How to detect game end

[disu]

Hi,
when my game finished I push a notification to players and make some changes to their game page.
But, if a player refresh the page, I don't know how to detect the game end status in getAllDatas to make the same graphic changes.

Sorry I know it is written somewhere in this bunch of docs pages but I didn't find it

onEnteringState will still be runned with the state "endgame" so you can put your code there

I am able to retrieve from DB infos to show if player refresh page after game end. And it works well.
But I did it overriding argGameEnd function (for state 99) and padding as argument the data read from DB. Something like this:

Code: Select all

function argGameEnd()
{
     $players = $this->gameManager->getPlayers(true);
     return array(
         'players' => $players
     );
}

But in the documentation it is discouraged the overriding of system argGameEnd function (and also in the Victoria_La tests, into developer dashboard). So how can I do in another way?

Put it in getAllDatas

Put it in getAllDatas

I've already supposed to put in getAllDatas in my first post. But if I put here how can I check if the game is finished?

You can check the current game state. It will be 99 if the game is over.

It was so obvious
I didn't use the function for check current state yet. Thanks!

i have a simular "problem".
I modify the state of the board (to get visual representation of the game) and after that check endgame.
When i look at the board in the gaestate object it does not hold the latest data, but when i refresh the page the last state is indeed the gameEndState.
How can i make sure the state of the "board" that i added to the getAllDatas function is updated after each state change?

I use this in getAllDatas :
$isEndScore = intval($this->gamestate->state_id()) >= ST_END_SCORE;

I use this in getAllDatas :
$isEndScore = intval($this->gamestate->state_id()) >= ST_END_SCORE;

Wouldnt that be dangereous if you use state with ids > 100 ?
