GameState api for Board class

[afiodorov]

Board class implements update() method which receives an instance of gameState class.

GameState class:

var GameState = function() {};
gameState = new GameState();
gameState.mySide = "light" | "dark";
gameState.stage = "start" | "move" | "battle" | "finish";
gameState.light.pieces = [{name: "gandalf", position: [2,2]}, ... ];
/* names ommited */
gameState.dark.pieces = [{position: [2,2]}, ... ];
gameState.turn = "light" | "dark";

I'd suggest having a main game state, the whole one that the server stores, and functions to turn the gameState into a side specific one. (see below) gameState = { turn: side.light | side.dark, stage: stage.start | stage.move | stage.battle | stage.finish, pieces: [{name: "gandalf", position: [2,1]}, ...] } lightState { turn: side.light | side.dark, stage: stage.start | stage.move | stage.battle | stage.finish, friendlyPieces: [{name: "gandalf", position: [2,1]}, ...], enemyPieces: [[2,1],[0,0]] } Same for dark.

no quite the same, but on master in models/utils/gameutils.js

/**

• @param {string} stateJsonServer Json of server game state representation
• @param {string} playerSid session id of the player for the client state
• @return {string} game state json for the client */ function getClientStateJson(stateJsonServer, playerSid) {

gameState = { turn: side.light | side.dark, stage: stage.start | stage.move | stage.battle | stage.finish, pieces: [{name: "gandalf", position: {row:2, col:1}}, ...] } lightState { turn: side.light | side.dark, stage: stage.start | stage.move | stage.battle | stage.finish, friendlyPieces: [{name: "gandalf", position: {row: 2,col:1 } }, ...], enemyPieces: [{position:{row:2, col:1}}, {position:{row:0,col:0}},...] }
