When rematching, some users have a convention that e.g. lowest scoring
player in the "parent" game goes first. So allow that, providing the
choice on each rematch until a default has been chosen. Support
changing that default in a new prefs setting.
The place I chose to enforce the order was on the host as invitees are
registering and being assigned slots. But by then there's no longer
any connection to the game that was rematched, e.g. to use its
scores. So during the rematched game creation process I create and
store with the new game the necessary ordering information. For the
3-and-4 device case, it was also necessary to tweak the information
about other guests that the host sends guests (added during earlier
work on rematching.)
This is probably a temporary fix for Linux not being aggressive enough
about calling comms_resendAll() when opening a game. For now, though,
test scripts fail without it.
There was some confusion around host and self addresses, where they're
created, default values, removing conTypes from defaults that are not
in received host addr, etc. I left in some asserts to help understand
if code that seems wrong but hard to fix is still getting called.
Remove legacy relay-inspired logic around comms addressing. Now when a
device creates a game it's required to provide its "self address," and
if it's a client, the address of the host (which it presumably got
through the invitation in response to which the game is being
created.) Then as registration messages come in from clients, the host
gathers their addresses as always.
Removed a boolean that seemed unnecessary. Stopped showing
move-explanations for robots in duplicate mode. They were being shown
too early thanks to bad logic, but I don't think there's any call for
them at all. A robot's move is only interesting if it's the one that
wins the turn.
The assertion's clearly blocking testing, but I'm not sure it's not an
error for two move explanations to want to co-exist. For now they're
concatenated.
It's awkward for platform code to create a dictionary prior to opening a
game whose data contains the information about what dict to open. So add
a dutil method to fetch a dict, and call it from inside game opening
code. Makes linux code better at least.
This is meant to replace the relay eventually, but for now it's a new
option, like BT or SMS, to be chosen. Protocol is handled in common/
code for the first time, meaning that linux and android interact without
the need to keep two platforms in sync. Linux uses lib-mosquitto, and
Android uses eclipse's Paho client (the generic java version, not the
one that uses four-year-old Service patterns and so crashes for SDK >=
26.)
I was getting an occasional crash using a stale env to delete a dict's
resources because the dict was cacheing the env that created it. Dumb!
Using the thread->env mapping stuff worked, but that felt risky and so I
tried just passing it in. It's safe, and involves an amount of change I
can tolerate. So likely going that way.
With reject-phonies set this will trigger the reject path.
Also init CommonPrefs in jni land since its makePhonyPct, left unitialized,
causes the robot to deliberately reverse every turn, firing an assertion that the
robot's moves are legal.
