Detailed Description

The main KDE game object.

The KGame class is the central game object. A game basically consists of following features:

Player handling (add, remove,...)
Game status (end,start,pause,...)
load/save
Move (and message) handling
nextPlayer and gameOver()
Network connection (for KGameNetwork)

Example:

KGame *game=new KGame;

KGame

The main KDE game object.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ KGamePlayerList

typedef QList<KPlayer *> KGame::KGamePlayerList

Definition at line 51 of file kgame.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ GamePolicy

enum KGame::GamePolicy

The policy of the property.

This can be PolicyClean (setVale uses send), PolicyDirty (setValue uses changeValue) or PolicyLocal (setValue uses setLocal).

A "clean" policy means that the property is always the same on every client. This is achieved by calling send which actually changes the value only when the message from the MessageServer is received.

A "dirty" policy means that as soon as setValue is called the property is changed immediately. And additionally sent over network. This can sometimes lead to bugs as the other clients do not immediately have the same value. For more information see changeValue.

PolicyLocal means that a KGameProperty behaves like ever "normal" variable. Whenever setValue is called (e.g. using "=") the value of the property is changes immediately without sending it over network. You might want to use this if you are sure that all clients set the property at the same time.

Definition at line 74 of file kgame.h.

◆ GameStatus

enum KGame::GameStatus

Game status - Use this to Control the game flow.

The KGame e.g. sets the status to Pause when you have less player than the minimum amount

Definition at line 98 of file kgame.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KGame()

KGame::KGame	(	int	cookie = 42,
		QObject *	parent = nullptr )

explicit

Create a KGame object.

The cookie is used to identify your game in load/save and network operations. Change this between games.

Definition at line 60 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ ~KGame()

KGame::~KGame ( )

override

Destructs the game.

Definition at line 90 of file kgame.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ activatePlayer()

bool KGame::activatePlayer ( KPlayer * player )

sends activate player: internal use only?

Definition at line 552 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ addPlayer()

bool KGame::addPlayer ( KPlayer * newplayer )

Note that KPlayer::save must be implemented properly, as well as KPlayer::rtti This will only send a message to all clients.

The player is not added directly! See also playerInput which will be called as soon as the player really has been added.

Note that an added player will first get into a "queue" and won't be in the game. It will be added to the game as soon as systemAddPlayer is called what will happen as soon as IdAddPlayer is received.

Note: you probably want to connect to signalPlayerJoinedGame for further initialization!

Parameters

newplayer The player you want to add. KGame will send a message to all clients and add the player using systemAddPlayer

Definition at line 365 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ addProperty()

bool KGame::addProperty ( KGamePropertyBase * data )

docu: see KPlayer

Definition at line 1240 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ createPlayer()

KPlayer * KGame::createPlayer	(	int	rtti,
		int	io,
		bool	isvirtual )

virtual

This virtual function is called if the KGame needs to create a new player.

This happens only over a network and with load/save. Doing nothing will create a default KPlayer. If you want to have your own player you have to create one with the given rtti here. Note: If your game uses a player class derived from KPlayer you MUST override this function and create your player here. Otherwise the game will crash. Example:

KPlayer *MyGame::createPlayer(int rtti,int io,bool isvirtual)
{
  KPlayer *player=new MyPlayer;
  if (!isvirtual) // network player ?
  {
    // Define something like this to add the IO modules
    createIO(player,(KGameIO::IOMode)io);
  }
  return player;
  }

Parameters

rtti	is the type of the player (0 means default KPlayer)
io	is the 'or'ed rtti of the KGameIO's
isvirtual	true if player is virtual

Definition at line 308 of file kgame.cpp.

Definition at line 622 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ load() [1/2]

bool KGame::load	(	const QString &	filename,
		bool	reset = true )

virtual

Same as above function but with different parameters.

Parameters

filename	- the filename of the file to be opened
reset	- shall the game be reset before loading

Returns: true?

Definition at line 130 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ load() [2/2]

bool KGame::load	(	QDataStream &	stream,
		bool	reset = true )

virtual

Load a saved game, from file OR network.

This function has to be overwritten or you need to connect to the load signal if you have game data other than KGameProperty. For file load you should reset() the game before any load attempt to make sure you load into an clear state.

Parameters

stream	a data stream where you can stream the game from
reset	- shall the game be reset before loading

Returns: true?

Definition at line 145 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ loadgame()

bool KGame::loadgame	(	QDataStream &	stream,
		bool	network,
		bool	reset )

protectedvirtual

Internal. Warning: loadgame must not rely that all players all already activated. Actually the network will activate a player AFTER the loadgame only. This is not true anymore. But be careful anyway.

Parameters

stream	a data stream where you can stream the game from
network	is it a network call -> make players virtual
reset	shall the game be reset before loading

Returns: true?

Definition at line 150 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ loadPlayer()

stream	is the stream to save the player to
isvirtual	will set the virtual flag true/false

Definition at line 313 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ maxPlayers()

int KGame::maxPlayers ( ) const

What is the maximal number of players?

Returns: maximal number of players

Definition at line 607 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ minPlayers()

uint KGame::minPlayers ( ) const

What is the minimal number of players?

Returns: minimal number of players

Definition at line 602 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ negotiateNetworkGame()

void KGame::negotiateNetworkGame ( quint32 clientID )

protectedvirtual

This member function will transmit e.g.

all players to that client, as well as all properties of these players (at least if they have been added by KPlayer::addProperty) so that the client will finally have the same status as the master. You want to overwrite this function if you expand KGame by any properties which have to be known by all clients.

Only the ADMIN is allowed to call this.

Parameters

clientID The ID of the message client which has connected

Definition at line 1190 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ networkTransmission()

void KGame::networkTransmission	(	QDataStream &	stream,
		int	msgid,
		quint32	receiver,
		quint32	sender,
		quint32	clientID )

overridevirtual

This will either forward an incoming message to a specified player (see KPlayer::networkTransmission) or handle the message directly (e.g.

if msgif==IdRemovePlayer it will remove the (in the stream) specified player). If both is not possible (i.e. the message is user specified data) the signal signalNetworkData is emitted.

This emits signalMessageUpdate before doing anything with the message. You can use this signal when you want to be notified about an update/change.

Parameters

msgid	Specifies the kind of the message. See messages.txt for further information
stream	The message that is being sent
receiver	The is of the player this message is for. 0 For broadcast.
sender
clientID	the client from which we received the transmission - hardly used

Implements KGameNetwork.

Definition at line 744 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ newPlayersJoin()

virtual void KGame::newPlayersJoin	(	KGamePlayerList *	oldplayer,
		KGamePlayerList *	newplayer,
		QList< int > &	inactivate )

inlineprotectedvirtual

This virtual function can be overwritten for your own player management.

It is called when a new game connects to an existing network game or to the network master. In case you do not want all players of both games to be present in the new network game, you can deactivate players here. This is of particular importance if you have a game with fixed number of player like e.g. chess. A network connect needs to disable one player of each game to make sense.

Not overwriting this function will activate a default behaviour which will deactivate players until the maxPlayers() number is reached according to the KPlayer::networkPriority() value. Players with a low value will be kicked out first. With equal priority players of the new client will leave first. This means, not setting this value and not overwriting this function will never allow a chess game to add client players!!! On the other hand setting one player of each game to a networkPriorty of say 10, already does most of the work for you.

The parameters of this function are the playerlist of the network game, which is playerList(). The second argument is the player list of the new client who wants to join and the third argument serves as return parameter. All player ID's which are written into this list will be removed from the created game. You do this by an

inactivate.append(player->id());

Parameters

oldplayer	- the list of the network players
newplayer	- the list of the client players
inactivate	- the value list of ids to be deactivated

Definition at line 698 of file kgame.h.

◆ playerCount()

uint KGame::playerCount ( ) const

Returns how many players are plugged into the game.

Returns: number of players

Definition at line 612 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ playerDeleted()

void KGame::playerDeleted ( KPlayer * player )

Called by the destructor of KPlayer to remove itself from the game.

Definition at line 435 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ playerInput()

virtual bool KGame::playerInput	(	QDataStream &	msg,
		KPlayer *	player )

protectedpure virtual

A player input occurred.

This is the most important function as the given message will contain the current move made by the given player. Note that you HAVE to overwrite this function. Otherwise your game makes no sense at all. Generally you have to return TRUE in this function. Only then the game sequence is proceeded by calling playerInputFinished which in turn will check for game over or the next player However, if you have a delayed move, because you e.g. move a card or a piece you want to return FALSE to pause the game sequence and then manually call playerInputFinished to resume it. Example:

bool MyClass::playerInput(QDataStream &msg,KPlayer *player)
{
  qint32 move;
  msg >>  move;
  qDebug() << "  Player" << player->id() << "moved to" << move;
  return true;
}

Parameters

msg	the move message
player	the player who did the move

Returns: true - input ready, false: input manual

◆ playerInputFinished()

KPlayer * KGame::playerInputFinished ( KPlayer * player )

protected

Called after the player input is processed by the game.

Here the checks for game over and nextPlayer (in the case of turn base games) are processed. Call this manually if you have a delayed move, i.e. your playerInput function returns FALSE. If it returns true you need not do anything here.

Returns: the current player

Definition at line 692 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ playerList() [1/2]

KGame::KGamePlayerList * KGame::playerList ( )

Returns a list of all active players.

Returns: the list of players

Definition at line 642 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ playerList() [2/2]

const KGame::KGamePlayerList * KGame::playerList ( ) const

The same as playerList but returns a const pointer.

Definition at line 647 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ policy()

KGame::GamePolicy KGame::policy ( ) const

Returns: The default policy of the property

Definition at line 1268 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ removePlayer()

◆ signalClientJoinedGame

void KGame::signalClientJoinedGame	(	quint32	clientid,
		KGame *	me )

signal

Is emitted after a client is successfully connected to the game.

The client id is the id of the new game client. An easy way to check whether that's us is

if (clientid==gameid()) .. // we joined

else ... // someone joined the game

Parameters

clientid	- The id of the new client
me	- our game pointer

◆ signalClientLeftGame

void KGame::signalClientLeftGame	(	int	clientID,
		int	oldgamestatus,
		KGame *	me )

signal

This signal is emitted after a network partner left the game (either by a broken connection or voluntarily).

All changes to the network players have already be done. If there are not enough players left, the game might have been paused. To check this you get the old gamestatus before the disconnection as argument here. The id of the client who left the game allows to distinguish who left the game. If it is 0, the server disconnected and you were a client which has been switched back to local play. You can use this signal to, e.g. set some menus back to local player when they were network before.

Parameters

clientID	- 0:server left, otherwise the client who left
oldgamestatus	- the gamestatus before the loss
me	- our game pointer

◆ signalGameOver

void KGame::signalGameOver	(	int	status,
		KPlayer *	current,
		KGame *	me )

signal

Is emitted after a call to gameOver() returns a non zero return code.

This code is forwarded to this signal as 'status'.

Parameters

status	the return code of gameOver()
current	the player who did the last move
me	a pointer to the KGame object

◆ signalLoad

void KGame::signalLoad ( QDataStream & stream )

signal

The game will be loaded from the given stream.

Load from here the data which is NOT a game or player property. It is not necessary to use this signal for a full property game.

Parameters

stream the load stream

◆ signalLoadError

void KGame::signalLoadError	(	QDataStream &	stream,
		bool	network,
		int	cookie,
		bool &	result )

signal

Is emitted if a game with a different version cookie is loaded.

Normally this should result in an error. But maybe you do support loading of older game versions. Here would be a good place to do a conversion.

Parameters

stream	- the load stream
network	- true if this is a network connect. False for load game
cookie	- the saved cookie. It differs from KGame::cookie()
result	- set this to true if you managed to load the game

◆ signalLoadPrePlayers

void KGame::signalLoadPrePlayers ( QDataStream & stream )

signal

The game will be loaded from the given stream.

Load from here the data which is NOT a game or player property. It is not necessary to use this signal for a full property game.

This signal is emitted before the players are loaded by KGame. See also signalLoad

You must load exactly the same data from the stream that you have saved in signalSavePrePlayers. Otherwise player loading will not work anymore.

Parameters

stream the load stream

◆ signalMessageUpdate

void KGame::signalMessageUpdate	(	int	msgid,
		quint32	receiver,
		quint32	sender )

signal

We got an network message.

this can be used to notify us that something changed. What changed can be seen in the message id. Whether this is the best possible method to do this is unclear...

◆ signalNetworkData

void KGame::signalNetworkData	(	int	msgid,
		const QByteArray &	buffer,
		quint32	receiver,
		quint32	sender )

signal

We got an user defined update message.

This is usually done by a sendData in a inherited KGame Object which defines its own methods and has to synchronize them over the network. Reaction to this is usually a call to a KGame function.

◆ signalPlayerJoinedGame

void KGame::signalPlayerJoinedGame ( KPlayer * player )

signal

a player joined the game

Parameters

player the player who joined the game

◆ signalPlayerLeftGame

void KGame::signalPlayerLeftGame ( KPlayer * player )

signal

a player left the game because of a broken connection or so!

Note that when this signal is emitted the player is not part of playerList anymore but the pointer is still valid. You should do some final cleanups here since the player is usually deleted after the signal is emitted.

Parameters

player the player who left the game

◆ signalPropertyChanged

void KGame::signalPropertyChanged	(	KGamePropertyBase *	property,
		KGame *	me )

signal

This signal is emitted if a player property changes its value and the property is set to notify this change.

◆ signalReplacePlayerIO

void KGame::signalReplacePlayerIO	(	KPlayer *	player,
		bool *	remove )

signal

When a client disconnects from the game usually all players from that client are removed.

But if you use completely the KGame structure you probably don't want this. You just want to replace the KGameIO of the (human) player by a computer KGameIO. So this player continues game but is from this point on controlled by the computer.

You achieve this by connecting to this signal. It is emitted as soon as a client disconnects on all other clients. Make sure to add a new KGameIO only once! you might want to use isAdmin for this. If you added a new KGameIO set *remove=false otherwise the player is completely removed.

Parameters

player	The player that is about to be removed. Add your new KGameIO here - but only on one client!
remove	Set this to FALSE if you don't want this player to be removed completely.

◆ signalSave

void KGame::signalSave ( QDataStream & stream )

signal

The game will be saved to the given stream.

Fill this with data which is NOT a game or player property. It is not necessary to use this signal for a full property game.

Parameters

stream the save stream

◆ signalSavePrePlayers

void KGame::signalSavePrePlayers ( QDataStream & stream )

signal

The game will be saved to the given stream.

Fill this with data which is NOT a game or player property. It is not necessary to use this signal for a full property game.

This signal is emitted before the players are saved by KGame. See also signalSave

If you can choose between signalSavePrePlayers and signalSave then better use signalSave

Parameters

stream the save stream

◆ slotClientConnected

void KGame::slotClientConnected ( quint32 clientId )

protectedslot

Calls negotiateNetworkGame() See KGameNetwork::signalClientConnected.

Definition at line 1076 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ slotClientDisconnected

void KGame::slotClientDisconnected	(	quint32	clientId,
		bool	broken )

protectedslot

This slot is called whenever the connection to a client is lost (ie the signal KGameNetwork::signalClientDisconnected is emitted) and will remove the players from that client.

Parameters

clientId	The client the connection has been lost to
broken	(ignore this - not used)

Definition at line 1142 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ slotServerDisconnected

void KGame::slotServerDisconnected ( )

protectedslot

This slot is called whenever the connection to the server is lost (ie the signal KGameNetwork::signalConnectionBroken is emitted) and will switch to local game mode.

Definition at line 1083 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ systemActivatePlayer()

bool KGame::systemActivatePlayer ( KPlayer * player )

protected

activates player.

Use activatePlayer instead!

Definition at line 568 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ systemAddPlayer()

bool KGame::systemAddPlayer ( KPlayer * newplayer )

protected

Adds a player to the game.

Use addPlayer to send KGameMessage::IdAddPlayer. As soon as this Id is received this function is called, where the player (see KPlayer::rtti) is added as well as its properties (see KPlayer::save and KPlayer::load)

This method calls the overloaded systemAddPlayer with the created player as argument. That method will really add the player. If you need to do some changes to your newly added player just connect to signalPlayerJoinedGame Finally adds a player to the game and therefore to the list.

Definition at line 407 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ systemInactivatePlayer()

bool KGame::systemInactivatePlayer ( KPlayer * player )

protected

inactivates player.

Use inactivatePlayer instead!

Definition at line 528 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ systemPlayerInput()

bool KGame::systemPlayerInput	(	QDataStream &	msg,
		KPlayer *	player,
		quint32	sender = 0 )

virtual

Called when a player input arrives from KMessageServer.

Calls prepareNext (using QTimer::singleShot) if gameOver() returns 0. This function should normally not be used outside KGame. It could be made non-virtual,protected in a later version. At the moment it is a virtual function to give you more control over KGame.

For documentation see playerInput.

Definition at line 668 of file kgame.cpp.

◆ systemRemovePlayer()

void KGame::systemRemovePlayer	(	KPlayer *	player,
		bool	deleteit )

protected

Removes a player from the game.

Use removePlayer to send KGameMessage::IdRemovePlayer. As soon as this Id is received systemRemovePlayer is called and the player is removed directly.

Definition at line 470 of file kgame.cpp.
