Add entrapment in a game were a player loses because they can’t move as well as being able to perform more than one jump in a move.
Goal
- Implement new gameplay logic and settings:
- Entrapment Mode (V2.5.0)
- Double-jump / multi-jump support (V2.6.0)
- Wire the new rules/settings into Admin UI and persistence.
Comments
It was found tha the app did not know when a game had actually ended so that was implemented as per a previous commit. It is also in the rules that if it is a player’s turn and they can’t move then they lose. For simplicity it was decided to initially only implement single jumps in a move. The app logic was added here to allow a player to make a second move as a jump after they have made a jump, but the other player can butt in after 2 seconds in which case they lose that chance.
Summary of Work Completed
V2.5.0 — Entrapment Mode implemented
- Added support for an “Entrapment Mode” rule variant.
- Added/updated settings and persistence so the mode can be configured and survives restarts.
V2.6.0 — Double jumps implemented
- Implemented double-jump / multi-jump gameplay support.
- Added/updated settings and persistence related to multi-jump behavior.
- Updated the UI/game component to support the new move flow.
