// Demonstrates a few ways to achieve OOP with JavaScript

// Solution 1
function playerCreator(name, score) {
  var newPlayer = Object.create(playerFunctionStore);
  newPlayer.name = name;
  newPlayer.score = score;
  return newPlayer;
}

var playerFunctionStore = {
  getName: function() {
    return this.name;
  },
  increment: function() {
    return this.score++;
  }
};

var player1 = playerCreator('Jeffrey', 3);
player1.increment();

// console.log(player1);
// console.log(player1.__proto__);


// Solution 2

function playerCreator(name, score) {
  this.name = name;
  this.score = score;
}

playerCreator.prototype.getName = function() {
  return this.name;
};

playerCreator.prototype.increment = function() {
  return this.score++;
};

var player2 = new playerCreator('Jason', 4);
player2.increment();

// console.log(player2);
// console.log(player2.__proto__);
