adjustStatsForWork (
        stats,
        unitsOfWork,
        lastAdjustmentTime,
        )

If appropriate, adjusts stats for gained progress, or lack thereof.

After a specific amount of time passes, each stat is compared to the units of work performed during that period of time. Depending on how much work has been done relative to the stat value, the stat may increase by a point, stay the same, or decrease by a point. This method takes care of performing the necessary calculations and making any needed stat adjustments. The given unitsOfWork and lastAdjustmentTime will also be reset appropriately if adjustments are made.

Note that it's always safe to invoke this method. Adjustments will be made only if appropriate.

arguments:

stats

(hash) the stat hashmap to normalize. keys are stats constants and values are ints

unitsOfWork

(hash) same setup as the stats argument

lastAdjustedTime

(int) the last adjusted time tick

Public methods

normalizeStatValues ( stats )

Guarantees that each stat value in the given stat value is legal.

Each stat value must be between STAT_MIN and STAT_MAX, inclusive. If any value is less than STAT_MIN, then it will be set to STAT_MIN. Likewise, if any value is greater than STAT_MAX, then it will be set to STAT_MAX. Both constants can be found in the mudlib.constants module.
