Details

The persistent banner tracker. This keeps track of the active banner windows persistently. Whenever we save or restore the game's state, this object will be saved or restored along with the state. When we restore a previously saved state, we can look at this object to determine which banners were active at the time the state was saved, and use this information to restore the same active banners in the user interface.

This is a post-restore and post-undo object, so we're notified via our execute() method whenever we restore a saved state using RESTORE or UNDO. When we restore a saved state, we'll restore the banner display conditions as they existed in the saved state.
