One-Way Match

One-Way Offline Multiplayer is our name for Clash of Clans / Boom Beach-style multiplayer. [And yes, we're looking for a better name – suggest one!]

In this very popular form of multiplayer, an Attacker attacks the settlement (base, camp, fort, etc.) of a Defender that is currently offline. The Defender's settlement acts in accordance to how it's been configured – defending itself vigorously using guns, turrets, defencemen, etc. in accordance with the game's rules and the choices he/she has previously made in configuring their settlement.

The API's that work together to enable this form of multiplayer include:

• Finding an opponent to attack via MatchMaking or the Friends API
• Performing the attack using the StartMatch(), CompleteMatch() and CancelMatch() APIs described here
• Recording the events of the attack (so that they may be replayed) using the PlaybackStream API
• Finally, fixing up any opponent-related data after the match has completed (i.e. updating leaderboard positions, virtual currency balances, etc.) – using a custom cloud code script.
