Hi Shane, after a long discussion with Gabriel these are the details I got. Correct me if I misunderstood.
Challenges which don't need opponents to accept the invitation for starting turns
- Needs to set as non-turn based game.
- Must HAVE leaderboard linked to the challenge (else its not advancing for each LogChallengeRequest).
- If player reaches MaxAttempts, the system will check if all the players who ACCEPTED by that time reached maxTurns or not.
- Note that if a person challenges and finishes his turns before others accepting his request, the game will get closed as only one player is available who is in accepted list and completed max_turns. For this we need to auto accept the request in the cloud for opponents.
- The whole challenge will have 1 round* in which each player will have MaxAttempts turns.
Challenges which need opponents to accept the invitation for starting turns:
- This is normal Turn-based game where Match starts once after all opponents accepts the invitations and the one who accepts last will have first chance to play.
- No need of leaderboard to get linked.
- Can consider MaxAttempts as MaxTurns . The Challenge will get closed after MaxAttempts count.
- The whole challenge will have MaxAttempts rounds in which each player will have 1 turn chance.
Round- i mean if two players play a challenge, if both finish their turns its considered one round.
We've renamed "maxTurns" to "maxAttempts", it is still functionally the same. When creating a challenge you can specify how many attempts/turns you will a player to have and if a player reaches this amount of turns, they will be prevented from logging another ChallengeEventRequest against this challenge instance.
If all players reach their max attempts/turns I believe the game may end in a draw. If not it will end in a draw when the end time is met.

Hi Shane,
I tried exactly what you said. I set non-turn based and fixed 2 max attempts. After two attempts also its allowing me to post further. Does LogChallengeEvent updates the turn count/attempt count?

Have you set the specific event to be the Turn/Attempt Consumer in the Challenge in the Configurator. Only the event declared here will consume a turn.
