## The Final Stitches.

Congratulations! We are in the final stretch! Let's summarize our previous points.

1. [In Episode 01](https://dev.to/valorsoftware/game-n-qwik-episode-01-315g), I introduced you to the Columns Game history and concept.
2. [Episode 02](https://dev.to/valorsoftware/game-n-qwik-episode-02-34f7) is devoted to initial technical points like Bootstrapping, Libraries, and gameplay's first steps.
3. [Episode 03](https://dev.to/valorsoftware/game-n-qwik-episode-03-6fb) is the most complicated and exciting. In this episode, we passed all the mandatory steps to get the natural Qwik Columns gameplay.

Despite the above, our current solution still needs to be finished for the reasons below.

1. A player can set the game on pause.
2. Move the actor somehow immediately to the bottom of the board. This feature is essential because, in many cases, a player has decided on the final actor's color combination, and the player wants to drop it to the bottom immediately. Moreover, the dropping above is preferable to be animated.
3. Provide visual controls "Start," "Stop," and "Pause" as a set of buttons.
4. Provide different customized speeds for the moving actor, like "Slow," "Normal," and "Fast," with related score calculation. Slow speed gives us less score; Fast pace gives us more.
5. Visual end of the game. Currently, we have only "console.log" when the game has finished.
6. UI footer, preferably UI responsive.

Traditionally I'll explain all my modifications step by step. My impatient readers can read and run the final working [solution](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/tree/final-devto-edition).

If you want to trace future steps with me, please use [the destination code from the previous episode](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/tree/step-1).

Let's get started!

### Gameplay changes

First, let's deal with [src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts). Please, read my comments in the code!

Pay attention to the new [Phase](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts#L107)

```typescript
export enum Phase {
  INACTIVE,
  // Pause is ON
  PAUSED,
  MOVING,
  // Drop is requested
  DROP,
  // Drop action is under progress
  FLYING,
  MATCH_REQUEST,
  COLLAPSE_REQUEST,
}
```

and change the main game definition.

```typescript
export interface Game {
  board: ColumnsColor[][];
  actor: Actor;
  phase: Phase;
  // we need to save our current phase before pause
  savedPhase: Phase;
  nextActor: ColumnsColor[];
  score: number;
  // this is a key/value-based score descriptors
  // key describes type of speed, Slow, Normal, Fast
  // value is a related score extent
  scores: { [key: string]: number };
}
```

Pass current speed (Level) to [matching function](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts#L142). It's needed for score calculation.

```typescript
export function matching(
  game: Game,
  // new parameter
  level: Level,
  mark: boolean,
  customBoard?: ColumnsColor[][]
) {
  // ...
  function checkCollapsed(match: boolean[][], mark: boolean): boolean {
    let result = false;
    for (let row = 0; row < rowsQty; row++) {
      for (let col = 0; col < columnsQty; col++) {
        if (match[row][col]) {
          if (mark) {
            board[row][col] = colorsToDisappearHash[board[row][col]];
            // calculate the score according to the level
            game.score += game.scores[level];
          }
          result = true;
        }
      }
    }
    return result;
  }

  // ...
  return checkCollapsed(match, mark);
}
```

[isFinish](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts#L475) should also know about the `level`

```typescript
export function isFinish(game: Game, level: Level): boolean {
  // ...
  if (matching(game, level, false, getNextBoard())) {
    return false;
  }
  // ...
}
```

Add [pause](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game-logic.ts#L617) implementation.

```typescript
export function pause(game: Game) {
  if (game.phase === Phase.PAUSED) {
    game.phase = game.savedPhase;
  } else {
    game.savedPhase = game.phase;
    game.phase = Phase.PAUSED;
  }
}
```

That's it regarding the gameplay definitions. It's time to focus on [src/components/game-play/game.tsx](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx)

There are the expected definitions.

```typescript
// Levels definitions
export enum Level {
  SLOW = "SLOW",
  NORMAL = "NORMAL",
  FAST = "FAST",
}
// Connects levels with the interval speeds in milliseconds
export const SPEEDS = {
  [Level.SLOW]: 1000,
  [Level.NORMAL]: 500,
  [Level.FAST]: 200,
};
// Connects levels with the scores
export const SCORES = {
  [Level.SLOW]: 1,
  [Level.NORMAL]: 2,
  [Level.FAST]: 3,
};
```

Please, look at the following [fragment of code](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L112-L116). We need to draw the actor also if the phase is `PAUSED` and `DROP`.

There are the following changes in the [store](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L159C1-L168C1)

```typescript
export interface MainStore {
  width: number;
  height: number;
  game: Game;
  blockSize: number;
  // Add the level
  level: Level;
  // We need to control intervalId (start, stop).
  // It's important in the context of Controls (see above).
  intervalId: any | null;
  gameOverPopup: boolean;
}
```

and related changed for the initial state.

```typescript
const store = useStore<MainStore>({
  width: 0,
  height: 0,
  game: {
    board: [...initData],
    actor: {
      state: [...initActor],
      column: Math.floor(initData[0].length / 2),
      row: -2,
    },
    // Start from INACTIVE instead MOVING.
    // Now the game is inactive and the user should press Play button.
    phase: Phase.INACTIVE,
    // add this one...
    savedPhase: Phase.INACTIVE,
    nextActor: randomColors(3),
    score: 0,
    scores: SCORES,
  },
  blockSize: 0,
  // initial level will be NORMAL
  level: Level.NORMAL,
  // add this one...
  intervalId: null,
  gameOverPopup: false,
});
```

## An important note regarding Qwik!

At this point, I'd like to interrupt my telling and share one tricky Qwik feature with you. The following information has been taken from the official Qwik documentation.

According to [Qwik Deep Objects](https://qwik.builder.io/docs/concepts/reactivity/#deep-objects)

```typescript
export const MyComp = component$(() => {
  const store = useStore({
    person: { first: null, last: null },
    location: null,
  });

  store.location = { street: "main st" };

  return (
    <section>
      <p>
        {store.person.last}, {store.person.first}
      </p>
      <p>{store.location.street}</p>
    </section>
  );
});
```

> In the above examples, Qwik will automatically wrap child objects person and location into a proxy and correctly create subscriptions on all deep properties.

> The wrapping behavior described above has one surprising side-effect. Writing and reading from a proxy auto wraps the object, which means that the identity of the object changes. This should normally not be an issue, but it is something that the developer should keep in mind.

```typescript
export const MyComp = component$(() => {
  const store = useStore({ person: null });
  const person = { first: "John", last: "Smith" };
  store.person = person; // store.person auto wraps object into proxy

  if (store.person !== person) {
    // The consequence of auto wrapping is that the object identity changes.
    console.log("store auto-wrapped person into a proxy");
  }
});
```

---

Let's continue and move all core logic to a separate [moveTick function](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L228C1-L271C6). Please, read my comments there. Uncommented logic is the same as in the previous episode.

```typescript
// Create a separate function
const moveTick = $(() => {
  const game = store.game;

  // Do nothing if the actor is under dropping, I'll explain it below.
  if (game.phase === Phase.FLYING) {
    return;
  }

  if (game.phase === Phase.MOVING) {
    if (isNextMovePossible(game)) {
      actorDown(game);
    } else {
      endActorSession(game);
      // Pass the level.
      if (isFinish(game, store.level)) {
        game.phase = Phase.INACTIVE;
        store.gameOverPopup = true;
      } else {
        game.phase = Phase.MATCH_REQUEST;
      }
    }
    // If the current phase is DROP.
  } else if (game.phase === Phase.DROP) {
    // We actually don't need to change the current state of the game
    // that's why we create a clone of the game
    const gameClone = clone(game);

    // Calculate how many steps should be passed to reach the bottom.
    let steps = 0;
    // Iterate until the next move is possible.
    while (isNextMovePossible(gameClone)) {
      // Move the actor (on the cloned game) one step down.
      actorDown(gameClone);
      // Increase the steps counter
      steps++;
    }
    // Pass the related steps to the "render" function.
    // It causes the DROP animation running. I'll explain it a bit later.
    reRender(steps);
    return;
  } else if (game.phase === Phase.MATCH_REQUEST) {
    // Pass the level
    const matched = matching(game, store.level, true);
    if (matched) {
      game.phase = Phase.COLLAPSE_REQUEST;
    } else {
      doNextActor(game);
      game.phase = Phase.MOVING;
    }
  } else if (game.phase === Phase.COLLAPSE_REQUEST) {
    collapse(game);
    game.phase = Phase.MATCH_REQUEST;
  }

  reRender();
});
```

Add [doDrop](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L223) function

```typescript
  const doDrop = $(() => {
    if (store.game.phase === Phase.MOVING) {
      store.game.phase = Phase.DROP;
    }
  });
```
 and add the related keys binding

```typescript
  useOnDocument(
    "keypress",
    $((event) => {
      const keyEvent = event as KeyboardEvent;
      const { phase } = store.game;
      if (phase !== Phase.MOVING) {
        return;
      }
      if (keyEvent.code === "KeyA") {
      // ...
      } else if (keyEvent.code === "KeyS" || keyEvent.code === "Space") {
        doDrop();
      } 
      // ...
    })
  );
```

Attention! The part below is the most tricky here. Please, read my comments in the code carefully!

---

It's time to focus on modifications in [reRender](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L195) and [render](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L56) functions.

```typescript
// Just added steps as an optional parameter.
const reRender = $((steps?: number) => {
  render(store.game, svgRef, store.width, store.height, store.blockSize, steps);
});
```

```typescript
export function render(
  game: Game,
  svgRef: Signal<Element | undefined>,
  width: number,
  height: number,
  blockSize: number,
  // New parameter
  passThroughSteps?: number
) {
  // ...
  // Also, render the actor if the current phase is PAUSED or DROP
  if (
    game.phase === Phase.MOVING ||
    game.phase === Phase.PAUSED ||
    game.phase === Phase.DROP
  ) {
    // ...
    svg
      .selectAll()
      .data(actorData)
      .enter()
      .append("g")
      .append("rect")
      // All shapes related to the actor should have "could-fly" class.
      // This class is a fake one and we use it for future animation
      .attr("class", "could-fly")
      // ...
      .attr("stroke-width", 1);

    // We need to run "flying" process if passThroughSteps is existing
    if (passThroughSteps) {
      // Set the phase.
      // Now "flying process" will be simultaneous with the current interval,
      // but the current interval's handler will ignore any activity;
      // see the code under the following comment: "if the current phase is DROP"
      game.phase = Phase.FLYING;

      // This is a good example of D3 animation.
      svg
        // We need to select all shapes includes "could-fly" fake class (the whole actor)
        .selectAll(".could-fly")
        // Run animation.
        // Pay attention! This process is asynchronous!
        .transition()
        // with 700ms duration
        .duration(700)
        // This aim of animation is moving the current actor
        // to the Y-axis destination that equals
        // current actor's Y + passThroughSteps * blockSize.
        .attr("y", (d: any) => d.y + passThroughSteps * blockSize)
        // don't mix with on('end', ...); it doesn't work in this case (D3 feature)
        .end()
        .then(() => {
          // change the state of the game
          // when asynchronous animation process has been finished
          // move the actor down passThroughSteps for the current game
          actorDown(game, passThroughSteps);
          // let's move!
          game.phase = Phase.MOVING;
        });
    }
  }
}
```

Let's briefly repeat the `DROP animation` concept.

1. If the `DROP` action happens, we need to calculate how many steps the actor should fly (animation distance) to reach the bottom.
2. Set the current phase to `FLYING`.
3. Run animation when `Y axis destination (vertical)` of the actor equals `current actor's Y + passThroughSteps * blockSize`
4. Wait for the end of the animation and move the actor down `passThroughSteps`
5. Set the phase back to `MOVING`

That's it about DROP.

---

[useVisibleTask$](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L300C1-L304C6) became much simpler because we moved all of the logic there to `moveTick function` above!

```typescript
useVisibleTask$(({ cleanup }: { cleanup: Function }) => {
  setSvgDimension(containerRef, store);
  // create the interval an save it in the store
  // because we should be able to control this interval outside useVisibleTask$
  // SPEEDS[store.level] describes the current game speed by the level
  store.intervalId = setInterval(moveTick, SPEEDS[store.level]);
  cleanup(() => clearInterval(store.intervalId));
});
```

Some notes regarding [the end](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L306) of the game.

```typescript
useTask$(({ track }: { track: Function }) => {
  track(() => store.gameOverPopup);

  // track gameOverPopup, if it fires then hide it (the related popup) after 5 seconds
  if (store.gameOverPopup) {
    setTimeout(() => {
      store.gameOverPopup = false;
    }, 5000);
  }
});
```

Please, also, look at the related UI part of the code. The HTML block appears only if `store.gameOverPopup` is true. I guess, React guys should be familiar with this technique.

```typescript
{
  store.gameOverPopup && (
    <div class="fixed top-1/2 left-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 -translate-x-1/2 z-50 w-72 text-center max-w-sm p-6 bg-white text-white border border-gray-200 rounded-lg shadow dark:bg-gray-800 dark:border-gray-700 z-50">
      GAME OVER
    </div>
  );
}
```

The time finally came, and I'm glad to provide [the way](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L331) how to use `Controls` components. Don't worry. I'll focus on the component's details a bit later.

```typescript
<Controls
  game={store.game}
  blockSize={15}
  level={store.level}
  onStart$={() => {
    // start the game
    init(store.game);
    store.gameOverPopup = false;
    store.game.phase = Phase.MOVING;
  }}
  onPause$={() => {
    // pause the game
    pause(store.game);
  }}
  onStop$={() => {
    // stop the game
    store.game.phase = Phase.INACTIVE;
    store.gameOverPopup = true;
  }}
  // and also pass other activities
  onLeft$={doLeft}
  onRight$={doRight}
  onSwap$={doSwap}
  onDrop$={doDrop}
  // including the level switching
  onLevel$={(level: Level) => {
    // update the level
    store.level = level;
    // clear the current interval if it's exists
    if (store.intervalId !== null) {
      clearInterval(store.intervalId);
    }
    // re-create the interval
    store.intervalId = setInterval(moveTick, SPEEDS[store.level]);
  }}
/>
```

Here is [Controls](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/controls.tsx) component.

```typescript
import type { PropFunction, Signal } from "@builder.io/qwik";
import { useSignal } from "@builder.io/qwik";
import { component$ } from "@builder.io/qwik";
import * as d3 from "d3";
import type { Game } from "./game-logic";
import { Phase } from "./game-logic";
import { Level } from "./game";

interface ControlsProps {
  game: Game;
  onStart$: PropFunction<() => void>;
  onPause$: PropFunction<() => void>;
  onStop$: PropFunction<() => void>;
  onLeft$: PropFunction<() => void>;

  onSwap$: PropFunction<() => void>;
  onDrop$: PropFunction<() => void>;
  onLevel$: PropFunction<(level: Level) => void>;
  blockSize: number;
  level: Level;
}

// This function is responsible for the "next actor" rendering
export function renderNextActor(
  data: string[],
  size: number,
  svgRef: Signal<Element | undefined>
) {
  // this logic is similar to the logic from
  // https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L56
  if (!svgRef.value) {
    return;
  }
  const svg = d3.select(svgRef.value);

  svg.selectAll("*").remove();

  svg
    .append("svg")
    .attr("width", size)
    .attr("height", size * data.length)
    .append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(0,0)");

  const displayData = data.map((d, i) => ({
    value: d,
    y: i * size,
    size,
  }));

  svg
    .selectAll()
    .data(displayData)
    .enter()
    .append("g")
    .append("rect")
    .attr("x", 0)
    .attr("width", (d) => d.size)
    .attr("y", (d) => d.y)
    .attr("height", (d) => d.size)
    // @ts-ignore
    .attr("fill", (d) => d3.color(d.value))
    .attr("stroke", "#000000")
    .attr("stroke-width", 1);
}

          </div>
        )}
      </div>
    );
  }
);
```

### The Footer

Finally, lets make the last stitch. We need to set the [footer](https://github.com/buchslava/qwik-columns/blob/final-devto-edition/src/components/game-play/game.tsx#L359).

```typescript
return (
  <div class="flex justify-center w-screen h-screen pt-5" ref={containerRef}>
    {store.gameOverPopup && (
      <div class="fixed top-1/2 left-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 -translate-x-1/2 z-50 w-72 text-center max-w-sm p-6 bg-white text-white border border-gray-200 rounded-lg shadow dark:bg-gray-800 dark:border-gray-700 z-50">
        GAME OVER
      </div>
    )}
    <div>
      <svg
        class="game-area"
        width={store.width}
        height={store.height}
        ref={svgRef}
      />
    </div>
    <Controls
    // ...
    />
    <Footer />
  </div>
);
```

Here the component's code.

```typescript
import { component$ } from "@builder.io/qwik";

export default component$(() => {
  // The year of copyright should be dynamic.
  const year = new Date().getFullYear();

  return (
    <div class="fixed bottom-0 left-0 w-full h-8 text-center text-white bg-gray-600">
      // see my comment below
      <span class="hidden lg:inline">
        <span class="text-red-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">C</span>
        <span class="text-yellow-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">O</span>
        <span class="text-green-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">L</span>
        <span class="text-blue-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">U</span>
        <span class="text-teal-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">M</span>
        <span class="text-fuchsia-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-2">N</span>
        <span class="text-lime-500 font-bold font-mono text-xl pr-7">S</span>
      </span>
      <span class="text-sm text-white">
        <a
          href="https://valor-software.com/"
          class="no-underline hover:underline"
          target="_blank"
        >
          Valor Software
        </a>{" "}
        edition. (C) {year},{" "}
        <a
          href="https://dev.to/buchslava"
          class="no-underline hover:underline"
          target="_blank"
        >
          Vyacheslav Chub
        </a>
      </span>
    </div>
  );
});
```

Tailwind classes `hidden lg:inline' there means that we show "C O L U M N S" spans only on large screens. You can gain more knowledge on Tailwind Responsive Design [here](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/responsive-design).

### **PS**: During the game implementation, I got pleasure every moment I faced [Qwik](https://qwik.builder.io/) functionality and documentation.  That's why I want to thank [Builder.io](https://www.builder.io/) for the perfect solution!
