A faster and open license asymmetric multi-team, multiplayer rating system comparable to TrueSkill.
In the multifaceted world of online gaming, an accurate multiplayer rating system plays a crucial role. A multiplayer rating system measures and compares players' skill levels in competitive games to ensure balanced match-making, boosting overall gaming experiences. Currently, TrueSkill by Microsoft Research is a notable rating system, but gaming communities are yearning for faster, more adaptable alternatives.
Here are some, but not all, of the reasons you should drop TrueSkill and bury Elo once and for all:
- Multiplayer.
- Multifaction.
- Asymmetric faction size.
- Predict Win, Draw and Rank Outcomes.
- Per Player Weights
- Partial Play
- 150% faster than TrueSkill.
- 100% Pure Python.
- 100% Test Coverage.
- CPython and PyPy Support.
- 5 Separate Models.
- Fine-grained control of mathematical constants.
- Open License
- Accuracy on par with TrueSkill.
