turnbasedskeleton's Introduction

TurnBasedSkeleton

This project aims to create a skeleton for any turn based game using GameCenter. As GameCenter seems to lack in documentation and tutorials, especially as far as turn based gaming is concerned, I decided to create this project to help others who might want to integrate GameCenter to their projects. This project (as-is) supports two player games. This could easily change with minimal alterations of the code.

This project uses a custom UI to:

present a list of all games
display the local player's friends and allow him/her to pick one to invite
- For the opponent to receive the invitation a turn must also be sent, as well as a reminder. Thus, in order to invite a friend, a friend is selected, an invitation request is made, a turn is taken and a reminder is sent.
accept/decline an invitation
end and remove an active game

This project:

Allows the local user to login to GameCenter. If the local user is not already logged in through his/her device, the GameCenter login screen will appear.
- If the local user does not login to GameCenter, an error message will appear.
- If the local user logs in to GameCenter, the program continues.
Allows the local user to get a list of all:
- Games that are his/her turn
- Games that are the opponent's turn
- Games he/she is invited to
- Games he/she has initiated and have not been accepted or declined yet
- Games that have ended
Allows the local user to remove a game that has ended from the games list
Allows the local user to receive a new turn from an opponent, including data
Allows the local user to send a new turn to an opponent, including data
Allows the local user to receive and be notified of a new invitation from an opponent
