How to detect "has current player won" using JavaScript only.

[JonChambers]

Surely I must be missing something. I've been going through all the docs, all the game data, all of everything, and cannot figure it out...

In javascript, is there a quick and simple way of writing:

Code: Select all

if(i_have_won_the_game){
    //do something
}

Of course it's easy if I get PHP involved, but can working out whether or not the current player has won be solved with pure javascript?

Hi
No, you should use a specific state for this that will trigger the JS code

Just in case I didn't make it clear, the game state is "gameEnd". Looking for something that differentiates a game I just won from a game I just lost. It's definitely clear that it's a game I just finished.

Just outputing state args in the onEnteringState function. I think you should figured it out from here.

Code: Select all

Entering state: gameEnd 
Object { id: 99, active_player: 2322020, args: {…}, type: "manager", reflexion: {…}, name: "gameEnd", description: "End of game", action: "stGameEnd" }
	action: "stGameEnd"
	active_player: 2322020
	args: Object { table: {…}, result: (2) […] }
		result: Array [ {…}, {…} ]
			0: Object { name: "Tisaac0", color: "7b7b7b", score: "-14", … }
			1: Object { name: "Tisaac1", color: "ff0000", score: "-20", … }
​​​		table: Object { concede: false, disagreement: false, neutralized: "0", … }
​​​		concede: false
		disagreement: false
		neutralized: "0"
​​​		stats: Object { 1: 2, 2: -17, 3: "-14" }
​​​	description: "End of game"
​	id: 99
​	name: "gameEnd"
	type: "manager"

Okay, so it wasn’t a stupid question.

My solution is simpler than that, and it still works even if the page is reloaded. Thanks anyway.

Simpler than getting the highest score of the two players in the js ??
These are also sent in getAllDatas by framework, so you really don't have to do anything more than that.

The highest score of the two players is not in JavaScript. The need for the client to know the score never came up. And I’m not going to create a client side scoring system just for that one issue.

What are you talking about ?? The BGA framework already do that for you, that's the little stars right next the player names. They get automatically initialized with the value from the DB that is send in getAllDatas without you having to do anyting.
You can access basic player infos by using this.gamedatas.players

You need more than player's score, in case of a tie

I'm talking about exactly what you think. I've read the documentation too. I know exactly how to do everything you suggested. But I won't.

Partly because it's a couple of lines longer, but more because the score doesn't get involved until the last second (1 for winner, 0 for loser) and I want to avoid displaying said score to the player as much as possible. I know veteran players know what 0 stars mean, but for me it's just clutter. Dash-star isn't much better, but it's a mild improvement.

Also, my solution is slightly shorter.
