Two references to "Round"

[jimenezj8]

There are currently two distinct ideas we reference as a "Round":

1. A logical idea of a segment of a Game
2. A set of rules that define constraints on players' behaviors and scoring

I'd like to semantically distinguish between the two to ensure clarity in the project code.

Proposal

1. Name the segment of a Game GameRound
2. Name the set of rules that define the GameRound, BlottoRound

GameRound

• Ties instances of BlottoRounds to a particular Game instance
• Has the following attributes:
  • id: the ID number that will be used to reference that unique round in the DB
  • library_id: the ID number that will be used to tie the BlottoRound characteristics to the particular instance
  • game_id: the ID of the Game instance to which this GameRound is tied
  • start_time: the timestamp when the round rules are released to participants
  • end_time: the timestamp when the round submission window closes
  • soldiers: the number of soldiers available to participants in this round
  • fields: the number of fields available to participants in this round

BlottoRound

• Metaclass for all GameRound instances
• Defines the constraints/rules of a GameRound instance
• Implements functions to assist with administration of a GameRound
• Translates to and from instances of GameRound for the application

At the very least, rename id attribute on Round model to library_id
