Design Patterns - Decorator Pattern

Sunday, June 29, 2008

Following up on the Observer/Event Pattern, it’s time for the third pattern, the Decorator Pattern.

The definition: "Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality."

Hi,

Nice example. Although I thought it was slightly confusing by BuildingLaser being above BuildingUpgradeDecorator, but that is probably me missing the direction of the generalisation.

Also the IBuilding label is missing from the Normal Building.... Your other site mentions it though! :)
