What Happens Next?

[MUSIC] 0:00 Welcome to the final stage of this course. 0:04 At this point, we've built out most of our classes. 0:06 We've created several objects that are all working together and 0:09 interacting with each other. 0:12 We've rendered our visual components and added interactivity so 0:14 a player can move their tokens around the board and drop them into spaces. 0:17 But now what? 0:21 A turn isn't just dropping a token. 0:22 In a real life game, 0:25 a lot of the synthesis that happens after someone drops a token is automatic. 0:26 We can clearly see a space is filled with a token. 0:30 It's obvious whose turn it is, and 0:33 a winning move is visible right in front of us. 0:35 In our game, though, we have to write the logic for the series of calculations. 0:37 So throughout this stage, 0:42 you'll be creating new methods to handle these tasks. 0:43 At the conclusion of this course, you will write 0:46 a final method called update game state, that calls them all in a specific order. 0:48 This update game state method is the callback function that was 0:54 mentioned earlier in the course. 0:58 This function is passed as an argument to the drop animation, and 0:59 is called once the animation is complete. 1:03 Calling the update games state callback will trigger the following events. 1:05 Filling the target space with the active token, checking for a winning move, and 1:09 switching the active player. 1:14 You'll tackle each of these steps one by one and then together, we'll 1:16 come together for a solution video for the completed update game state method. 1:20 That will be followed by a final demo of the game. 1:24 Good luck, and see you soon. 1:27
