3. When a
GameStatusMessage
is received, we need to accomplish three things.
First, set the ID of the game. Knowing the ID of the game is not necessary for the
client in this implementation, but can be useful for communication with the serv-
er:
else if(m instanceof GameStatusMessage){
int status = ((GameStatusMessage)m).getGameStatus();
switch(status){
case Game.GAME_WAITING:
if(game.getId() == 0 &&
((GameStatusMessage)m).getGameId() > 0){
game.setId(((GameStatusMessage)m).getGameId());
}
4. Then, we set the
playerOne
and
playerTwo
fields by simply checking
whether they have been set before or not. We also need to identify the player by
comparing the IDs of the players in the message with the ID associated with this
client. Once found, we let him or her start placing ships, as follows:
if(game.getPlayerOne() == null &&
((GameStatusMessage)m).getPlayerOneId() > 0){
int playerOneId =
((GameStatusMessage)m).getPlayerOneId();
if(gameClient.getThisPlayer().getId() ==
playerOneId){
game.setPlayerOne(gameClient.getThisPlayer());
gameClient.placeShips();
} else {
Player otherPlayer = new Player();
otherPlayer.setId(playerOneId);
game.setPlayerOne(otherPlayer);
}
}
game.setStatus(status);
5. When
TurnMessage
is received, we should extract
activePlayer
from it
and set it on the game. If
activePlayer
is the same as
thisPlayer
of
gameClient
, set
myTurn
to
true
on
gameClient
.
