So yesterday I had another session with ChatBT and this time it recommended that I use a Class too resolve the issue. This was:class GameState: ObservableObject { and following that all my variables were marked as @published and many of my lines were change to include the gamestate. i.e: gameState.currentScores[player.playerid ?? ""] = "-0" Now I am afraid, I have no idea what this is all about but it now all works. I will dig deeper into understanding this but I would like to thank Claude31 for his interest and help. Thank you

You are right of course and yes I did ask ChatBT to solve it, but it was always incorrect; so yes many times. I did test it as you asked and I posted above the print out of the code you gave me. I also tried to removed the comments in the line //isGameOver = true to force the case: rule == "Highest score Wins" section to fire off the display with the results and you have guessed it; that then failed and gave me a No One Wins. So I started seeing if I could stop using this isGameOver bool until I absolutely had by using an intermediate variable. let peter = true, then later in the sequence and away from the funtion a test that said: if peter = true { isGameOver = true}. it didn't like that one bit so I removed it. Still looking to try and understand what is happening and I fully accept that I am very new to Swift and xCode so have probably created the problem unnecessarily. Any help would be much appreciated.

the score array holds the player name and their score. This is in this function: private func addRoundScores() { // Update total scores for player in players { if let scoreString = currentScores[player.playerid ?? ""], let score = Int(scoreString) { let currentTotalScore = playerScores[player.playerid ?? ""] ?? 0 playerScores[player.playerid ?? ""] = currentTotalScore + score }//End of let score = Int(scoreString) }// End of for player in players // Store the current round scores rounds.append(currentScores.compactMapValues { Int($0) }) // Clear input fields for the next round currentScores = [:] // Mark that scores have been added hasScoresBeenAdded = true dismissKeyboard() // Hide the keyboard after adding scores There is a n entity called:PlayerDataItem with two Attributes:PlayerID and PlayerName and a declaration: @State private var playerScores: [String: Int] = [:] // Store total scores by playerid (String) MaxScore is not declared anywhere other then in this function so my guess is that is simply replicating the Player Name and Score. If I am honest this bit of code was generated, after a lot of trial and error by ChatBT.

There are a number of views to create game types and players. Also a .xcddatamodeld with the Attributes of the PlayerDataItems. then the code for Scoring is:

Wow, that was incredibly quick response. Thank you. I am sorry to say that that has not fixed it. The crazy thing is that only real difference between the working section and this one is that it is testing for the target being met. Now meeting the target and setting isGameOver to true works, but the getting the name of the player into winner fails. but this is roughly the same code as the working section and the replacement of the == with >= wasn't needed in the "Highest score Wins" code, as it works. Do you have any further ideas I could try?
