== The Main Rule ==

'''One BGA account = One person'''

== Playing from the same IP ==

This is '''authorized''' to play at the same table from the same IP (internet address).

The warning message "this player plays from the same internet address as another player" is a '''simple warning'''. It is a useful warning, because the other players have the right to know that there are players at their table that are able to discuss out of game.

If you want to play from the same internet address as another person:
* The best option is not to play at the same table, or play at a table where you know everyone.
* Please '''switch off ELO''' (table option), so you won't be accused of cheating.
* If you play with strangers, make them comfortable with the fact you are 2 (or more) different people: don't discuss about the game outside the chatroom, don't collaborate (or do kingmaking) with your partner.

When some of your opponents are playing from the same IP:
* You may politely refuse to play with them.
* You should be vigilant and check that they are not collaborating during the game.
* You don't have to report them until they are doing a concrete kingmaking action. If you report some players saying that "they are playing from the same IP" without any kingmaking proof, we will close your report.

== Boosting your ELO by playing against yourself ==

This is the most stupid and useless thing to do on BGA.

Why? Because this is very easy to detect, and because the penalty is:
* all your secondary account are removed.
* your primary account is reset to 1500 ELO for all games.

Why this is so easy to detect:
* When you start having a very good ELO, all other good players will look at you and your game history. In the game history, this is really easy to see how you manage to have a good ELO.
* In BGA, every game can be replayed. So if a game is suspect, anyone can replay it and check if this is a real game or a fake game.
* In addition to this, we are using some automatic methods and some technical information that allow us to check if "one person = one account".
* Consequently, it happens that some players manage to do ELO boosting, but at the end they are all detected and reset to 1500. This is why this is a waste of time for everyone, and this is why this is useless.

If you have a lot of time to spend, please try to get better at this game and please do not try to cheat.

'''忙郎中文机器翻译：

主要规则
一个BGA帐户=一个人。
警告消息“这个玩家与另一名玩家在相同的网络地址”是一个简单的警告。
这是一个有用的警告，因为其他玩家有权知道有玩家在他们的桌子，可以一起讨论游戏。
如果你想从相同的网络地址和另一个人玩，最好的选择是不在同一张桌子上玩，或者玩的一张桌子上，每个人你都认识。
如果跟你玩的是陌生人，让他们确认你们是2个不同的人：不讨论游戏，不与您的合作伙伴合作。
当你的对手是来自同一个IP：你可以礼貌地拒绝和他们一起玩。
你要提高警惕，检查他们游戏中不合作。
你不需要报告他们直到他们作弊。如果你报告说“他们是在同一IP”却没有任何证明，我们将关闭你的报告。
在对提高你自己的ELO方面，这是最愚蠢和无用的东西。为什么？因为这很容易识别，而且会有刑罚：
你所有的帐户被删除。您的主帐户所有游戏分值都将被重置到1500以下。
“一个人就是一个帐户”。
如果你有很多时间，请尝试在这方面做得更好的游戏，请不要试图欺骗。

Css Customization

2015-06-17T15:54:59Z

This feature allows you to customize Board Game Arena with some CSS.

= Why this feature? =

At first, because this is cool :)

Then, a lot of players told us that BGA should look better, and we constantly tried to make it look much better. But as it is a community-based website, we found out that we should allow YOU to participate. So this is why you can customize BGA appearance and share your customization with others.

= How it works? =

From your account preferences, "advanced" tab, you can write some CSS. As soon as you click on "save", it is integrated to BGA CSS for your account.

You should use your browser developer tools (F12 on Chrome and Firefox) to get the ids/classes of the element that you want to change, and try to change them with these tools first. Finally, you can copy/paste your updates on the CSS customization form.

= What is CSS ? =

Well... if you don't know what CSS is, sorry but you shouldn't try to customize BGA appearance with this tool.

= Reset CSS =

Just above the CSS customization form, there is a link to reset all your changes and get back to the normal BGA. Please '''bookmark this link''' before doing any change to your CSS code. If you break the website by any manner, you'll be able to restore the original BGA instantly.

= Modify images =

Most of images on BGA are loaded through "background-image" CSS command. This way, you can update it and load any image. You can host image on any server, or on a website like [http://imgur.com/ imgur].

= Sharing customization =

Using the link above the CSS customization form, you can share your customization with anyone.

Please DO NOT send a link that break the website. If we detect some attempt to fool users, we will immediately take action against you.

= Troubleshooting =

== The CSS code I wrote is not taken into account ==

At first, check the sourcecode of the BGA page. If your CSS code does not appear there, then the most probable reason is that you did a syntax error in your CSS code, so we didn't take a part of your code into account.

If it appears, then it should be an error in one of your declaration (ex: wrong #id).

Game clock

2015-01-29T14:48:19Z

Sourisdudesert:

[[Category:Help]]
On '''Board Game Arena''' you are playing "live" (real time) or "turn-based" (asynchronously). In both cases, have an allotted delay to play your moves.

Most of the time, your initial delay at the beginning of a game is some minutes (in realtime mode) or some days (in turn-based mode). During each turn, or on specific occasions, you get an additional delay. If you have no more time to play, you will get a "clock" penalty and your opponents can decide to skip your turns.

== Time to think ==

Your allotted time to think is displayed on the right of your player's name. When it's your turn to play, this time is also displayed at the top of the web page.

== Game speed ==

Table administrator can make a choice between some game speed profile (example: fast, normal, slow). There are many speeds for each mode (realtime and turn-based).

The additional amount of time credited each turn depends on chosen game speed profile. Be careful to check game speed before game start to adapt your timing. The interface displays an estimation of the game duration based on recently played game with the same game and speed.

Note: your allotted time to think cannot go higher that your initial time to think. For example, if you start the game with 5 minutes of thinking time, you time will be limited to 5 minutes maximum.

Note: playing without time limit is strongly discouraged, except if you are playing with friends or to discover a new game. Remember that without time limit, you can't skip the turn of a player that is not playing.

== Running out of time ==

As soon as you run out of time (negative clock), you get a clock penalty.

'''For realtime games''':

When a player has a negative clock, his opponents may make him skip his turn. Once this has been done, all following turns are skipped automatically.

When you are in this situation (turns skipped automatically), you can get back in the game by clicking on the dedicated button "get back in this game". Note that you are not allowed to get back in the game if your clock is still negative. However, as all your turn are skipped, it shouldn't take long before your clock become positive again.

If you can't/don't manage to get back in the game before the game end, you will get a "leave" penalty on your profile.

'''For turn-based games''':

On turn-based games, you are warned by email when you are running out of time. As soon as you are out of time, your next turn is skipped.

== Continue the game after a "skip turn" ==

If you are playing in a game where a player skip all his turn, you have 2 options:
* You can continue to play the game until the end. This is recommended. In this case you will win ELO points you deserve for your victory.
* You can abandon the game. All players with a negative clock will accept automatically. In this case, players who leaved the game get an ELO penalty (in addition to a "leave" penalty).

== "My opponent is too slow" ==

Each of us has different expectations on game speed. Please remember that as soon as a table has been set up at a given game speed, each player is allowed to use all his allotted time to think. If you want to play fast, set up or join table with "fast" mode only, but don't force an opponent to play when he has the right to do so.

== "I would like to think a little" ==

If you are in a critical step of the game and want to take some time to think, you can click on the link "I would like to think a little" on the top right of the page.

Thus, your opponents will receive a message and won't be thinking you are away from keyboard.

Clicking on this link is not mandatory, but we encourage its use for courtesy.

Sourisdudesert:

== About "cheating" ==

In the "real life Hanabi", you can talk. That's why we choosed to let the chat open for the online version.

As a consequence, this is very easy to cheat at Hanabi. And as you can imagine, this is very stupid and this has no interest... except for ELO boosting. This is the reason why for this game there is no international ranking (ie: best player, second best player) and no trophies associated to it.

== ELO rating ==
If you are playing with ELO rating on, your ELO may be changed at the end of the game.

Here is how it works:

1) Every player on the team is temporarily considered as having the average ELO rating of the team.

2) The system will generate a bot associated with the score your team has achieved (let’s call it '''Hanabot'''). Hanabot’s ELO rating depends on the variant you are playing (50 cards, 60 cards, 60 cards multicolor), the number of players on the team and, most importantly, your team's score. All Hanabot’s ELO ratings have been set by an experienced player, they are not random or simply proportional to the score/number of players.

3) Your team (actually your team's average ELO) will now compete against Hanabot. The system will calculate your team’s ELO gain/loss as though your team had tied with Hanabot.
If your score is below 18 (50-card game) or below 21 (60-card game), your team is considered as losing against the weakest Hanabot for this configuration (variant and number of players).

FYI, you can find all bots' ELO ratings here:
(available soon)

The 55-card variant (50 cards + 1 of each value in the sixth color) cannot be played with ELO rating on. This is because this variant is highly dependent on draw and a team’s score may not always reflect the players’ skills.

A loss (3 Strike tokens) is the same as a score of 0.

If you achieve the perfect score and this should cost you ELO points, you will be considered as having beaten the bot associated with the score, so that you lose no ELO points.

Sourisdudesert: Protected "Privacy" ([edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite))

To create an account, you need to provide an email, user name and password.
You can also complete your player profile with some other data.

We store this data. Yep. It would be pretty annoying for you to enter it each time you visit ;)

If you are 'internet paranoid' and you never provide any website with accurate personal information, congratulations! You can skip this section.

If you are not, congratulations! You can also skip this section which is intended only for 'internet paranoid' people anyway... It has been written for compliance with some social network authentication policy (take your bet, there is only two - oh, wait, if you are reading this you probably know). Well, to be fair, I could have left it empty too, the only check made by said social network being that the page exists. But, what would have been the fun in that?

If you are still interested to read on some stuff instead of going straight to playing:
* Your password is stored encrypted, but the usual precautionary measures apply. You should use a strong password and not use the same one that for sensitive websites. Some people would say never to use the same password, but this looks like excessive blunt force to the head, except for websites with very sensitive information. Shouldn't be the case on a gaming website, but hey, do as you please.
* We don't share your email with third parties without your consent. Your consent may be implicit in some obvious cases (such as if you take part in a contest with prizes from a publisher, as it will be needed for the publisher to contact you to redeem the prize).
* Your profile information is visible to other players, as well as your gaming history on the website. So, since anyone can create an account on the site, it should be considered public information. But if you use a pseudonym for your username, it shouldn't be easy to link it to your real identity (in case you would be worried about that).

Hope this all sounds reasonable to you, and that you can now enjoy Board Game Arena without second thoughts!

Cheers and doughnuts,

The admins.

Zone

2014-08-06T09:30:52Z

Sourisdudesert:

The Zone component is meant to organise items of the same type inside a predefined space.

== Zone in action ==

If you want to see how Zone works, please try "Can't Stop" or "Niagara" on BGA, or watch a game in progress or game replay.

In Can't Stop, zone is used to display the bhikkus ascending the mountain when there is more than one on the same space (diagonal mode).

In Niagara, it is used to display the canoes over the circles going down the river (custom mode).

== How to use Zone ==

At first, don't forget to add "ebg/zone" as a dependency:
<pre>
define([
"dojo","dojo/_base/declare",
"ebg/core/gamegui",
"ebg/counter",
"ebg/zone" /// <==== HERE
],
</pre>

Then, declare a new variable in your class for the Zone object:

<pre>
constructor: function(){
console.log('yourgame constructor');

// Zone control
this.myZone = new ebg.zone();
</pre>

Now, in your template file, you must add a div that will host this zone:

<pre>
<div id="my_zone"></div>
</pre>

And set its width (and optionnaly, height and position) in CSS:

<pre>

#my_zone {
width: 100px;
}

</pre>

Then in your Javascript setup, attach your Zone component to the div and define its properties :

<pre>
zone.create( this, 'my_zone', <item_width>, <item_height> );
zone.setPattern( <mode> );
</pre>

* <item_width> is an integer for the width of the objects you want to organise in the zone
* <item_height> is an integer for the height of the objects you want to organise in the zone
* <mode> is one of 'grid' (objects will be put on lines from top left to bottom right, wrapping when there is not enough space left on the line) 'diagonal' (objects will be organised on a top left to bottom right diagonal, overlapping each other) or 'custom' (objects will be organised depending upon their number and the coordinates that you provide - see below)

Now your zone is ready to be used!

After creating an object that you want to add to the zone as a classic HTML template (dojo.place / this.format_block), you can simply use:

<pre>
zone.placeInZone( <object_id>, <weight> );
</pre>

* <object_id> is the string identifier for your object 'my_object_id'
* <weight> is an optional parameter used to sort items

To remove an item, use:

<pre>
zone.removeFromZone( <object_id>, <destroy?>, <to> );
</pre>

* <object_id> is the string identifier for your object 'my_object_id'
* <destroy?> is a boolean indicating if the object should be destroyed after being removed
* <to> is the destination the object must be slided to when being removed (before being eventually destroyed)

You can also:
* remove all items from the zone (and destroy them) using zone.removeAll();
* get the number of items in your zone using zone.getItemNumber();
* get an array of the ids of all the items using zone.getAllItems();

== Custom mode ==

If you want complete control on how your objects are laid out inside the Zone, you can determine their coordinates after their number when being added to the zone. Here is how to do it, when defining your Zone properties in the javascript setup:

<pre>
this.zone.setPattern( 'custom' );

this.zone.itemIdToCoords = function( i, control_width ) {
if( i%8==0 )
{ return { x:1,y:19, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==1 )
{ return { x:30,y:38, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==2 )
{ return { x:42,y:8, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==3 )
{ return { x:5,y:58, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==4 )
{ return { x:5,y:24, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==5 )
{ return { x:35,y:43, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==6 )
{ return { x:47,y:13, w:60, h:30 }; }
else if( i%8==7 )
{ return { x:10,y:63, w:60, h:30 }; }
};
</pre>
