Implement User "Read Indicator" for Game Messages
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Overview
As a user participating in a Game, when viewing Game Messages, I want an option to click to indicate I have read up to a certain point in the Messages Thread. The idea is basically to implement a bookmark that the User can manually move as they read through the Messages.
The "Bookmarks" will be viewable to the other Players and GM in the Game, but not public Users viewing the Game.
Requirements
The data to track how far along a player is within a game can be stored as a new column on the game_players table.
Simple Mock up
Hey @mikelax
I need a second opinion on naming (names r so hard) the table, considering that we also plan to add a second "bookmark" feature into game messages for players to bookmark any message.
Table candidate names:
- game_message_read_bookmarks
- game_message_read_progress
- game_message_read_indicators
- game_message_progress
- mike_can_think_of_a_good_table_name
@nazar maybe we should stay away from the term bookmark for this feature, as it will then be confusing when we introduce actual bookmarks.
how about a table name of: game_players_progress?
Also, as an option, do you think we should store the attributes in the game_players table? Or is that overloading the use of that table?
