Detailed Description

KGameIO variant for real-time games.

The KGameComputerIO class. It is used to create a LOCAL computer player and communicate transparently with it. Question: Is this needed or is it overwritten anyway for a real game?

You most probably don't want to use this if you want to design a turn based game/player. You'll rather use KGameIO directly, i.e. subclass it yourself. You just need to use KGameIO::signalPrepareTurn and/or KGameIO::notifyTurn there.

This is rather meant to be of use in real time games.

Member Function Documentation

advance

void KGameComputerIO::advance ( )

virtualslot

Works kind of similar to QCanvas::advance.

Increase the internal advance counter. If reactionPeriod is reached the counter is set back to 0 and signalReaction is emitted. This is when the player is meant to do something (move its units or so).

This is very useful if you use QCanvas as you can use this in your QCanvas::advance call. The advantage is that if you change the speed of the game (i.e. change QCanvas::setAdvancePeriod) the computer player gets slower as well.

If you don't use QCanvas you can use setAdvancePeriod to get the same result. Alternatively you can just use a QTimer.

Definition at line 506 of file kgameio.cpp.

pause()

void KGameComputerIO::pause

(

int

calls = -1

)

Ignore calls number of advance calls.

if calls is -1 then all following advance calls are ignored until unpause is called.

This simply prevents the internal advance counter to be increased.

You may want to use this to emulate a "thinking" computer player. Note that this means if you increase the advance period (see setAdvancePeriod), i.e. if you change the speed of your game, your computer player thinks "faster".

Parameters

calls

Number of advance calls to be ignored

Definition at line 494 of file kgameio.cpp.

reaction()

void KGameComputerIO::reaction ( )

protectedvirtual

Default implementation simply emits signalReaction.

Definition at line 523 of file kgameio.cpp.

reactionPeriod()

int KGameComputerIO::reactionPeriod

(

)

const

Definition at line 467 of file kgameio.cpp.

rtti()

int KGameComputerIO::rtti ( ) const

overridevirtual

Run time identification.

Predefined values are from IOMode You MUST overwrite this in derived classes!

Returns

rtti value

Implements KGameIO.

Definition at line 455 of file kgameio.cpp.

setAdvancePeriod()

void KGameComputerIO::setAdvancePeriod

(

int

ms

)

Start a QTimer which calls advance every ms milli seconds.

Definition at line 474 of file kgameio.cpp.

setReactionPeriod()

void KGameComputerIO::setReactionPeriod

(

int

advanceCalls

)

The number of advance calls until the player (or rather: the IO) does something (default: 1).

Definition at line 460 of file kgameio.cpp.

signalReaction

void KGameComputerIO::signalReaction ( )

signal

This signal is emitted when your computer player is meant to do something, or better is meant to be allowed to do something.

stopAdvancePeriod()

void KGameComputerIO::stopAdvancePeriod

(

)

Definition at line 484 of file kgameio.cpp.

unpause()

void KGameComputerIO::unpause

(

)

Equivalent to pause(0).

Immediately continue to increase the internal advance counter.

Definition at line 501 of file kgameio.cpp.
