Games::Risk::GUI - gui multiplexer poe session

version 3.103040

    my $id = Games::Risk::GUI->spawn(\%params);

Games::Risk uses various windows to display the game: the board of course, but also the window displaying the cards owned by the player, and some others.

Depending on the event, the controller needs to send events to a given window, or even to more than one. But it is clearly not the controller's job to know how the GUI works!

Therefore, Games::Risk::GUI is a poe session that will receive all the events fired by the controller, and forward them to the other windows. Of course, the controller now fires its events only to the Games::Risk::GUI session.

This poe session will have various aliases: the player's name, the player object stringified, and finally the alias gui.

This method will create a POE session responsible for multiplexing the events received from the controller to the various windows.

It will return the poe id of the session newly created.

You can tune the session by passing some arguments as a hash reference:

* player => $player

The human $player that will control the GUI.

Games::Risk.
