Proposal: Include game browsing page

Details:
Sidebar link to the page, shows all games in a sequential list at the moment, but will eventually have search capability, and links direct to games, etc.

Page shows all games in the DB, with all relevant information on game style etc, and also links to the user who created the game.

Join game button is in and functioning.
  • Adds the player to the game
  • Marks the game as 'Waiting for start' if the last slot is filled


Feel free to join the existing games guys. It will still be a little while before they are ready to commence, but you may as well get in there now :)

An amazing fucking thing just happened. I coded up the Drop Game button, and I didn't have to debug a single line of code. I think this is the first time any programmer anywhere ever has written flawless code lol.

Yeah anyhow, Drop Button is in:
  • Drops the player from the game, and sets the game to "Recruiting"
  • Drops the game altogether if that is the only player in the game

FEEDBACK REQUIRED

Should the Browse Games page incorporate every single feature of the games database in it?

What I'm envisaging is this - on the Game Browser page, have a popup in-window window (like the chat window in the old Game Page). In that popup, have the standard game options in there to narrow down the search, but also have these options (tickable):

    Option A
  • Recruiting
  • Waiting to commence
  • Playing
  • Finished

    Option B - able to include yourself and 3 other players
  • My games
  • Player Xs games
  • Player Ys games
  • Player Zs games

This means that when you enter that page you can search all public games, other peoples games, your own games, games of a specific type, and also games of a certain status (recruiting, etc). With all of these options in, there shouldn't be a need for any other pages. Also, if there are hotlinks up the top that do auto-searches, such as My Games Playing, or My Games Waiting to Commence, then the interface should be a convenient all-in-one page for games.

Thoughts?

I like it, will probably make it very easy to search for things. Especially now that you can custom name your games.

Minor bugfix to do with maximum players in the game and whether or not the join game button showed up.

Clicking on the mini-map next to a game now jumps the player to the game itself.

Basic features really, I saw them as essential for people finding their games. Last of the features I'm putting in until I get the code cleaned up. The past two weeks has seen me jury rig a heap of code together, and I've doubled up on a lot of code unnecessarily, as well as write some real ugly code. Once it's cleaned up, I'll get game winning in, then probably scoring, then random deploys, cards, and hopefully some more maps :)

Cheers mate. Internet should be on at home in a week or so, then we'll see a lot of rapid coding changes. It's been tough coding just at work or at friends places, no time to crack a beer when I'm befuddled by code hehe

Fixed. It's just part of me porting functions to an include PHP file, hadn't updated the function name yet. You must have caught it in a 10 minute outage window lol
