Breaking out of setTimeout loop

Question

I'm having some trouble breaking out of a setTimeout loop.

for (var i = 0; i < 75; i++) {
  setTimeout(function (i) {
    return function () {
      console.log("turn no. " + i);
      if (table.game.playerWon) {
        console.log('Player won');
        // I want to stop the loop now
        // i = 75; didn't work
      }
    };
  }(i), 100 * i);
}

I've read like 100 setTimeout related posts, but can't figure this one out.

edit:

Let me clarify a bit when I'm trying to accomplish.

My game has 75 turns, each turn should take about 500ms, during that turn I want to check if a condition is met and announce that the player won, after the player has won there is no need to continue the rest of the turns.

Answer 1

Instead of setting all those timers, create one continuous timer with setInterval:

var counter = 0;

var timer = setInterval(function () {

    console.log("turn no. " + counter);

    if (table.game.playerWon) {
        console.log('Player won');
    }

    if (counter >= 75 || table.game.playerWon) {
        clearInterval(timer);
    }

    counter++;

}, 100);

If your turns should take 500ms, change that last 100 to 500.
