Betting Stage

[lcox74]

After the race entry has been open for 10 seconds it will close and display the entrants for the race. This is the "betting" phase, where other users can place bets on the entrants to win rewards. This phase lasts for 30 seconds and will display a drop down form of the entrants and how much to bet on (5g, 10g, 20g) as defaults. By selecting the form you can make multiple bets, but you can't undo a bet.

• [x] Switch to betting stage from Open stage after 10 seconds
• [x] Close the race after 30 seconds of Betting stage (no no-bets flag)
• [x] If there is less than 4 snails, create random snails to add to the race (no dont-fill flag)
• [x] Display UI select component and 3 buttons (5g, 10g, 20g) for placing bets
• [x] Store the bets in the race state and log once Betting stage is over

Listing Entrants

The race message must include a list of the racing snails (along with their owner). It is very important to also include the Odds for each snail as well, this should be calculated using the following formula:

def snailOdds(snail Snail, entrants Snail[]): float
    # Calculate modifier from normalized stats
    norm_speed = snail.speed / sum([snail.speed for snail in entrants])
    norm_stamina = snail.stamina / sum([snail.stamina for snail in entrants])
    stat_mod = 1.0 - (norm_speed + norm_stamina)

    # Check the snail's win history
    win_rate = 1.0
    if snail.wins > 0:
        win_rate = 1.0 - (snail.wins / snail.races)
            if win_rate == 0:
                return 10.0 * stat_mod

    return 10.0 * win_rate * stat_mod

• [x] List of the entrants with their respected owners
• [x] The list should be a numbered list, where the number is the position the snail on the race board
• [x] Calculate and display the snails odds

Flags

In this stage it's also very important to handle 2 of the flags when hosting:

• [x] no-bets: When this is set the betting phase doesn't include any betting UI or information (odds should still be shown). The phase will also be shorter, down to 10 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
• [x] dont-fill: If this is set, then additional snails will not be added to the race when there is less than 4 snails.

After the 10 seconds of the Race: Open stage, the message changes to the following:

I haven't handled the no-bets or dont-fill flags. I also havent handled snail odds.

I've decided to use the modal to allow the user to submit how much they want to bet. It needs some rework but it looks like the following:

I didn't like the modal and went back to the 3 buttons (5g, 10g, 20g)
