Constructor Detail

Start

public Start(java.lang.String[] args)

To create the one "Start" object which handles initiates the "whatToDoNext" action according to what the user wants. Brings up one of the dialogs, or starts a Game, a Network client or a Web Client.

Method Detail

getStartOptions

public Options getStartOptions()

getWhatNextManager

public WhatNextManager getWhatNextManager()

getWhatToDoNext

public WhatNextManager.WhatToDoNext getWhatToDoNext()

usage

private static void usage(Opts opts)

Print a usage string to stdout. (*Not* to the logfile, where casual users will miss it.)

commandLineProcessing

private void commandLineProcessing(java.lang.String[] args)

Prepare the "Opts" object to parse all options from command line. As result, creates/sets the instance variable CmdLine object "cmdLine" from which one can then query which options were set, and their value if they require one.

Parameters:

args - The String-Array given to main()

setInitialAction

public void setInitialAction(Options serverOptions,
                             Options netclientOptions)

Based on command line options -c, -w, possibly -g, set startObject to the right "whatToDoNext" action and set in startOptions the related values. Expects that server (cf) options are already loaded.

runGetPlayersDialogAndWait

private void runGetPlayersDialogAndWait(Options options)

Bring up the GetPlayers dialog, and then wait until is has set startObject to the next action to do and notified us to continue.

Parameters:

options - The "server side" main options Object which holds the information what kind of game to play next (variant, which players) and the "Game options" for the to-be-started game, like unlimitedMulligans, viewmode, balancedTowers, ...)

setupOptionsFromCommandLine

private boolean setupOptionsFromCommandLine(CmdLine cl,
                                            Options startOptions,
                                            Options options)

setupAndLoop

private void setupAndLoop()

Do the setup of the various Options objects (server, netclient), some more preparations, and then it stays in the loop which - waits for user input what to do next - initiates that action and waits until it completes (or if canceled, like closing the network client dialog, bring up back the main (=GetPlayers) dialog, or if user requests Quit, exit the loop; and when it exited the loop control will return back to main() and the JVM should terminate sooner or later ;-)

runNetClientDialogAndWait

private void runNetClientDialogAndWait()

startNetClient

private boolean startNetClient(Options startOptions)

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
