Class GameState

java.lang.Object
VASSAL.build.module.GameState
All Implemented Interfaces:
CommandEncoder
public class GameState
extends Object
implements CommandEncoder
The GameState contains methods to track and read/write the complete enumerated game state of the game currently being played. Its main methods deal with saving/loading games and starting/ending games: see saveGameAs(), loadGame(), setup(boolean). In each case, appropriate calls are made to designated methods in all relevant GameComponents. Can also be queried if a game is in progress isGameStarted() and if the game state has been modified since the last save isModified(). Only one game can be open at once in a single Player, or in a single Editor/Player pair.
