fire does not work when used in other instance or class

[mqu]

hello Nathan,

I can't make "fire" work in second case (classes) in this script : https://gist.github.com/mqu/5228483 ; it works as expected in first case (simple).

can you suggest me something ?

Hey Marc!

Really sorry for not getting back to you sooner - only noticed this issue was here by sheer chance, must've missed the notification!

When you call :fire or :listen on self or @some_object, it'll only fire and listen to other events on self and @some_object, respectively. As a result, on line 44 of your gist, if you change:

self.events.fire(:move)

to

@piece.events.fire(:move)

I think you'll get the behavior you expect. I've forked your Gist as an example, see that at https://gist.github.com/nathankleyn/5487683.

Let me know if I can be of any further help!
