Players is an important
feature of any computer game. Creating and maintaining players list give
an extra edge to any downloadable pc game. All our solitaire game
products also includes with option to create new players, edit and
delete existing players. After creating a player you
have to select him as the main player. Then all the successive games
will go to his scoreboard. Any time you can change the current player.
When you install the game only one player will be installed named
"Player1". If you don't create players all games played will be credited
for Player1. It is a good idea to create separate players for each user
using the game. So it will be easy to track each game played by
individual users. When you create a new player Game
Engine will open a new data storage space for that new player and all
the successive games played by that player will go to that area whether
it is an incomplete game or finished game. Game
Statistics Window gives more details about games played by each players
like games played, won, lost, score etc. In High Score
Window you can see details of highest score achieved by each player.
In Log Statistics Window you can filter all games played by a specific
player. Session Statistics Window gives current player
name. You can also edit or delete existing players any
time. Deleted player details will not be shown in the statistics
windows. When you delete a player game engine will mark the player as
deleted and game engine delete all statistics for that particular
player.
In it's internal database game engine maintains a unique id for all
existing and even deleted players. This is called Player ID and it will be
totally unique for all current players and old players. Main idea behind
this player id is to maintain the uniqueness of the players. i.e. even if
you create a new player with a deleted player name, the new player will be
totally different from the deleted player and old player statistics will
not reflect for the new player. This is very important thing especially if
you create and delete players very often.
