Hello All,
Someone mentioned a problem with RFTS the other day that you
have to manually figure out the current turn type based on knowing the
rules.
This is probably not a major issue with RFTS, but I was
thinking other game rules may have different turn types that can't be
figured out based on simple arithmetic, or with rules not known to the
client (or just random!).
Anyway I was thinking that it would be fairly simple to add two
fields to fix the problem.
Hence my attached patch to the documentation.
Otherwise, we could add a new "turn id" message, but that seems
overkill. The turn name obviously needs to be defined by the ruleset.
Thoughts...
I can commit if people are happy with it, although I need to
send mithro a new ssh key first ;-)
Regards,
