How to use

Api reference

LobbyMaker

Create, list and join lobbies They can have password or be private (joined by name or id) With the third argument in the constructor you can customize the lobby settings

const { LobbyMaker } = require('matchmaking');

function runGame(players) {
  console.log("Game started with:");
  console.log(players);
}

function getPlayerKey(player){
  return player.id;
}

let lobby = new LobbyMaker(runGame, getPlayerKey);

let player1 = { id:20 }
let player2 = { id:21 }

// Create a room
let id = lobby.createLobby(player1, "Room 0");

// A player joined the room!
lobby.joinRoom(id, player2);

// Lets start the game
lobby.start(id);

// Game started with:
// [ {id:20}, {id:21} ]

FifoMatchMaker

This one is really simple, just push players to the queue, and games will be started automatically!

const { FifoMatchmaker } = require('matchmaking');

function runGame(players) {
  console.log("Game started with:");
  console.log(players);
}

let mm = new FifoMatchmaker(runGame, { checkInterval: 2000 });

let player1 = { id:1 }
let player2 = { id:2 }

// Players join match queue
mm.push(player1);
mm.push(player2);

// When there are enough players, runGame will be called

// Game started with:
// [ {id:1}, {id:2} ]

matchmaking's Issues

Get players in room implementation

There should be a method where we can get the list of players in each room

[Feature Request] Empty Lobbies.

There should be function to create empty lobbies without any players in the beginning. Currently there needs to be player object passed in createRoom.

So when i try to use the fifomm one it just crashes when adding a player to the queue

So basically when a player gets pushed into the matchmaking class thingy it crashes with this error

`C:\Users-\Desktop\Ecard server\node_modules\matchmaking\javascript\matchMaker.js:15 let playerKey = this.getKey(player);
^

Filtering Implementation

Is there any way to filter matchmaking by variables (maps or game modes)
