== Implementing the entities ==
== Implementing the entity hierarchy ==

In Java we would implement a class per entity type. JavaScript, however, is not class but prototype based.

In the later live game, Marauroa has to create the objects based on the information it gets from the server. In order to store the prototpyes it has a factory called marauroa.rpobjectFactory.

As a first step, we setup our inheritance hierarchy. Entity is the class at the root. Gameboard, Token and Player are specializations:

<source lang="html4strict">
/** Abstract entity */
marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory._default);

/** game board */
marauroa.rpobjectFactory.gameboard = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity);

/** token */
marauroa.rpobjectFactory.token = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity);

/** player */
marauroa.rpobjectFactory.player = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity);

Development log of TicToe HTML5

After drawing a rough entity class diagram in the previous article, we are now going to implement the client side. We need to start with a html page that hosts the required java script files.

HTML page as container

Note: If you are using a development version of marauroa, you may need to include all the marauroa .js files in stead of marauroa.compiled.js.

<source lang="html4strict"> <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>TicToe</title> <style type="text/css"> body {color: #FFF; font-family: Arial; background-color:#0A0} </style> </head>

<body> <script type="text/javascript" src="marauroa.compiled.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="src/js/entities.js"></script> </body> </html> </source>

Implementing the entity hierarchy

In Java we would implement a class per entity type. JavaScript, however, is not class but prototype based.

In the later live game, Marauroa has to create the objects based on the information it gets from the server. In order to store the prototpyes it has a factory called marauroa.rpobjectFactory.

As a first step, we setup our inheritance hierarchy. Entity is the class at the root. Gameboard, Token and Player are specializations:

<source lang="html4strict"> /** Abstract entity */ marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory._default);

/** game board */ marauroa.rpobjectFactory.gameboard = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity);

/** token */ marauroa.rpobjectFactory.token = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity);

/** player */ marauroa.rpobjectFactory.player = marauroa.util.fromProto(marauroa.rpobjectFactory.entity); </source>
