Stupid Simple Matchmaking
=========================

[](#stupid-simple-matchmaking)

PHP Library used for simple equal distance matchmaking, great for Live Service Games!

### Installation

[](#installation)

Simply run `composer require mathmark/stupid-simple-matchmaking` in any PHP project setup with composer!

### StupidSimple\\Game\\Matchmaking

[](#stupidsimplegamematchmaking)

This is where all the magic happens! All our matchmaking functionality is called here.

### Constructor

[](#constructor)

- `private int $clientIpAddress` This is our base Client Address, this is what helps us find a server for a user
- `private ?array $availableGameServers;` This is an array populated with the metadata for our available GameServers

#### The structure should look like this

[](#the-structure-should-look-like-this)

```
[
  {
    "name": "US-PROD-1",
    "ipAddress": "192.168.1.10"
  },
  {
    "name": "CHI-PROD-1",
    "ipAddress": "192.168.1.20"
  },
]
```

### Functions

[](#functions)

- `getRandomServer() : array` This returns an ipAddress & name for a random GameServer available
- `getClosestServer() : array` This is where we utilise our `$clientIpAddress`, this will return an ipAddress & name for a GameServer thats closest to our User/Client

**Note:** If a name isn't provided for the server, one will be generated. **However** this is not recommended as it isn't great for organisation and is not consistent.

### How this works & what is tracked?

[](#how-this-works--what-is-tracked)

Our service uses a trusted web API ([ip-api](https://ip-api.com/)) to get metadata for our client and server (such as Geolocation & CountryCode), it then uses this information to MatchMake our user.

### Example Code

[](#example-code)

```
use StupidSimple\Game\Matchmaking;

$availableGameServers = [
    [
        "name" => "US-PROD-1",
        "ipAddress" => "192.168.1.10"
    ],
    [
        "name" => "CHI-PROD-1",
        "ipAddress" => "192.168.1.20"
    ]
];

$clientIp = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$matchmaking = new Matchmaking($clientIp, $servers);

$closestServer = $matchmaking->getClosestServer();
exit(json_encode($closestServer));
```

#### Example Response

[](#example-response)

`getClosestServer()` && `getRandomServer()` both respectively return this array

```
{
    "serverName" : "US-PROD-1",
    "serverAddress" : "192.168.1.10"
}
```

`getClosestServer()` also returns the distance in the array, `getRandomServer()` does not.

For example:

```
{
    "serverName" : "US-PROD-1",
    "serverAddress" : "192.168.1.10",
    "distance" : "0.00" # measured in miles
}
```

See `StupidSimple\Math\DistanceCalulator` for more information on how the algorithm works!
