    • getBase

      public double getBase()
      Gets the base value at level 1.
      Returns:
      the base value
      Since:
      0.1.0

    • getMultiplier

      public double getMultiplier()
      Gets the multiplier applied per level.
      Returns:
      the multiplier value
      Since:
      0.1.0
