Re: [Rails-devel] Bug in StartRound Code for reducing prices

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
most likely in the beginning of Rails the PD was neither during 
StockRounds nor during the auction updated after each action.

I added a PlayerNameModel now that is a very instructive application of 
the new core mechanism:

Each players PlayerNameModel adds itself to the PlayerOrderModel of the 
PlayerManager. The PlayerOrderModel itself contains various state 
variables, including the PriorityPlayer state.

So as soon as the PriorityPlayer variable changes this indicates that 
the PlayerOrderModel has changed and this implies that the 
PlayerNameModel could have changed. A Field in the UI observes the 
PlayerNameModel and gets updated accordingly. This mechanism is highly 
reliable and so only a few lines of code had to be added/changed to make 
the Player captions changing with the PriorityPlayer changing.

This is now much easier in 2.0 compared to the beginning of 1.x coding.
