Multiplayer Card Game using WebSockets,Java Netty Server ,Cocos2d-x-HTML5 - Part 5

Game Server Source code overview

 Tutorial Source code :

https://github.com/meiry/multiplayer_cocos2dx-js_using_netty_websockets

Now we are close to the point which we return with WebSocket response the new game states to the clients , but what are those "Game states" ?
it can be represented in many ways but in our case which is super simple the states will be kepet
in 2 levels .

First level is global game state and all things that are relevant to the general game like:
How many players are in the game
What is the scoring status
Who is the winner
How many cards left in the middle card deck

Second level of states are the ones that relevant to the players
Each player has several states , the states are updated during the game .

Player.java

This is the class that represent the player and the player states
Only the important code is explained all the rest of the code are getters and setter to the members
of The Player Class.

public class Player { private final static Logger LOG = LoggerManager.GetLogger(GameServerMain.class.getName()); private LinkedList<String> PlayerCards; private String userName; private int Event; //Session channel private Channel channel; //Player Json massage private String playerJson; //the player which is active and has the turn private int activeplayerid; private int id; private String activecardid; private int registertionNum; private int winner; private String winnercards; private String deckcard; //mark the end game the value will be the winner id private int endgame; public Player() { this.channel = null; Init(); } public Player(Channel _channel) { this.channel = _channel; Init(); }

1. Line 3 : the cards that were dealt to the player , which are the half of the total cards in the page
2. Line 4 : player user name.
3. Line 5 : player event , the current event that the player is in.
4. Line 7 : each player will hold the Netty channel in which it used to communicate from the client . this channel will be used to inform back to the client the state of the palyers and the state of the game.
5. Line 9 : the json string that is constructed during the process of playing the game in the server , this json will be the one that used to send back to the player client .
6. Line 11 : the id of the player that is currently active , that means the one that is playing its turn
7. Line 12 : player unique id.
8. Line 13 : the card that is played now 
9. Line 14 : the order of which the player registered , this way it will be determined the player turn. 
10. Line 15 : mark as winner of this game
11. Line 16 : save the winner cards in this global game turn the format is:
    currentPlayerCardId+"_"+ prevCardId
12. Line 17 : the card which is now on the middle card deck.
13. Line 19 : Id of the player that win the game
14. Lines 25 - 29 : Player Constructure that gets the player channel instance
    This channel instance will be used to communicate with the client .

GameResponseDispatcher.java

This class is responsible to build the JSON object that will be send back to the clients that are associated with this game .
The class have 2 main response functions as you remember we have 2 main events in the game
LOGIN and PLAY.
so the class will handle the response to the LOGIN event  :ResponseDispatcheLoginDone
and to the PLAY event : ResponseDispatchePlayDone

1. Lines 24 - 49 : Build the response back to the other players about the result of the LOGIN event, the other players will be notified
   about the new player login and also will be receiving the new player data .
   the response event in our super simple game will be with LOGIN_DONE.
2. Lines 51 -53 : Build the response for the current player . in this case the current player will be
   notified about the other players state if any .
3. Lines 74 -102 : Build the response back to the other players about the result of the Play event.
   new Event will be send back depending on the Game Play in our Super simple game
   it will return PLAY_DONE event.
4. Lines 104 - 106 : Build the response for the current player . in this case the current player will be notified about the other players state if any with PLAY_DONE event .
5. Lines 110 - 125 : Helper function to convert Player data to JSON object.

Now its time to do the Cocos2d-x client code review in the next port:
