2 player switch turn different score

PRRP games

Hey guys,
I am building a dart counter. But i have a few questions about it.

How can i make a number keybord with a blank box.
And when I press enter the number goes from the total score, of one of the players.

After pressing enter, how can i make the turn switch?

Sorry for my really bad English ,

Make an integer attribute called game.playerTurn and set it to 1. It will switch between 1 and 2. Make two more integer attributes called game.player1Score and game.player2Score. Make a text attribute called game.keyboardInput.

If touch is pressed
Keyboard Input [prompt: "Enter a number"] attribute game.keyboardInput

If game.keyboardInput ≠ ""
If game.playerTurn=1
Change attribute game.player1Score to game.player1Score-game.keyboardInput
If game.playerTurn=2
Change attribute game.player2Score to game.player2Score-game.keyboardInput
Change attribute game.playerTurn to 3-game.playerTurn
Change attribute game.keyboardInput to ""

I want to build an app that counts my score when i am darting in real life.
I already made two scores but i want a way of typing in my score. ( like this: )
How can I make that work, because there are two different scores?

One more question.

Change attribute game.player1Score to game.player1Score-game.keyboardInput
If game.playerTurn=2

Change attribute game.playerTurn to 3-game.playerTurn
Change attribute game.keyboardInput to ""

Are we talking about darts as in throwing darts at a dart board?

Can you give me an example of how a round might go? Does each player start with a certain number of points and then subtract points each turn? Sorry, I'm not that familiar with darts.

Darts is a... unique game Someone sat down one day and said "I'm going to make a game that people will mostly play drunk, or at least with a pint in their hand. For the scoring, I'll make them subtract, add and multiply numbers of up to three digits at every opportunity, and put the numbers in a seemingly random order!"

At least that's what I like to believe.

(Rules will vary ofc, but this is the key points.)

Lol @Armelline‌, looks like I have some learning to do!

With a numeric keypad like that, you have to find a way to "build" the number. If you wanted to key in 43, you can't just add 4+3. You either have to add a factor of ten (410^1+310^0) or concatenate text ("4".."3"). I'd probably do the latter. Someone probably already has a demo of this...

Armelline

In short, a person throws three darts each round. Each dart can hit one of 20 wedges. Within that wedge, it can hit single, double or triple score. So if you hit the 5 wedge, you score will be 5, 10 or 15 depending on where you hit. You can also hit the outer center ring for 25 points or the inner ring for 50 points.

So the lowest showing dart possible is 1, and the highest is 60.

These scores are then deducted from the total (501 by the linked rules) and the first player to reach 0 (and meet a "win" condition if one is required), wins.

Hey,

I made my number pad! and its working.
But at darts you can throw a maximum of 180 at 1 turn. So could i set
the maximum of my text input to 180?

Armelline

I'd recommend you put a rule that says "If inputted number > 180, change inputted number to 180". Trying to limit the input itself would be very problematic.

PRRP games

At witch atribute i have to adjust that?

PRRP games

stupid question
Witch condition i have to add?

Armelline

Whichever one you're storing the inputted score in.

PRRP games

What I added to my text box actor:
Rule
attribute

but i dont know what to select after 'if'

Armelline

I think you're going to need to explain a little about how you set up the number pad. When you press a number, what happens (in the logic)?

tatiang

You guys have been busy! I made a demo but I'm not sure you need it any more. It limits entry to 2 digits.

Edit: oops, just noticed you're using PC Creator* and I made the demo in Mac Creator. Carry on...

*I should be getting Windows 8 set up in a day or two so no more lame excuses for me

This are my rules. but it didn't work

PRRP games

thanks @tatiang for your help.
indeed, the number pad is working but there are a few things that aren't.

• I dont haven a maximum for text input ( you can throw a maximum of 180 per round at darts)
• When i press the enter button the turn doesn't switch to the other player

tatiang

The way I did this was to make the input a text attribute and the rule for adding a digit (pressing a button) limited to textLength(game.input) < 2, or for your needs, < 3. It would take more sophisticated rules to limit the score to 180. And the enter button should change game.currentPlayer to 3-game.currentPlayer, assuming that game.currentPlayer starts with a value of 1.

PRRP games

This is my text box at the moment:

" alt="" title="" />

What should i change?
it works fine now, only not with the turnes

at the first 'change attribute' in the second box is standing: game.score1-game.keyboardinput

PRRP games

@tatiang‌

I understand what you did with the enter button, but i can't make it work. can you explain it a little more.

" alt="" title="" />

this are my Game attributes. How can i make the turn switch work with this attributes?

tatiang

As I explained above, you use an attribute set to 1 and subtract it from 3 each time the enter button is pressed. This might look strange but mathematically it works like this:

If it is player 1's turn and you press the enter button, the next player will be 3-1=2.
If it is player 2's turn and you press the enter button, the next player will be 3-2=1.
