Matchmake

Overview

Matchmake is an ongoing project aimed at implementing a player matchmaking system using an AVL tree for efficient player ranking and matching. This project is currently in development and demonstrates the use of advanced data structures in Zig.

Project Structure

The project consists of three main files:

1. main.zig: The entry point of the application.
2. avl.zig: Implementation of the AVL tree data structure for player ranking.
3. build.zig: The build configuration file for the Zig compiler.

Current Functionality

main.zig

The current main.zig file generates a set of 10,000 random players with scores and writes them to a JSON file. This serves as a data generation step for testing the AVL tree implementation.

avl.zig

avl.zig contains a comprehensive implementation of an AVL tree tailored for a leaderboard system. It includes the following key features:

• Player struct with name and score
• AVL tree node structure
• Insertion, deletion, and search operations
• Tree balancing methods
• Utility functions for traversal and player ranking

build.zig

The build.zig file configures the build process for the project. It sets up the main executable and includes the AVL module.

Building and Running

To build and run the project:

1. Ensure you have Zig installed (tested with version 0.13.0).
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Run the following command:

zig build run

This will compile the project and run the main application, which currently generates a players.json file with random player data.

Ongoing Development

This project is actively being developed. Future plans
