Data File Framework

Location: URL to Public Directory http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~sibailaj/framework/ (Links to an external site.)

Files Contained in 'framework' directory: demo.html - This is a front end web interface to simulate AJAX calls to the server request.js - The AJAX JavaScript code which converts object data to JSON and creates GET and POST requests to retrieve and update data respectfully handler.php - The Server Side API that handles GET (file retrieval) and POST (file creation and update requests)

To create a file on the server, pass in a JavaScript unitdata object into the setFile() method containing the following attributes (e.g. unitdata.gameid = 12345):

Method: setFile(unitdata object)

1. unitdata.id - The unique identifier for the current game (e.g. 12345)
2. unitdata.type - The type of unit (rock, paper, or scissors)
3. unitdata.player - Either 'user' or 'opponent'
4. unitdata.index - An integer identifing an individual unit in case there are duplicate units (e.g. unitdata.index = 2 for the 2nd Unit on the map for a specific type)
5. Additional Data as necessary:
   • unitdata.health = 50
   • unitdata.x_coord = 28
   • unitdata.y_coord = 94
   • etc...

To retrieve all of the data for a single game, pass in the gameid integer into the getFiles() method as shown below:

Method: getFiles(int gameid) 1.gameid - The unique identifier for the current game (e.g. 12345)

Returns a JSON object containing all file data in the gameid directory. This data is parsed and converted into a JavaScript object which is returned by the function.

Description: This is where an example of what the layout will be for the final project.

Graphics

Location: http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~gariepyt/senior-project/Graphics/graphicsTest.html

Description: Can select and unselect the two squares by clicking on them. Can move selected squares by clicking on a spot on the board.

Current issues:

1. No indication of selection when you left click on a rectangle
2. When the rightmost square is selected, it can "push" the left square around the screen

Pathfinding works better after following these steps:

1. Selecting and unselecting a square
2. Selecting the other square
3. Moving that other square
