RPS

===



My Android RPS Application that integrates with my MMORPS 

software.  You can play with the software at



    https://lti-tools.dr-chuck.com/mmorps/



This is relatively simple application.   You login with your

Google account and can play Rock/Paper/Scissors with other.

If you want to pair your MMORPS account with a mobile device,

after you lok in - go to the drop-down by your name and select

"Pair with Mofile Device".  You can set or clear the pairing code.

This code will need to be typed into youy Android application.



Installing The Application

--------------------------



A functioning install of git is a pre-requisite to this procedure.



Generally the easiest way to get this application into your Android

Studio is to get to the screen labelled "Welcome to Android Studio". 

This screen comes up either when you open Android Studio for the 

first time or when you do a "File -> Close Project" on all open projects.



Select "Check out from Version Control" in that screen and choose "git".



In the dialog box that comes up - use this as the Git Repository URL:



    https://github.com/csev/RPS.git



This should check out the source code and open the project in one step.

If this is the very first time you have started Android Studio you may not

have the AndroidStudioProjects folder in your home directory.  You might 

need to create this by hand.



    /Users/csev/AndroidStudioProjects



Once the checkout completes you should open the project.   You might see 

a very empty grey screen with words like "Open Project View with %1".  This

happens becuase I don't check the .idea/workspace.xml file into git.  But 

don't worry - just do what it says to open the Project View and then start 

opening the files and soon Android Studio will look like it should.



How the Application Works

-------------------------



You can point this to any server you like - the default is my server.  Note

that if you want to point it to a server on your laptop, don't use the URL

with localhost.   On the Android, localhost loops back to the android 

emulator itself.  So you need to use a URL like these:



    http://192.168.1.102/mmorps/

    http://192.168.1.102:8888/mmorps/



You can use the idconfig command on Mac (and I think on Windows) to find your

IP address of your workstation.



Once you have the server URL, you enter the Pairing code and start 

playing.  There is extensive logging so you can watch what is going on 

in the console.  You can play against yourself in the Android

application and in the browser to test.  You will rack up the game count but

yur score will stay zero because you will both win and lose each game.



As always, this is early days and comments are welcome.
