Changes in the protocol needed to show games info in lobby

[isaac]

I'm trying to code task #2977.

The idea is to show some of the game info before joining the game (i.e., to make up a decission of which game to join).

Some info can go directly in the table:

Name Status Players Turns
Miyo's game On play 3/3 40
Isaac's game Waiting 2/3 20

And less important info can appear as a tooltip when the mouse goes over a game.

Currently, when a players connects to a server and joins the lobby, he/she only receives a gamelist like this:

Code: Select all

[gamelist]
[game]
id="1"
name="miyo's game"
 
[/game]
 
[game]
id="2"
name="Isaac's game"
 
[/game]
[/gamelist]
[user]
name="isaac"
 
[/user]
[user]
name="miyo"
 
[/user]
...

It should be necessary to change the protocol, in order to have the player receiving all the info about the games when he joins the lobby.

Any suggestions or problems?

Thanks
