Modify the Statistical Tic-Tac-Toe program to give specific users
ownership of specific records. Add four more security levels,
convert all but one existing Admin to a Persona of that one Admin,
and consolidate all Random players into one (do not permit creation
of additional random players):
Anonymous:
Has no stats, and can choose only non-human players for player
slots other than itself. All anonymous users share a single anonymous
player record
Persona:
Has stats, but no email address (i.e. no one can log-in as a Persona).
Creator:
Can edit the name, avatar, and email address of their own player
record and any player record they created. They are the only ones
who can view their email address. They can create up to 3 Personas
(via copy of any human), upto 15 new games (via Copy in Release 5).
They can choose Personas they created for player slots other than
the first. Their security can be upgraded by any Admin.
Trainer:
Additionally able to create unlimited games and players of any type,
and to create and run tournaments and comparisons of rule sets. This
security must be restricted because Trainers could create large
amounts of data quickly. A Trainer can stop the Playground clock if
all players are either non-human or created by the Trainer (in this
case, the match is ignored in updating skill-level. Their security
can be upgraded by any Admin.
Admin:
Maximum permissions
All users start logged in as Anonymous, but can create a new Creator
account, and/or log in to an existing Creator, Trainer, or Admin account
(which will be in the “Public Universe)”. To log in, the user provides
an email address, then a temporary code is emailed to that address. When
first creating a player other than Creator, the user may change the
defaulted Universe to a new Universe (with a unique new name) or to an
existing Universe in which the creator of the new player already has a
Persona. A player’s Universe (like type) is forever locked once saved.
Users can invite “Next available” or named players of the same Universe
as the first player to play Tic-Tac-Toe. Play will be delayed until a
matching invitation is issued by the other player(s)–non-human players
will issue matching invitations as soon as they can (Random and Standard
AI can issue one immediately, but continuously-learning or experimenting
bots may have other matches they need to complete first. When inviting a
human to play, the invitation automatically go to the same-named Persona
of the matching Universe (automatically create one, if necessary).
The game dropdown offers one option for each combination of
game this player has played and form of augmentation used.
The “Sign-out” button (fa-sign-out) changes the user to Anonymous
The “Send Code” button (fa-paper-plane-o) sends the temporary
code to the entered email address and changes the avatar to the
one associated with that email address
The “Go” button (fa-arrow-right) uses the entered temporary code
to login to the account associated with the email address. If
there is no account associated with that address, create a
Creator player
