Plants vs Zombies help

[eternal wagon]

Hi. So basically I have this project of Plants vs Zombies using OOP concepts and i'm having trouble with how to go about it.
They gave us this UML diagram but i really can't understand what to do with this e.g the PlantFactory Class

I would start with creating the base classes: Zombie, Plant, as well as Time and Scoreboard

[eternal wagon]

yes but i can't seem to figure out the how

As for the Factory classes, those are part of the factory design pattern: https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/factory-method/cpp/example#:~:text=Factory Method in C%2B%2B,constructor call ( new operator).

As for how to create classes, learncpp.com can walk you through it (that is the first site)

[eternal wagon]

no no i mean

i know how to create classes and everything

but what attributes or functions i should add

that is what i'm stuck at

Honestly, the UML diagram doesn't show that, so either check the assignment, talk to the professor, or just go by instinct of what you think you'll need

[eternal wagon]

what would you reccomend?

[astral stream]

Probably just make the skeleton for now, without any members (or ones that make sense); and then talk to the professor about how to proceed, since I don't know the specifics of the assignment, so I can't really give much more guidance than that

Which one is your problem?

• You can't think of what data and methods to put in the classes
• You don't know how to define a class

[eternal wagon]

the first one
