broadcast message to all users

Question

hi.I'm developing a game where each user sees the list of all online users. The problem is when a new user connects, how to let other users get notified of this and update their list? Also when a user bgins a game theirs status should change to playing. Is there an api for these kind of broadcast messages or should I use sendChat api?

thanks.

Hi Arash,

When a new user joins a room , all the subscribed users get the onUserJoinedRoom callback in the registered NotifyListener from where you can get the username of the player who joined the room.For this you will have to register the NotifyListener while initializing the WarpClient object.Subsequently, all the players can update their lists.

If you are making a Turn-Based Game,whenever a user starts the game, the result of the request is provided in the onGameStarted callback of the registered TurnBasedRoomListener.The result is a byte depicting the status of the request made.Likewise,you can maintain the state of a player when he/she starts a game.
