The game constructor will be called each and every time the game class will be instantiated, so pretty much whenever a player will make a request to the back end. Thank you! I have a lot of experience with php, yet I've been incorrectly imagining that with BGA, game.php is running constantly on the...

One thing for me that's challenging is understanding what is happening in the BGA Studio framework outside of my code. I'm basically writing plug-ins and call-backs, but the main program is BGA Studio, and despite the pretty good doc I don't fully understand what happens exactly when in the flow. I ...

Hi guys, I tried this with my friends tonight and I just ran away with the game using the military option. Seems like there are too many high powered planets and developments available to the military player, and there is no cost to having military, you don't spend it. Maybe a rebalancing is in orde...

I'm also new, but just a little bit further down the road. There may be other, better ways. It will take some time to learn the framework, so give yourself small goals and take your time. :) Everything is done using multiple files. This takes a while to get used to.

If you posted your db sql for creating the table, creating the pieces, and retrieving the pieces that would be helpful. Otherwise we don't have much to go on. Are you using getObjectFromDB or getCollectionFromDb? The only thing about the SQL that kind of jumped out at me was ...pieces.player_id id,....

I'm just getting started, but here's how I'd do it. The general flow would be like this. At the beginning of the state, on the server side, you will need to figure out what actions are possible for the player. In the server side arguments function for the state, send the list of what is possible now...

Dear BGA Studio wizards,

It sounds like this is solved! Very glad to hear it.

Maybe you could change the name of the ticket (showing at the top of the news feed) as Resolved?

I keep seeing it and thinking there might still be a problem.

Thanks, Brian

I'm new too and still learning a lot. I've found going into the dev tools on the browser (Ctl-Shift-I) and adding debugging output to the javascript console and alerts to be very helpful. console.log(var); console.log("testing"); alert("var="+var); There are further suggestions h...
