  1. Aysnc/Await

Video Board game example

Here's an example of how you can use async/await in the context of a video board game:

async function playGame() {
  try {
    // Fetch game data from the server
    const response = await fetch('https://example.com/game');
    const gameData = await response.json();

    // Initialize the game with the fetched data
    const game = new VideoBoardGame(gameData);

    // Wait for the player to make a move
    const move = await game.waitForMove();

    // Send the move to the server
    await game.sendMove(move);

    // Wait for the opponent's move
    const opponentMove = await game.waitForOpponentMove();

    // Update the game state with the opponent's move
    game.applyMove(opponentMove);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

In the example above, the playGame function is defined as an async function. It starts by fetching game data from the server using the fetch function and the await operator. It then initializes a VideoBoardGame object with the fetched data.

The function then enters a loop where it waits for the player to make a move using the waitForMove method of the VideoBoardGame object. When the player makes a move, the function sends the move to the server using the sendMove method and the await operator.

The function then waits for the opponent's move using the waitForOpponentMove method, and updates the game state with the opponent's move using the applyMove method.

The async/await keywords allow you to write asynchronous code in a synchronous-like style, which can make it easier to read and understand.
