  • I’m actually leaning toward this. I might have a class that holds a large unordered_map with a string key, where the value is actually a function which calls a constructor loaded with the defining data (a function so that I can create the map in an object or function without creating ALL the objects every time).

    Still, creating a huge unordered_map every time I just need one (or ten) items seems bulky. But there will be five maps, each with their own native items, so maybe I can break it up that way.

    I’m also concerned about using magic strings to access values. I wonder if I should make another unordered_map just to hold string values (something like [“BASTARD_SWORD”] = “bastard_sword”) so that I never write the string, I just write… the string to access the string… maybe silly and bulky.
