How to enter final game situation without replay.

Post by Edredon »

Hi!
After the games ends, is there any method to enter the table with final situation without using replay?
When my turn is last turn, or when I play real-time game there is no problem, as when the games end, I am on the final score board. But when games ends without me, I do not see the possibility to enter the game without using replay, which is very annoying for me.
So, is there any possibility to enter the table after games end without using replays?

At this time, no.

This is a result of the growth of this site. It was originally developed to be real-time only, so there was no need for functionality like that. Then turn-based was added, and replay was needed. This has been suggested before, and I think it is on the to-do list, but I also think it is not near the top of the list.

the functionality for the replay is already there for " Replay last moves ". i'm wondering if that functionality might not be extended for something like 3 days after the game finishes ?

so the code activated by the " Replay last moves " button could be included as a separate button option on the final summary page, and greys out after 3 days ?

this would mean the 'last turn' for all those games would have to be saved and stored on the servers for an additional 3 days, so i'm not sure how much impact that would have on the servers. if stats show that the vast majority of players are accessing that option in the first 24 hours after the game end, the timer on it can then be dropped.

I think what Edredon was asking was if there was a way to just jump to the final situation, without replaying the entire game. As far as I know, all game moves have been stored on the site for a very long time.

oh i know what he was asking for. the problem is that once a game is finished, the table is closed, and you only get back the summary page where the standard replay starts every game at turn #1. the list of moves for each game is indeed still being kept, but you currently can't start the replay with the final turn.

however, DURING a game, there is a button on the game log where you can replay the moves since your last play. THAT is the extra functionality that i would like to see as an additional option on the summary page (for a limited time period). this would also provide the endgame state info that the OP is looking for without replaying the entire game, only replaying the final turn since your last play. so, the coding for the last turn replay is available, but i'm not sure if that coding is still allowed to be executed on a game that is already completed.

Ah. I misunderstood. Yes, your solution would be nice to implement, and since it is an extension of existing functionality, instead of something new, would probably be easier to implement.

When a turn-based game ends you are sent an e-mail with a link to the final situation. This should get you to the point you are looking for without having to replay the entire game.

Well it doesn't, because this link starts a replay, do not show final situation without replay. Moreover usually it opens page not with last turn replay, but page with final score, statistics, propose rematch etc., without entering the game.
