Minor bug in Hearts tutorial?

[2lt_yakutaro]

Hi all,
I just recently started learning BGA Studio; I was following the Hearts tutorial to the letter, but run into a problem at the end of step 6: "Game Interface JS Stock".
The problem: when I click on the card in the player's hand, I got a red "unauthorized move" warning in the window, instead of the expected output "on playCard 42" on the console.
I think it comes from a mismatch between this line in the tutorial:

Code: Select all

if (this.checkAction('actPlayCard', true)) {

and state 2 in states.inc.php, which has these two lines:

Code: Select all

"possibleactions" => array( "playCard", "pass" ),
"transitions" => array( "playCard" => 2, "pass" => 2 )

I got stuck on this for a while until I figured it out, so it's something to be aware of when following the tutorial.

On the tutorial I see the state with playCards as :

Code: Select all

    31 => array(
        "name" => "playerTurn",
        "description" => clienttranslate('${actplayer} must play a card'),
        "descriptionmyturn" => clienttranslate('${you} must play a card'),
        "type" => "activeplayer",
        "possibleactions" => array( "actPlayCard" ),
        "transitions" => array( "playCard" => 32 )
    ), 

Where did you see the bad writing? It should be actPlayCard, as you guessed.

The code in states.inc.php is from the template and does not model the state machine of the hearts tutorial:

Code: Select all

"possibleactions" => array( "playCard", "pass" ),
"transitions" => array( "playCard" => 2, "pass" => 2 )

Only later in the tutorial, they set up the state machine with the correct action name 'actPlayCard':

Code: Select all

"possibleactions" => array( "actPlayCard" ),
"transitions" => array( "playCard" => 32 )

I think it is an oversight that the tutorial assumes the correct state machine is already implemented during the "Game Interface JS Stock" section.
