Game Attempts Model

[sean-dickinson]

Goal

Track game attempts: one play-through of one game by one player

Context

When users go to play a game, a new game attempt is created. The result of a play-through is the outcome of the game. This outcome contains the student's score and the result, which can either be completed with a score or "game over", which means that the player ran out of time and lost the game.

Users can have multiple attempts per game.

A game attempt with identifying token should be created when a game is loaded for a player.

AC

• New game attempt records have a unique token identifier
• A game attempt model is created that belongs to a student and belongs to a game
• A game attempt has a score (integer)

I can pick this one up 👋🏻

also, how do we feel about "attempt" to describe one round / play-through by one player of a given game instead of "session" to avoid ambiguity?

I can imagine a world in which we're tracking a Rails session (authenticated user doing things) playing a game multiple times or playing another game later on with the same session_id. Using attempt_id would keep it clear what is being discussed across contexts.
