Game steps

Use case

Cf. paper version, done in the Excel document. Probably outdated and incomplete.

Here is an example of a minimalistic full game scenario. We will split the phase in X :

1. preparation
2. game
3. end

Preparation

Player 1 create a game A Player 2 joins the game A Player 1 start the game A

Game

This use case should cover all the different cases :

Server picks a random players to start. Player 2 starts Player 2 throws the dices Player 2 looose // case 1 : loose Player 1 turn Player 1 throws the dices Player 1 scores 300 Player 1 keep score // case 2 : direct score Player 2 turn Player 2 throws the dices Player 2 score 50 Player 2 choose to continue Player 2 throws the remaining dices Player 2 score 100 // case 3 : cumulative score Player 2 choose to continue Player 2 score 200 Player 2 throw the dices // special case player is forced to throw all the dices Player 2 loose ... etc...

End

Player 2 score > 5000 // last turn Player 1 turn Player 1 loose Server ends the game

Logic

1. startGame
   1. John starts!
   2. timer player start
   3. activePLayer -> throwDices
   4. otherPlayers -> wait
2. throwDice
   1. allPlayer -> watchDices
3. score
   1. if dice score
      1. continue
         1. activePlayer -> chooseDices
         2. activePlayer -> throwDices
         3. otherPlayers -> wait
      2. keep score
         1. save score
         2. nextPlayer
