A short review:
I'd give this a rating of 4.1/5, with some points taken off due to originality of the concept (-0.3), and functional libraries which are quite dated and might have more modern replacements (-0.6).
Spell:
Thematically, the Magic Stream shows an abject perspective on the essence of magic as a force of innate chaos. Nothing that can be done with magic can be predicted, and the spell delivers on that. Still, I find the concept behind the spell a bit wanting at its' core, as it tacks in multiple base spells in order to give off a nuanced feel.
Code:
static method MagicStream.chainJump- Inside the FoG loop, GroupClear can be replaced with a break statement. In the case of normal vJASS, it's
exitwhen true
- Inside the FoG loop, GroupClear can be replaced with a break statement. In the case of normal vJASS, it's
method MagicStream.singleEffect
- Unless it's intentional,
this.questHandleappears to be an auxiliary part of the spell. If it is intentional, the option of letting users decide on how to display the upgraded ability notification should be given, and should not be solely based on BJDebugMsg.
- Unless it's intentional,
- (Suggestion only) The function names in the library should follow the FunctionCase convention. At the moment, it can be confusing to discern whether something is a function or a method.
I'd give this a rating of 4.1/5, with some points taken off due to originality of the concept (-0.3), and functional libraries which are quite dated and might have more modern replacements (-0.6).
