completedturn

Completedturn is a term used in some turn-based systems and programming contexts to denote that a player's turn has finished and the system can advance to the next turn. It typically refers to the state, event, or flag that confirms all planned actions for the current turn have been executed, resolved, and their effects applied. In this sense, completedturn signals that there are no outstanding prompts, actions, or pending resolutions tied to that turn.

In practical use, completedturn is usually emitted by the game server or core engine after the following conditions are met: all chosen actions for the turn are validated, effects are applied to the game state, any end-of-turn triggers are processed, and the next player or phase is prepared. It then triggers downstream processes such as advancing the turn order, updating scores or resources, notifying clients, and scheduling the next AI decision or user input window. In event-driven architectures, completedturn can function as a dispatched event that other subsystems listen for to synchronize state across components.

Variants and terminology vary by implementation. Some projects prefer completedTurn, TurnCompleted, or completed_turn, but the essential concept remains the same: an explicit acknowledgment that a turn’s actions are fully resolved and the system is ready to proceed. The exact semantics are defined in each software’s documentation or code, reflecting the game's rules and synchronization model.
