Send data from server to client. HOW!? !?

[Arxcis]

Siden vi har tenkt til å bare ha data liggende på serveren, så lurer jeg på hvordan vi skal klare å sende data fra serveren til klienten. Går det ann å returnere en dictinary i en post -request foreksempel? Jeg fant ikke noe om dette.

The server is already programmed to return a message to the game client. Study the collect_data function in flaskserver.py. When the data is collected, a list is sent back to the game client in return. What I would like to suggest is that we send a rank back to the player instead... something like... 'Your score for game level has reached number out of . So <if number 1> Congratulations! <elif in top 10> Well done you are in the Top 10. Keep it up.' We might need to add a to each score when we sort the scores. And to simplify, I think we should store all scores (not just high scores). I can't see any reason why one player can't monopolise all the top spots :) We could set a limit though, perhaps 100 scores to save on storage space. Let me know what you think.

I can see that all the bits placed between 'greater than' & 'less than' signs didn't get posted :( I'll try and do it again.

Again... Let's see if this works with parantheses.

You can send structured data like dictionaries, lists or objects by using json

Server-side:

Kan eg bruke flask.jsonify ? http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/api/#flask.json.jsonify

[Arxcis]

Client-side ?

http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#json-response-content

r = requests.get('127.0.0.1:5000/get-highscore', auth=('level'))

r.status_code = 200

r.json() = {u'jonas': 200, 'raglew': 199, ' Emil': 198}

Synes det er vanskelig, fordi en må bruke 2 forskjellige bibliotek, Flask og Requests, til å snakke sammen, over HTTP som er enda et slags bibliotek.. + JSON som er en enda en filtype. Mange ting på en gang :+1:

PS: Får eg bamsemums ?
