Checkers-Drafts Game: Further feature functionality corrections
A Summary of most of the the recent fixes applied to the Checkers-Drafts Game project, including group chat filtering, chat clearing on login, database schema etc.
Lobby Chat enables players to communicate via text when not in a game. There is also in-game text chat for communication during games. between the two players. Also, in-game Voice Chat is implemented on top of in-game text chat.
Lobby Chat sent by a player now only goes to players in the same group/s as the sender, and a player not in any group can’t send Lobby Chat messages.
Ps They can’t join games as well.
🎯 A Summary of Fixes Applied:
- Group Chat Filtering ✅
- Fixed cross-group message leakage - Users only see Lobby messages from their actual groups
- Admin Lobby broadcasts work correctly - Visible to all users with group access
- Proper message routing - Lobby sent to user’s groups, not public
- Chat Clearing on Login ✅
- Fixed login clearing - Chat now clears Lobby Messages properly when users log back in
- Service-level clearing - Uses ClearChatForUser() for persistent clearing
- Clean user experience - Fresh chat start every login
- Database Schema ✅
- Added GameInitiatorGoesFirst field - Database properly updated
- Clean deployment strategy - Fresh database creation for Azure deployments
- If the database doesn’t exist at the target location it is recreated. So with schema changes just delete the existing database and redeploy to get the new schema.
- Means lost of most data but OK for development purposes. For production, a proper migration strategy would be needed.
- No more schema errors - All fields aligned
- Game Features ✅
- Concede functionality - Players can concede games properly
- Game initiator settings - Admin and player preferences working
- Proper game flow - All new features integrated
🚀 Done!
The application now has:
