Board Score Event Total
Total explicit signed score events per player, preserving debits; does not validate game-specific scoring rules.
Description
Total explicit signed score events per player, preserving debits; does not validate game-specific scoring rules.
A score-event total aggregates declared points by player while preserving penalties as negative values.
When to use this tool
Total explicit signed score events per player, preserving debits; does not validate game-specific scoring rules.
- Prepare the supplied eventsJson fields for this operation.
- Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter eventsJson. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
- Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
- Read result.players. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.
Parse eventsJson player/points records, group exact player strings and sum their finite point values.1
| Input field | Meaning and representation | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| eventsJson | JSON text, entered as one text field. The decoded structure is illustrated below; it is not a separate file. | Text |
For the JSON text fields, the following decoded structures show the example records before they are serialized into input strings. Keep field names, list nesting and value types as shown.
[
{
"field": "eventsJson",
"decoded": [
{
"player": "a",
"points": 3
},
{
"player": "a",
"points": -1
}
]
}
]| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named outputs below. |
| result.players | The players list in the ordering and representation described above. |
{
"input": {
"eventsJson": "[{\"player\":\"a\",\"points\":3},{\"player\":\"a\",\"points\":-1}]"
},
"output": {
"result": {
"players": [
{
"player": "a",
"total": 2
}
]
}
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No game rules, event legitimacy, tie-breaking or winner selection is applied. The tool sums the supplied ledger only.
- Every declared top-level field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; ordinary text fields are bounded to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter operation-specific limits where stated.
- Lists are limited to 128 entries. JSON text must meet bounded size and depth checks, and numeric outputs beyond the safe finite magnitude are rejected. Exact large integers use decimal strings.
- Indexes are zero-based and spans have an exclusive end unless explicitly stated otherwise. A valid false, null or empty-list result is distinct from malformed input.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a game-state-aware rules engine when occupancy, legal moves or scoring rules matter. These operations calculate coordinates, local geometry or supplied ledger totals without inferring a complete position.
