Multiple Active Player - examples

[RichardSPeters]

Noob Question

Have gone through the two tutorials (Hearts and Reversi) and all good there. Am now trying to get my head around how the state type of ‘MULTIPLE_ACTIVE_PLAYER” works vs GAME.

Extending the Hearts tutorial so that we have the MULTIPLE_ACTIVE_PLAYER which would then handle the case of all players passing X cards to the left/right/etc…. – thats all fine and am fairly sure I understand that.

What I am looking at is the scenarios where it seems to be a mix of GAME and MULTIPLE_ACTIVE_PLAYER i.e. during the active players turn and (1) before they do anything and/or (2) after they do something and there turn concludes other players have the ability to react.

Can anybody point me in the direction of games implemented on BGA that match either or both scenarios (1) and (2) AND are developed using the latest version of the framework?

Thanks - Richard

A state can only ever have 1 state type, you don't get a mix.
GAME are like transitional states to do some general maintenance. You'll only ever go into a game state to then pass directly out of it. Normal examples will be end of turn, start of a round kind of thing.
The other 2 states are either a multi or a single PLAYER state where the actions take place.It's possible to go directly from one player state to another.

Actually a state can have several types if you really want to (I did that to avoid duplicating a private state and an activeplayer state). You'll likely rarely need that though

Apologies - just realised I use GAME when I should have used ACTIVE_PLAYER and confused things.

My question in a nutsell is... "is it possible to identify which players turn it is when the state is MULTIPLE_ACTIVE_PLAYER? - and if so then how?"
