Before creating the component, we need some new data properties:
- turn: The number of the current turn; starts at 1
- players: The array of player objects
- currentPlayerIndex: The index of the current player in the players array
Add them in the state in the state.js file:
// The consolidated state of our app
var state = {
// World
worldRatio: getWorldRatio(),
// Game
turn: 1,
players: [
{
name: 'Anne of Cleves',
},
{
name: 'William the Bald',
},
],
currentPlayerIndex: Math.round(Math.random()),
}
Math.round(Math.random()) will use 0 or 1 randomly to choose who goes first.
We will use these properties to display the player names and the turn counter in the top bar.
