Let s users look at the final situation before switching to result

[Mistergos]

Hi there

I would like to let users look at the final situation before switching to result.
Currently, when the game is over. You still have few seconds to look at the final situation then you are automatically switch to the result/stat page.

As the game i am working on has all the result calculation details directly on the board, i made an animation to compute the scores. But the users do not have time to check all the scores sheet of all the users. So i would like to add a "confirmation" button on some sort before moving to BGA result page.

I DO NOT WANT an additional step in the game state to avoid blocking game with players that quit without confirming.

Any idea how to do that?

Thanks in advance

Cheers,

Mistergos

You shouldn't need to do this. In any game I've ever played, when the results/ELO etc are shown at the end they are on a 'tab' along with the final board situation - you can switch freely between the two. As long as the details that you want to show are on the game area itself (rather than a pop-up) you should be all right. Seven Wonders is a game which, IMO, does this quite well if you want an example.

Yes but no.

I am working on Trek12. The scoring is directly written on each individual sheet. Not a global summary array. When the last turn is reached, the bottom of the sheet is filled with result. But you need some time to realize and read yours + other sheets. You can of course get back using the tab "last position" but it is ennoying to start looking, being switch automatically, then click to go back.

So if a user can click on on OK button, or simply not being switch automatically, user experience would be better.

Well, that would be just as annoying to player that would want to see their ELO gain/loss immediately then.
Why not doing live scoring instead ?

It is a request from the publisher. Waiting for the end of the game to calculte and display final score

You could try something like that then, but I would strongly advise you to ask admins about it since it's not documented :

Code: Select all

onGameEnd(){
	this.addActionButton('gameEnd', 'Ok', () => this.inherited(arguments), null, false, 'blue');
}

Unfortunately, it prevents the final buttons to appear, but it does not prevent the switch onto final score tab.

Try with "switchToGameResults" instead
