[Help] How to gather world title via room ID?

drunkbnu · 2017-01-13 22:06:50

I'm recreating my old console chat client, this time with an option to browse all available rooms.

		public static void GetRooms () {
			Write ("Gathering rooms...");
			cli = PlayerIO.QuickConnect.SimpleConnect ("everybody-edits-su9rn58o40itdbnw69plyw", "guest", "guest", null);
			RoomInfo[] rooms = cli.Multiplayer.ListRooms ("Everybodyedits" + cli.BigDB.Load ("config", "config")["version"], null, 0, 0);
			Clear ();
			Write (rooms.Length + " rooms available.\nUse up/down arrow keys to browse rooms, Press Enter to select a room.\n\n");
			foreach (RoomInfo room in rooms) {
				Write ("   " + room.Id + " - " + room.OnlineUsers + " users online.\n");
			}
			ReadKey (true);
		}

The code is supposed to show the room ID, and the users online. However, I would like to show the user the room name, since the user is allowed to browse and select their specific room (they don't have to copy any ID).

room.data["name"]
or something

If you are going to answer to the entire topic, why would you quote it?

I was shared the method by capasha, which consists on gathering the name from RoomData.

foreach (RoomInfo room in rooms)
  Write ("   " + room.RoomData["name"] + (room.RoomData["name"].Length < 20 ? new string (' ', 20 - room.RoomData["name"].Length) : "" ) + " - " + room.OnlineUsers + " users online.\n");

Later I'll find my method to alphabetically sort rooms by name, then by online users.

Id use Linq, its not particularly fast or efficient, but is easy to do:

rooms = rooms.OrderBy(some lambda expression e.g. r => r.OnlineUsers or r => r.RoomData["name"]).toArray();

ps not sure if this works as I'm on my phone so didnt test it, but it should
