BetView 






Inherits From:	View : Responder : Object

Conforms To:	NXDraggingSource (Informal)
NXDraggingDestination

Declared In:	BetView.h





Class Description

Instances of this class provide a visual representation of chips on the table.  Users can simply mouse-down on a BetView to place bets.  However, the decision on when this is allowed and what happens as a result are left to the BetView's delegate.

BetViews are sort of a cross between a View and Matrix, where the cells of the Matrix are ChipPiles (see the documentation on the ChipPile class for more information).  BetViews arrange their chips in a four column by one row matrix.  You can change the number of rows and columns, and you can change the position of each chip individually.  Currently, BetViews only allow a matrix of 4 by 4.  Perhaps future versions of BetView will allow larger matrices, if necessary.

Each chip position can have its own payout set, which makes paying off bets very simple.  Use the setPayoff methods and the payBet methods to set and pay bets, respectively.

There are a zillion ways to modify the bets within a BetView.  I have tried to anticipate any action you may want to perform on a BetView.   There are methods to copy all bets from one BetView to another BetView, to swap bets, multipy bets, increment bets, clear bets, collect bets, etc.  It should be sufficient.

When a user mouses down in a BetView, it sends its delegate the player:willBet:onView: message.  It is then the delegate's responsibility to interpret the user's action and to make place the bet with the BetView.

You can give a BetView an identity either by setting its tag, or its viewType or both.

NEXTVegas modules should definately use BetView's whenever they need to display and have the user interact with bets.  I would like to keep a constant interface across all NVModules.  If the current incarnation of the BetView class does not do everything that you need, please let me know so we can modify it together.  Any modules that use the BetView class now will automatically be enhanced with the next version of NEXTVegas.

Methods Implemented By The Delegate

mouseEnteredView:
- mouseEnteredView:sender

Sent by the BetView sender when ever the mouse enters its bounds.  The Craps module uses this method to display a set of rules for a given bet on the table.




mouseExitedView:
- mouseExitedView:sender

Sent by the BetView sender when ever the mouse leaves its bounds.




player:willBet:onView:
- player:aPlayer willBet:(int)betType onView:aBetView

Sent by aBetView when a player mouses down on it.  aPlayer is the current player (which is not necessarily the player that is making the bet).  betType is one of the following constants:

Constant	Description
NV_BET	When the player simply mouses down on the view
NV_REMOVEBET	When the player mouses down while pressing the SHIFT key.
NV_BETOTHER	When the player mouses down while pressing the ALTERNATE key.
NV_REMOVEOTHER	When the player mouses down while pressing the ALTERNATE & SHIFT keys.
NV_BETOFF	When the player mouses down while pressing the CONTROL key.

The delegate object must interpret the message and decide what to do.  It should first decide which player is actually making the bet (it may not necessarily be aPlayer).  It can then either make a bet for the player (by sending sender the bet:atRow:col:, for example), remove a bet, etc.  It can also choose to ignore the message if placing a bet at the time is inappropriate.
