Give the Player object an instance var called 'playerNumber' and set it to 1, 2, 3, 4 on each of your players. Have a global var called 'currentPlayer'. And then you simply do:

Player: playerNumber = currentPlayer
      Player: Add 1 to score]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:33:34 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/can-i-copy-objects-or-how-to-do-multiplayer_topic54591.html Can I copy objects?

I’ve got a question about copying objects as if they were variables.

I’m making a turn based card game with 4 players (hotseat game). Each player is represented as an Object with a number of attributes (CardsInHand, Score etc.).

When Events happen in the game I need to update one of the players attributes depending on whose turn it is. So something like this

Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4

<turn 1>
CurrentPlayer = Player1

<then play the turn>
Add 1 to CurrentPlayer score
Add a card to the CurrentPlayer hand
Etc.

<turn 2>
CurrentPlayer = Player2


What’s the best way to accomplish this while keeping the code as simple as possible?
