Final Project: Jurassic Park Management System
Welcome to the Jurassic Park genetic laboratory! After a long journey through the world of JavaScript, it's time for the ultimate challenge. Dr. Henry Wu, the park's chief geneticist, entrusts you with creating a comprehensive management system that will oversee all aspects of the park's operation - from monitoring dinosaurs to managing visitor safety.
Project goal
Your task is to create an advanced JavaScript application that integrates all the technologies you've learned into one cohesive system. This will be your magnum opus - proof that you've mastered the art of JavaScript programming.
Functional requirements of the system
1. Dinosaur management system
Your system must enable:
1// Example dinosaur data structure
2const dinosaurSpecies = {
3 id: 'trex-001',
4 name: 'Tyrannosaurus Rex',
5 species: 'T-Rex',
6 genome: {
7 dnaSequence: '4A7B...9F2E', // DNA sequence
8 modifications: ['enhanced-strength', 'reduced-aggression'],
9 purity: 0.92, // 92% original DNA
10 gapsFilled: ['amphibian-dna', 'bird-dna']
11 },
12 physicalTraits: {
13 height: 5.6, // meters
14 weight: 8500, // kg
15 length: 12.8, // meters
16 age: 4, // years
17 healthStatus: 'excellent'
18 },
19 behavior: {
20 aggressionLevel: 7, // 1-10
21 intelligence: 8,
22 socialBehavior: 'territorial',
23 huntingPattern: 'ambush-predator'
24 },
25 habitat: {
26 enclosureId: 'sector-7',
27 temperature: { min: 18, max: 28, current: 24 },
28 humidity: { min: 60, max: 80, current: 72 },
29 terrainType: 'forest-plains'
30 },
31 status: 'active' // active, sedated, medical-care, quarantine
32};2. Security monitoring system
1// Security system structure
2const securitySystem = {
3 alerts: {
4 breach: false,
5 evacuation: false,
6 containmentFailure: false,
7 emergencyProtocol: false
8 },
9 sensors: [
10 {
11 id: 'fence-sensor-001',
12 type: 'perimeter',
13 location: 'sector-7-north',
14 status: 'operational',
15 lastReading: Date.now(),
16 voltage: 10000 // fence voltage in volts
17 },
18 {
19 id: 'motion-detector-034',
20 type: 'motion',
21 location: 'visitor-center',
22 status: 'operational',
23 sensitivity: 'high',
24 detectedMovement: false
25 }
26 ],
27 accessControl: {
28 keyCards: new Map(), // Card ID -> access level
29 restrictedAreas: ['genetic-lab', 'control-room', 'medical-bay'],
30 emergencyOverride: false
31 }
32};3. Visitor management system
1// Visitor management system
2class VisitorManagementSystem {
3 constructor() {
4 this.visitors = new Map();
5 this.tours = new Map();
6 this.emergencyContactList = [];
7 this.evacuationProcedures = [];
8 }
9
10 registerVisitor(visitorData) {
11 const visitor = {
12 id: this.generateVisitorId(),
13 personalData: {
14 name: visitorData.name,
15 age: visitorData.age,
16 emergencyContact: visitorData.emergencyContact,
17 medicalConditions: visitorData.medicalConditions || [],
18 insurancePolicy: visitorData.insurancePolicy
19 },
20 visit: {
21 arrivalTime: new Date(),
22 departureTime: null,
23 tourType: visitorData.tourType, // 'standard', 'vip', 'research'
24 groupId: visitorData.groupId,
25 currentLocation: 'entrance',
26 visitedAreas: ['entrance']
27 },
28 safety: {
29 waiverSigned: false,
30 briefingCompleted: false,
31 emergencyProtocolsExplained: false,
32 trackingDevice: null
33 }
34 };
35
36 this.visitors.set(visitor.id, visitor);
37 return visitor.id;
38 }
39
40 trackVisitorLocation(visitorId, newLocation) {
41 const visitor = this.visitors.get(visitorId);
42 if (visitor) {
43 visitor.visit.currentLocation = newLocation;
44 visitor.visit.visitedAreas.push(newLocation);
45 this.validateSafetyProtocols(visitor);
46 }
47 }
48}4. Genetic laboratory system
1// Genetic laboratory system
2class GeneticLaboratory {
3 constructor() {
4 this.dnaLibrary = new Map();
5 this.activeExperiments = [];
6 this.incubators = [];
7 this.sequencingMachines = [];
8 }
9
10 analyzeDNA(sampleId, dnaSequence) {
11 const analysis = {
12 sampleId,
13 sequenceLength: dnaSequence.length,
14 gcContent: this.calculateGCContent(dnaSequence),
15 mutations: this.detectMutations(dnaSequence),
16 viability: this.assessViability(dnaSequence),
17 recommendedModifications: [],

19 };
20
21 return analysis;
22 }
23
24 createNewSpecimen(parentDNA, modifications = []) {
25 const baseGenome = this.reconstructGenome(parentDNA);
26 const modifiedGenome = this.applyModifications(baseGenome, modifications);
27
28 const specimen = {

34 expectedHatchTime: this.calculateHatchTime(modifiedGenome),
35 parentSpecimens: [parentDNA.id]
36 };
37
38 return this.initiateIncubation(specimen);
39 }
40}Technical requirements
1. Application architecture
Your application must use:
- Module Pattern or ES6 Modules for code organization
- Observer Pattern for communication between components
- Factory Pattern for creating dinosaur and visitor objects
- Singleton Pattern for critical systems (security, main database)
1// Example of modular architecture
2// modules/ParkCore.js
3class ParkCore {
4 constructor() {
5 if (ParkCore.instance) {
6 return ParkCore.instance;
7 }
8
9 this.systems = {
10 security: new SecuritySystem(),
11 genetic: new GeneticLaboratory(),
12 visitors: new VisitorManagementSystem(),
13 dinosaurs: new DinosaurRegistry(),
14 weather: new WeatherMonitoring(),
15 power: new PowerGrid()
16 };
17
18 this.eventBus = new EventBus();
19 this.setupSystemCommunication();
20
21 ParkCore.instance = this;
22 }
23
24 setupSystemCommunication() {
25 // Communication between systems via event bus
26 this.eventBus.subscribe('security.breach', (data) => {
27 this.systems.visitors.initiateEvacuation(data.location);
28 this.systems.dinosaurs.activateContainmentProtocol();
29 });
30
31 this.eventBus.subscribe('dinosaur.escaped', (data) => {
32 this.systems.security.raiseAlert('containment-failure', data);
33 this.systems.visitors.redirectToSafeZones(data.dangerRadius);
34 });
35 }
36}2. Data management
1// Data management system with localStorage and IndexedDB
2class DataManager {
3 constructor() {
4 this.localDB = new LocalDatabase('park-data');
5 this.cache = new Map();
6 this.syncQueue = [];
7 }
8
9 async saveDinosaurData(dinosaur) {
10 try {
11 // Save to cache
12 this.cache.set(dinosaur.id, dinosaur);
13
14 // Save to localStorage as backup
15 localStorage.setItem(`dino_${dinosaur.id}`, JSON.stringify(dinosaur));
16
17 // Save to IndexedDB for larger data
18 await this.localDB.store('dinosaurs', dinosaur);
19
20 // Add to synchronization queue with server
21 this.queueForSync('dinosaurs', dinosaur.id, 'update');
22
23 } catch (error) {
24 console.error('Error saving dinosaur data:', error);
25 throw new DataError('Failed to save dinosaur data');
26 }
27 }
28
29 async loadParkState() {
30 try {
31 const [dinosaurs, visitors, security] = await Promise.all([
32 this.localDB.getAll('dinosaurs'),
33 this.localDB.getAll('visitors'),
34 this.localDB.get('security', 'current-state')
35 ]);
36
37 return {
38 dinosaurs: dinosaurs || [],
39 visitors: visitors || [],
40 security: security || this.getDefaultSecurityState()
41 };
42 } catch (error) {
43 console.error('Error loading park state:', error);
44 return this.getEmergencyFallbackState();
45 }
46 }
47}3. User interface
Your system must include:
- Main dashboard with an overview of all systems
- Dinosaur panel with a list, details, and management capabilities
- Security monitor with alerts and system status
- Visitor panel with a list of active tours
- Genetic laboratory with DNA analysis tools
- Reporting system with charts and statistics
1// User interface example
2class ParkInterface {
3 constructor(parkCore) {
4 this.park = parkCore;
5 this.currentView = 'dashboard';
6 this.refreshInterval = null;
7 this.setupEventListeners();

2class EmergencyResponseSystem {
3 constructor(parkCore) {
4 this.park = parkCore;
5 this.emergencyLevel = 0; // 0-5, where 5 is the highest
6 this.activeProtocols = [];
7 this.evacuationRoutes = this.loadEvacuationRoutes();
8 }
9
10 handleEmergency(type, severity, location, additionalData = {}) {
11 const emergency = {
12 id: this.generateEmergencyId(),
13 type, // 'containment-breach', 'power-failure', 'weather-emergency', 'medical'
14 severity, // 1-5
15 location,
16 timestamp: new Date(),
17 status: 'active',
18 data: additionalData
19 };

38
39 return emergency.id;
40 }
41
42 handleContainmentBreach(emergency) {
43 const { location, data } = emergency;
44
45 // 1. Immediate lockdown of affected sector
46 this.park.systems.security.lockdownSector(location);
47
48 // 2. Activate evacuation protocol for visitors in the danger zone
49 const dangerZone = this.calculateDangerZone(location, data.dinosaurType);

51
52 // 3. Deploy response team
53 this.deployResponseTeam('containment', location, data);

60 });
61
62 // 5. Automatic safety protocols
63 this.activateEmergencyProtocol('Code Red - Containment Breach');
64 }
65}Advanced features
