Game material description: material.inc.php

This PHP file describes all the material of your game.

This file is include by the constructor of your main game logic (yourgame.game.php), and then the variables defined here are accessible everywhere in your game logic file.

Example from "Hearts": if you define this in material.inc.php:

$this->colors = array(
    1 => array( 'name' => clienttranslate('spade'),
                'nametr' => self::_('spade') ),
    2 => array( 'name' => clienttranslate('heart'),
                'nametr' => self::_('heart') ),
    3 => array( 'name' => clienttranslate('club'),
                'nametr' => self::_('club') ),
    4 => array( 'name' => clienttranslate('diamond'),
                'nametr' => self::_('diamond') )
);

... you can access "$this->colors" everywhere in your PHP game logic file.
