Explain problem: Argument of type 'Position' is not assignable to parameter of type 'BaseCharacterProps'. Property 'position' is missing in type 'Position' but required in type 'BaseCharacterProps'.

The issue "Argument of type 'Position' is not assignable to parameter of type 'BaseCharacterProps'. Property 'position' is missing in type 'Position' but required in type 'BaseCharacterProps'" is occurring because the Zombie4 class is extending BaseCharacter and the constructor of Zombie4 is missing the required property position from the BaseCharacterProps.

To resolve this, you need to make sure that the Zombie4 class constructor initializes the position property with the provided position parameter and passes it to the super call.

Here's how you can update the constructor of the Zombie4 class:

export class Zombie4 extends BaseCharacter {
  constructor(context: CanvasRenderingContext2D, actionType: ActionType, position: Position) {
    super(context, Zombie4Actions, actionType, { position }); // Ensure position is passed as an object
    // Load sprites for different animations
  }
}

By passing the position as an object to the super call, you ensure that the position property is correctly initialized in the BaseCharacterProps.

Is there a way that I can declare the ActionType so that I can use it like an enum as well as how I am already using it?

I get an error here:

 constructor(props: ITerminalGameProps) {
  super(props);
  this.state = {
   heroAction: ActionType.Run,
   heroPosition: { leftX: 75, topY: 20 },
   zombieAction: 'Walk',
   zombie4Position: { leftX: 30, topY: 0 },
   context: null as CanvasRenderingContext2D | null
  };
 }

I currently declare it like this:

export type Action = {
 animation: SpriteAnimation;
 dx: number;
 dy: number;
 continueous: boolean;
};

const ActionType = {
 Run: 'Run',
 Idle: 'Idle',
 Walk: 'Walk',
 Jump: 'Jump',
 Attack: 'Attack',
 Die: 'Die',
 Hurt: 'Hurt',
} as const;

export type ActionType = typeof ActionType[keyof typeof ActionType];

To use ActionType like an enum, you can change the declaration from a const object to an actual enum. This way, you can use ActionType.Run as you have tried in your constructor, which is the enum syntax.

Here's how you can declare ActionType as an enum:

export enum ActionType {
  Run = 'Run',
  Idle = 'Idle',
  Walk = 'Walk',
  Jump = 'Jump',
  Attack = 'Attack',
  Die = 'Die',
  Hurt = 'Hurt',
}

With this change, ActionType can be used as both a type and an enum value:

// Now ActionType can be used like an enum
this.state = {
  heroAction: ActionType.Run, // This will work with enum declaration
  // ...
};

Keep in mind that if you use ActionType as an enum, it's not a plain object anymore, so you can't use it in the same way as an object (e.g., ActionType['Run']). Enums in TypeScript are their own special structure that compiles to an object in JavaScript, but they have enhanced autocompletion and refactoring support in editors like VSCode.
