Write description/ex of receive_match_attributes
#1128
Conversation
Note we only need to do this when the inputs from the match are used to change some other variable. Some other minor tweaks here: - Remove unneeded data file. This was checked in at some point but shouldn't have been. - Remove outdated documentation about repr. This is now done automatically by the parent class. - Make some minor stylistic changes. - PEP8 (column width) - Change to use class hyperlink instead of code syntax highlighting.

Maybe a bit more detail here. After:

+own attributes.
Then:
In principle these attributes could change throughout a match or tournament if the match properties (like the game matrix) change, so we require that this logic live in the
the :code:receive_match_attributes method for correct dynamic updating. Here is how this is done for

Maybe we should work on decreasing the time it takes all the tests to run

That was mainly the purpose of the work I did on #1121.
There I reduced the test runs times on travis - where it's very long - from approx 40 mins to approx 20 mins. (Note that locally the full test suite takes about 10 mins on my small laptop - similar on appveyor.)
Just now it failed on a timeout which would have just been a random event. The 30 minute limit was arbitrary there's no reason not to increase it to 60. It hadn't timed out for a while since #1121 (before that it was essentially timing out every other run) but we'll keep an eye on it.

(Just in case you only read the title of that issue, the rest of the comments there detail the work I went through minimising test suite run time and why I did it there. 👍)
