Day 10 — Drop/Pickup Completion & Inventory Model Redesign

Context

With the refactor complete, today focused on finishing the Drop/Pickup milestone and stabilizing the inventory architecture.

Drop & Pickup Completion

• I implemented the full priority-based tile selection for dropping items. If no valid adjacent tile is available, the system now displays a toast message to the player. Items can also be picked up and placed into the correct inventory slot.

Inventory Model Redesign

• I refactored the inventory data model to use explicit slot-based storage rather than a virtual stack count. Each slot now stores both an Item ID and Quantity. This ensures the UI, logic, and persistence layers stay tightly aligned.

Summary

What I accomplished:

• Completed the Drop/Pickup milestone.
• Rebuilt the inventory model using explicit slot-based storage.
• Added toast notifications for invalid drop attempts.

What I learned:

• Clear data ownership prevents subtle bugs.
• User feedback (like toasts) matters even in early builds.
