-- Player Classes
--

-- NOTE: This is a very simple interface for classes, more features will be
--       added depending on the various mechanisms we will need

-- Global namespace
pclasses = {}

-- API
pclasses.api = {}

-- Configuration
pclasses.conf = {}
pclasses.conf.default_class = "adventurer"
pclasses.conf.save_interval = 3 * 60
pclasses.conf.datafile = minetest.get_worldpath() .. "/pclasses"

-- Classes
pclasses.classes = {}

-- Data
pclasses.datas = {}
pclasses.datas.players = {}
pclasses.datas.hud_ids = {} -- HUD maybe?


-- Various utility functions

-- Get an ID number dedicated to the class
function pclasses.api.create_class_id()
	return table.getn(pclasses.classes)+1
end

function pclasses.api.id_for_class(cname)
	if cname then
		for k,v in ipairs(pclasses.classes) do
			if v and v.name and v.name == cname then
				return k
			end
		end
		return 0
	end
	return nil
end

-- Register the class (basic registration)
function pclasses.api.register_class(cname)
	if not cname then
		minetest.log("error", "[PClasses] Error registering unamed class")
		return
	end

	local c_id = pclasses.api.create_class_id()
	pclasses.classes[c_id] = {name = cname}
	return c_id
end

------------------------
-- Getters and Setters
--

-- Get class specs
--  by id
function pclasses.api.get_class_by_id(id)
	return pclasses.classes[id]
end

-- by name
function pclasses.api.get_class_by_name(cname)
	return pclasses.classes[pclasses.api.id_for_class(cname)]
end


-- Get single player
function pclasses.api.get_player_class(pname)
	return pclasses.datas.players[pname]
end

-- Get all players for a class
function pclasses.api.get_class_players(cname)
	local pnames = {}
	if pclasses.api.get_class_by_name(cname) then
		for p,c in ipairs(pclasses.datas.players) do
			if c == cname then
				table.insert(pnames, table.getn(pnames)+1)
			end
		end
	end
end

-- Set single player
function pclasses.api.set_player_class(pname, cname)
	if pclasses.api.get_class_by_name(cname) then
		pclasses.datas.players[pname] = cname
		return true
	end
	return false
end

---------------------------
-- Backup and load system
--

-- Startup
local pfile = io.open(pclasses.conf.datafile, "r")
if pfile then
	local line = pfile:read()
	if line then
		pclasses.datas.players = minetest.deserialize(line)
	end
	pfile.close()
end

-- Frequent backup
local function save_datas()
	local pfile = io.open(pclasses.conf.datafile, "w")
	pfile:write(minetest.serialize(pclasses.datas.players))
	pfile.close()
	minetest.log("action", "[PClasses] Datas saved")
end

local save_timer = 0
minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)
	save_timer = save_timer + dtime
	if save_timer >= pclasses.conf.save_interval then
		save_datas()
		save_timer = 0
	end
end)

-----------------------------
-- Default class assignment
--
if pclasses.conf.default_class then
	local id = pclasses.api.register_class(pclasses.conf.default_class)
	if id then
		minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
			if not pclasses.api.get_player_class(player:get_player_name()) then
				pclasses.api.set_player_class(player:get_player_name(),
					pclasses.conf.default_class)
			end
		end)
