In index.php, the 3 battle types are hard-coded right in the HTML.
0:12
So what happens if we decide to add a fourth battle type to BattleManager?
0:17
No problem. Add a new constant, then update the battle method logic for whatever cool thing this new type does.
0:26
But surprise, if we forget to also add the new type to index.php then nobody’s going to be able to use it.
0:34
Really, I’d prefer BattleManager to be completely in charge of the battle types
0:39
so that it’s the only file I need to touch when something changes.
0:44
To do that, create a new function in BattleManager that will return all the types and their descriptions.
0:51
Call it public function getAllBattleTypesWithDescription.
0:58
Here return an array with the type as the key
1:01
and the description that should be used in the dropdown as the value.
