Improve 'plays' support

[lcosmin]

• Retrieve the other items (expansions, etc.) when listing plays, not only boardgames
• Add support for getting the players of a play session

I mentioned this on BGG but thought I'd add it here, too. It would be cool to get player scores and location for the play sessions.

[lcosmin]

@mad4hatter : could you try the latest release (0.7.0) please?

[mad4hatter]

That mostly works! I think there may be a limit to the scores, though? I logged a eurorails game where the scores were in the millions and it lists all of the scores as 0.0. Just an FYI.

[lcosmin]

Hmm.. truth is that I only tested with retrieving the plays of an user, not a game. I'll take a look. Thanks!

[lcosmin]

@mad4hatter : I've listed the plays for a few games and the most of them don't have any score (it's empty), while others have things like "49-46ish", "36, 42", as score.
I guess this is what happens when you use the field as string and let people put whatever they want in there. 😄 I'll have to adjust my code not to try to interpret that value as a number and just return whatever junk the API returns.

Please could you add documentation for the Plays module when you have time?

[lcosmin]

I don't have much energy to work on this project lately... I will get back to it, eventually (especially since the refactoring is not finished), but I can't really say when. I don't think it will be very soon though, sorry. 😞

[mcgriffiths]

OK thanks! Hopefully I can figure out how to use it for myself :)

[lcosmin]

It shouldn't be very hard:

@qwertymartin I wrote a quick script using this to pull my plays into Google Sheets. I posted about it on BGG -- maybe it'll help you? If you have any specific questions, I can try to help. Just message me here or on BGG!
