-- | How much AI benefits from applying the effect.
-- The first component is benefit when applied to self, the second
-- is benefit (preferably negative) when applied to enemy (via melee).
-- This represents benefit from using the effect every @avgItemDelay@ turns,
-- so if the item is not durable, the value is adjusted down elsewhere.
-- The benefit includes the drawback of having to use the actor's turn,
-- except when there is battle and item is a weapon and so there is usually
-- nothing better to do than to melee, or when the actor is stuck or idle
-- or laying in wait or luring an enemy from a safe distance.
-- So there is less than @averageTurnValue@ included in each benefit,
-- so in case when turn is not spent, e.g, periodic activation or conditions,
-- the difference in value is only slight.

averageTurnValue :: Double

-- Average delay between desired item uses. Some items are best activated
-- every turn, e.g., healing (but still, on average, the activation would be
-- useless some of the time, namely when HP is at max, which is rare,
-- or when some combat boost is already lasting, which is probably also rare).
-- However, e.g., for detection, activating every few turns is enough.
-- Also, sometimes actor has many activable items, so he doesn't want to use
-- the less powerful ones as often as when they are alone.
-- For weapons, it depends. Sometimes a weapon with disorienting effect
-- should be used once every couple of turns and stronger raw damage
-- weapons all the remaining time. In other cases a single weapon
-- with a devastating effect would ideally be available each turn.
-- We don't want to undervalue rarely used items with long timeouts
-- and we think that most interesting gameplay comes from alternating
-- item use, so we arbitrarily set the full value timeout to 3.
avgItemDelay :: Double
avgItemDelay = 3
-- The average time between consumable item being found
-- (and enough skill obtained to use it) and the item
-- not being worth using any more. We specifically ignore
-- item not being used any more, because it is not durable and is consumed.
-- However we do consider actor mortality (especially common for spawners)
-- and item contending with many other very different but valuable items
-- that all vie for the same turn needed to activate them (especially common
-- for non-spawners). Another reason is item getting obsolete or duplicated,
-- by finding a strictly better item or an identical item.
-- The @avgItemLife@ constant only makes sense for items with non-periodic
-- effects, because the effects' benefit is not cumulated
-- by just placing them in equipment and they cost a turn to activate.
-- We set the value to 30, assuming if the actor finds an item, then he is
-- most likely at an unlooted level, so he will find more loot soon,
-- or he is in a battle, so he will die soon (or win even more loot).
avgItemLife :: Double
avgItemLife = 30
-- The value of durable item is this many times higher than non-durable,
-- because the item will on average be activated this many times
-- before it stops being used.
durabilityMult :: Double
durabilityMult = avgItemLife / avgItemDelay
-- We assume the organ is temporary (@Fragile@ and @Periodic@)
-- and also that it doesn't provide any functionality,
-- e.g., detection or raw damage. However, we take into account effects
-- knowing in some temporary organs, e.g., poison or regeneration,
-- they are triggered at each item copy destruction. They are applied to self,
-- hence we take the self component of valuation. We multiply by the count
-- of created/dropped organs, because for conditions it determines
-- how many times the effect is applied, before the last copy expires.
--
-- The temporary organs are not durable nor in infnite copies, so to give
-- continous benefit, organ has to be recreated each @turnTimer@ turns.
-- Creation takes a turn, so incurs @averageTurnValue@ cost.
-- That's how the lack of durability impacts their value, not via
-- @durabilityMult@, which however may be applied to organ creating item.
-- So, on average, maintaining the organ costs @averageTurnValue/turnTimer@.
-- So, if an item lasts @averageTurnValue@ and can be created at will, it's
-- almost as valuable as permanent. This makes sense even if the item creating
-- the organ is not durable, but the timer is huge. One may think the lack
-- of durability should be offset by the timer, but remember that average
-- item life @avgItemLife@ is rather low, so either a new item will be found
-- soon and so the long timer doesn't matter or the actor will die
-- or the gameplay context will change (e.g., out of battle) and so the effect
-- will no longer be useful.
--
-- When considering the effects, we just use their standard valuation,
-- despite them not using up actor's turn to be applied each turn,
-- because, similarly as for periodic items, we don't control when they
-- are applied and we can't stop/restart them.
--
-- We assume, only one of the timer and count mechanisms is present at once
-- (@count@ or @turnTimer@ is 1).
-- We assume no organ has effect that drops its group or creates its group;
-- otherwise we'd loop.

-- The value of aspect bonus is supposed to be, roughly, the benefit
-- of having that bonus on actor for one turn (as if equipping didn't cost
-- any time). Comparing or adding this value later on to the benefit of one-time
-- applying the item makes sense, especially if the item is durable,
-- but even if not, as lont as I have many items relative to equipment slots.
-- If I have scarcity of items, the value should be higher, because if I apply
-- a non-durable item, it no longer benefits me, but if I wear it,
-- it can benefit me next turn also. The time cost of equipping balances this
-- to some extent, just as @durabilityMult@ and the equipment slot limit.
--
-- Value of aspects and effects is linked by some deep economic principles
-- which I'm unfortunately ignorant of. E.g., average weapon hits for 5HP,
-- so it's worth 50 per turn, so that should also be the worth per turn
-- of equpping a sword oil that doubles damage via @AddHurtMelee@.
-- Which almost matches up, since 100% effective oil is worth 100.
-- Perhaps oil is worth double (despite cap, etc.), because it's addictive
-- and raw weapon damage is not; so oil stays and old weapons get trashed.
-- However, using the weapon in combat costs 100 (the value of extra
-- battle turn). However, one turn per turn is almost free, because something
-- has to be done to move the time forward. If the oil required wasting a turn
-- to affect next strike, then we'd have two turns per turn, so the cost
-- would be real and 100% oil would not have any significant good or bad effect
-- any more, but 200% oil (if not for the cap) would still be worth it.
--
-- Anyway, that suggests that the current scaling of effect vs aspect values
-- is reasonable. What is even more important is consistency among aspects
-- so that, e.g., a shield or a torch is never equipped by AI, but oil lamp is.
-- Valuation of effects, and more precisely, more the signs than absolute
-- values, ensures that both shield and torch get auto-picked up so that
-- the human player can nevertheless equip them in very special cases.

-- We ignore the rare case of a periodic item kept in stash
-- to be applied manually. AI is too silly to choose it and we
-- certainly don't want AI to destroy periodic items out of silliness.
-- We don't assign a special bonus or malus due to being periodic,
-- because periodic items are bad in that one can't
-- activate them at will and they take equipment space,
-- and good in that one saves a turn, not having
-- to manually activate them. Additionally, no weapon can be periodic,
-- because damage would be applied to the fighter, so a large class
-- of items with timeout is excluded from the consideration.
-- Generally, periodic seems more helpful on items with low timeout
-- and obviously beneficial effects, e.g., frequent periodic healing
-- or nearby detection is better, but infrequent periodic teleportation
-- or harmful outward explosion is worse. But the rule is not strict
-- and also dependent on gameplay context of the moment,

-- or fled, so some effects are no longer useful (but 1 HP gain is).
-- To balance all that, we consider a square root of timeout
-- and assume we need to spend turn on other actions at least every other
