Android Question Mind as crumbled Need to find the easiest way to get winning player (Solved)

Colin Evans · Monday at 2:06 PM

Hi, my mind is mush, just wondered if someone had a quick way to find the player with the highest score

I have eight players, and at the end of the game the winner is the player with the highest score, i.e.

Player 1 = 122
Player 2 = 78
Player 3 = 142
Player 4 = 67
Player 5 = 43
Player 6 = 156
Player 7 = 77
Player 8 =11

SO how do I specify that in this case Player 6 is the winner, I realise I could have multi what if statements but seems a long way round, any help greatly appreciated

How about something like this . . .

B4X:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    
    Type player(name As String, score As Int)
    
    Dim players As List
    
End Sub

Sub findWinner As player
    Dim winner As player
    Dim highest As Int = -1
    For Each p As player In players
        If (p.score > highest) Then
            winner = p
            highest = p.score
        End If
    Next
    Return winner
End Sub

Put the results in a list and sort the list.

Sort:

Private WinnerList As List
WinnerList.Initialize
WinnerList.AddAll(Array As Int(122,122,78,142,67,43,156,77,11))
WinnerList.Sort(True)
Log(WinnerList)

If you want to get the name of the player, you can use a Map.

I have developed MinimaList library to simplify this.

B4X:

Dim Player1 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 1", "Score": 122)
Dim Player2 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 2", "Score": 78)
Dim Player3 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 3", "Score": 142)
Dim Player4 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 4", "Score": 67)
Dim Player5 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 5", "Score": 43)
Dim Player6 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 6", "Score": 156)
Dim Player7 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 7", "Score": 77)
Dim Player8 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player 8", "Score": 11)

Dim AllPlayers As MinimaList
AllPlayers.Initialize
AllPlayers.Add(Player1)
AllPlayers.Add(Player2)
AllPlayers.Add(Player3)
AllPlayers.Add(Player4)
AllPlayers.Add(Player5)
AllPlayers.Add(Player6)
AllPlayers.Add(Player7)
AllPlayers.Add(Player8)

AllPlayers.SortByKey("Score", False)

Log("The winner is " & AllPlayers.First.Get("Name"))

Found it and it works a treat, many thanks

Many thanks for all the answers, I'm sure all of them would work, this occasion I went with Aeric's option which worked brilliantly

B4X:

Sub GameEnd
    'calc winner
    Dim cPlayer1 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer1.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer2 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer2.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer3 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer3.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer4 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer4.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer5 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer5.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer6 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer6.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer7 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer7.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)
    Dim cPlayer8 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer8.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text)

    Dim AllPlayers As MinimaList
    AllPlayers.Initialize
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer1)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer2)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer3)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer4)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer5)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer6)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer7)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer8)

    AllPlayers.SortByKey("Score", False)

    Log("The winner is " & AllPlayers.First.Get("Name"))
    Log("With a score of " & AllPlayers.first.get("Score"))
        btnSendH.Enabled = False
        pnlExit.Visible = True
    lblWinner.Text = "Player " & AllPlayers.First.Get("Name") & " wins"
End Sub

Thanks again

I believe the second line is getting value from lblPScr2.Text,
third will be lblPScr3.Text, etc...

I told you my mind was mushed, you are correct and so is my code now, many thanks

Hi Aeric, just one problem I noticed if say there were three players and the resulting scores were

Player A = 6
Player B = 41
Player C = 14

the winner should be Player B but the code states Player A is the winner, I'm assuming because the first character is the highest, any idea's, many thanks if you get chance to have a look

Can you show your code for this example?
Are you using String value for the Score?

Try:

B4X:

Dim Player1 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player A", "Score": lblPScr1.Text.As(Int))
Dim Player2 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player B", "Score": lblPScr2.Text.As(Int))
Dim Player3 As Map = CreateMap("Name": "Player C", "Score": lblPScr3.Text.As(Int))

Dim AllPlayers As MinimaList
AllPlayers.Initialize
AllPlayers.Add(Player1)
AllPlayers.Add(Player2)
AllPlayers.Add(Player3)

AllPlayers.SortByKey("Score", False)
Log("The winner is " & AllPlayers.First.Get("Name")) ' The winner is Player B

Check this example.

[MinimaList] Player Scoreboard

This example is a response to this thread. You can click the labels to edit Player's name and score. The results will be showed after click on OK. Player's name cannot be empty. Player's score only allow positive numbers. If all players' score are same then there is no winner. Note: If more...

Hi Aeric, yes I am using string values, your example works but the game allows for 1 to 8 players, so presumably I would need to set the text to 0 for non players in the map

So setting the scores at the start and restart to

B4X:

    lblPScr1.Text = 0
    lblPScr2.Text = 0
    lblPScr3.Text = 0
    lblPScr4.Text = 0
    lblPScr5.Text = 0
    lblPScr6.Text = 0
    lblPScr7.Text = 0
    lblPScr8.Text = 0

and the following now works perfectly

B4X:

Sub GameEnd
    'calc winner
    Dim cPlayer1 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer1.Text, "Score": lblPScr1.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer2 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer2.Text, "Score": lblPScr2.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer3 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer3.Text, "Score": lblPScr3.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer4 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer4.Text, "Score": lblPScr4.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer5 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer5.Text, "Score": lblPScr5.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer6 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer6.Text, "Score": lblPScr6.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer7 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer7.Text, "Score": lblPScr7.Text.As(Int))
    Dim cPlayer8 As Map = CreateMap("Name": lblPlayer8.Text, "Score": lblPScr8.Text.As(Int))
    Dim AllPlayers As MinimaList
    AllPlayers.Initialize
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer1)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer2)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer3)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer4)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer5)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer6)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer7)
    AllPlayers.Add(cPlayer8)
    AllPlayers.SortByKey("Score", False)
    btnSendH.Enabled = False
    btnExitGame.Visible = True
    lblWinner.Text = "Player " & AllPlayers.First.Get("Name") & " wins"
    pnlExit.Visible = True
End Sub

Many thanks for taking the time to sort my problem out,
