Re: [Rails-devel] Game.xml vs. GamesList.xml

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

This is so because of Brett's insistence to include option selection in the
initial game selection window.
This means that game-specific options must be known before a game is
selected and can be loaded. This option duplication was the easiest way to
accomplish that.
I would have (and initially had) done it differently. We have had a rather
heated debate about that a few years ago...

Subject: [Rails-devel] Game.xml vs. GamesList.xml

I haven't looked up this question in the archives -- I can't see an  
easy way to search all of the archives (but perhaps Google) will do  
it for me -- and just decided to send to the list while the question  
was fresh in my mind.

User selectable Options are found in the GamesList.xml on a per-game  
basis as well as in the per-game Game.xml.   The options seem to be  
duplicated.  However it does not seem that the Options tag is used in  
Game.xml.  The values are but the tag itself can be missing.  Any  
comments on this?

Thanks,
-- Rick
