8月1日的Warclock应用程序分析

Warclock is a shared clock with points trackers for Wargamers. The app has different setting options for the timer and points trackers functions. Some options are reserved for those who support the app with a coffee. ● Timer function: The main clock function can be used without time limit. By default, the playing time per player is set to 1.5 hours, but can be freely modified. Warclock works like a chess clock. To start the game, the first player presses his timer button, which starts their time countdown. After playing his turn, the active player hands over by pressing his timer button, which then starts the countdown of the opponent timer. A central indicator displays the Rounds (this indicator can be hidden). A simple tap on the indicator adds a round, and it is also possible to scroll the rounds in both directions if necessary. An option allows to display the cumulated game time of the player on each button (in addition to the time countdown). The timer buttons can be customized with the army name of each player, which can be filled in manually or chosen from the army lists available for the 2 most common wargames*. The timer is supplied with an anti-sleep function, which prevents the app from going to sleep by itself, in order to avoid any interruption in the countdown and loss of game time display on the table. By default, if the app is set in the background, the clock continues to run to allow the player to consult its documentation. However, an option allows to invert this behavior by suspending the clock. If necessary, a button within the timer options allows to stop and reset the clock immediately. At the players' choice, a "Pause" button can also be added, in order to suspend the countdown during the game. When one of the timers reaches zero, the hand automatically passes to the other player. At the end of the game time, a panel indicates the end of the game. ● Points trackers: Each player has a set of points trackers (which can optionally be hidden). The bottom trackers keep points for a primary objective (P) and for 3 secondary objectives (S1, S2, S3). At the top of the screen, a first tracker allows you to note the command points (C) and a second one allows you to note the victory points (V), which can be calculated automatically at the end of the game (this option can be disabled). Adding points is done by simply pressing the tracker of your choice, which brings up a drop-down menu allowing you to add 1 to 5 points, remove 1 point, reset the tracker used (RESET) or reset all the points trackers (RES. ALL). The maximum number of points that can be added to the different trackers (primary objective, secondary objectives and commands) can be modified. Starting the clock resets all the point trackers to zero. (*) Warclock can be used for Warhammer AOS© and Warhammer 40.000© games.
