Hi guys, so I am working on rolling dice game in GUI, the game rules
will be something like rolling 3 dices and then giving out points to 2
players based on the rolled values.
Im now stuck on the showing value in GUI. Basically what I need is to
show rolled value somewhere in frame.
This is my rolling dice code:
(define (nrandom n)
(if (= n 0 ) '() (cons (random 1 7) (nrandom (- n 1)))))
this is my callback function which i know is wrong:
(new button% [parent gamew]
[label "roll dice"]
[min-width 150]
; Callback procedure for a button click:
[callback (lambda (b e) (send (nrandom 3) show #t))])
So by using this im getting my 3 values in IDE window. Where should I
look for information how to get them in frame in some kind of box?
I just started my programming journey and racket documentation is not
easy for me to get any information from there tbh. Just figuring out how
to make frame and buttons + callback functions took me good few hours.
(Warning: I haven't tested this code.)
One thing you could do is add a new message% widget to the frame. For
example, change your callback to the following:
;; button callback:
(lambda (b e)
;; creating the widget has the side effect of adding it
;; to the parent container (gamew)
(new message%
(parent gamew)
(label (format "Rolled a ~s" (nrandom 3))))
(void))
Adding a new widget to the game frame may change its size or layout. You
can control layout with containers (see pane%, panel%, and their
subclasses).
But message% widgets aren't very flexible in how they display text.
Another thing you could do is add a single editor canvas and write all
of the die-roll messages to its editor. That would look something like this:
;; one text% and editor-canvas% per game frame:
(define t (new text%))
(define ec (new editor-canvas% (parent gamew) (editor t)))
;; the button callback:
... (lambda (b e)
(send t insert (format "Rolled a ~s\n" (nrandom 3)))
(void))
You can refine this version by disallowing user edits (see `lock`),
reliably placing the insertion point at the end of the editor before
writing, adding styles to the die roll result, etc. See the text%
documentation.
