SkillzSync

This class has methods to register an implementation of the SyncDelegate interface to support synchronous matches.

Call this method to register your delegate object that implements the SyncDelegate Interface.

static void registerSyncDelegate(SyncDelegate delegate, Activity activity) ;

Parameters

delegate The object that implements the callback methods to support synchronous play.

activity The activity of your game.

isMatchCompleted

static boolean isMatchCompleted();

Returns

A boolean indicating whether or not the match has been completed.

sendData

Call this method in order to send a message to all clients connected to this match. This will trigger didReceiveData: on all clients connected to the current match.

Note: NSData passed to this function are limited to a certain size based on the game, and this function will assert if over that size. (2048 bytes currently).

static void sendData(@NonNull byte[] data);

Parameters

data The message to be sent.

getConnectedPlayerCount

Use this method to query the number of players currently connected to a match.

static int getConnectedPlayerCount();

Returns

The numbers of players connected.

static long getOpponentPlayerId();

Returns

An integer identifying the opponent user in the match.

Note: Not to be used for displaying the current date/time.

static double getServerTime();

Returns

The current time in seconds.

getTimeLeftForReconnection

A Skillz player only has this much time remaining to reconnect once disconnected, and is the actual time they have left when this method is called. Reconnect time is strictly decreasing and does not reset after successful connections to prevent griefing.

Note: If the value returned is negative, the player should be considered aborted from the match.

static long getTimeLeftForReconnection(long playerId);

Parameters

The player id of the disconnected player.

Returns

The current time in milliseconds.

Interfaces

SyncDelegate

Implement this interface and register it with SkillzSync to support synchronous matches.

onOpponentHasLostConnection

This method will be called when the opponent player has lost their connection. This method is not called when the game is finished nor when the opponent aborts the match.

You could, for example, use this routine to pause the match until the disconnected player is either reconnected or kicked if they don't reconnect within the allotted time.

void onOpponentHasLostConnection(long playerId);

Parameters

playerId The id of player who is attempting to reconnect. The long type is equivalent to SKZSyncPlayerId.

onOpponentHasReconnected

This method is called when a disconnected opposing player reconnects to the server within the allotted time.

Note: This method is also called the first time the current player successfully connects to the server.

You can use this method to resume play in a game that had been paused when the player disconnected.

void onOpponentHasReconnected(long playerId);

Parameters

playerId The id of player who has reconnected. The long type is equivalent to SKZSyncPlayerId.

onOpponentHasLeftMatch

This method is called when the opposing player disconnects from the server and does not reconnect within the allotted time. This will remove them from the match.

You should implement this method to halt the game and report the current player's score.

void onOpponentHasLeftMatch(long playerId);

Parameters

playerId The id of player who has permanently left the match. The long type is equivalent to SKZSyncPlayerId.

onCurrentPlayerHasLostConnection

This method will be called when the current player has lost their connection to the Skillz Server.

Note that the SDK will try to reestablish a connection to the server on its own, there is no specific action the game needs to perform in this situation.

void onCurrentPlayerHasLostConnection();

onCurrentPlayerHasReconnected

Analogous to onOpponentHasReconnected except it is the current player who has reconnected to server.

void onCurrentPlayerHasReconnected();

onCurrentPlayerHasLeftMatch

This method is called when the current player disconnects from the server and does not reconnect within the allotted time. This will remove them from the match.

The current player is permanently removed from the match, in much the same manner as if they had aborted the match.

Note: You should implement this method and abort the current player from the match.

void onCurrentPlayerHasLeftMatch();

onDidReceiveData

This method receives an array of data that had been sent by the other player.

void onDidReceiveData(@NonNull byte[] data);

Parameters

data The message sent by the other player.

onMatchCompleted

This method will be triggered on all clients when one client has explicitly reported a score or aborted.

void onMatchCompleted();
