TONKnown as The Open Network or Telegram Open Network, is a blockchain platform.
Telegram Mini GameTelegram Games are small game applications that run entirely within the Telegram app. There is no need to download; click to play.
Skill to WinThe rules of the game rely on the player's ability to win through skill.
Earn from TournamentsThis refers to a business model where developers earn revenue by holding tournaments.
IAAThe profit model of watching ads in games is called In-app Advertising.
IAPThe profit model of in-game payment, also known as Pay to Win, is referred to as In-apps Purchase.
WalletBeyond the simple transfer and collection of crypto assets, a digital wallet - also referred to as a Crypto Wallet - offers a range of valuable functions. Among them are the management of private keys, visualizing encrypted assets, verifying identities, interacting with smart contracts, and even enabling social networking.
Wallet AddressWhen we generate a crypto wallet, we actually generate a private key through a series of algorithms, and use this private key to generate a public key and form a key pair. Think of the private key as your wallet's password, while the wallet address is the account that others use to send assets to you. While you can share your wallet address publicly, it's crucial to keep your private key confidential and not share it with anyone.
USDTA cryptocurrency called Tether (USDT) is pegged to the US dollar. 1 USDT is equal to 1 US dollar.
EntryOn MiniTon, you only need to pay fees to enter a game. This fee is used to buy a ticket, which can be paid with points, fiat currency, or cryptocurrency.

Web2.0Web3.0
Action ClientSmart Mobile DeviceAR/VR, Robotics
Action ModelBig DataAI
RelationshipUGCBlockchain
The way we acquire information is undergoing a fundamental shift from variable to fixed costs, and this is a pivotal moment for information systems. Large Language Modes and Apple Vision Pro are accelerating this transition from Web2.0 to Web3.0. As information becomes more efficient, we are seeing significant changes in the demands and trends of human-to-human and human-to-data relationships. Blockchain technology can effectively meet the reform requirements of organizational relationships in the next information age: Web3.0. ### Crypto's Most Significant Narrative: Transition Web2.0 Users into the Web3.0 World Despite the potential benefits of blockchain technology, there are still various challenges that hinder its widespread use. These include difficulties with deposit funds, gas fees, and the need to remember complex mnemonic phrases. Additionally, there is a lack of user-friendly products in the Crypto industry that can replace the ease of use and accessibility of Web 2.0 applications. Simply relying on investment value is not enough to retain users or accurately convey the value of Crypto. ### Crypto Game has Proven to be An Effective Way to Boost Crypto Adoption Blockchain games like Axie and StepN have been effective in transitioning numerous Web 2.0 users into Crypto users. However, it is not feasible to rely solely on the investment value of products without a viable business model to convert Web 2.0 users into Web 3.0 users in the long term. *** ## Problem: Old Business Models for Games Don’t Work > We have observed that this issue is currently the most significant challenge in the gaming industry, encompassing both Web2 games and blockchain games. ### For Gamers
IAA GameAds interrupt gameplay
IAP Game Pay-to-win locks users out of fun
### For Developers

Cost

Acquisition cost(CPI) increased by 3000%+ in the last 9 years

MonetizationPlay-to-earn is not sustainable for blockchain games.IAA and IAP have caused disruptions to the user experience.
*** ## Opportunity: Telegram Mini-Game & TON ### Developers eager to join TON & Telegram In-chat mini-games represent a new growth opportunity within the gaming industry. They offer developers a fresh market growth approach while simultaneously reducing development costs. > Even for natively produced small games, the development cycle and cost can be reduced to at least 50% of that of mobile game apps. Under the same delivery effect, the R\&D payback cycle of mini-games is shorter.
For example: an RPG mobile gameNative version H5 version
Development cycle / Month6 - 103 - 4
Development cost / Million USD0.7 - 1.5 0.15 - 0.3
Product lifecycle / Year1.5 - 2 1.5 - 2
### In the Telegram & TON platform, the Marketing & Monetization support is insufficient > During April 2023 to August 2023, MiniTon team attempted to persuade 6 game studios to release TON-based blockchain games, but were not successful. The core reason was insufficient Marketing & Monetization support.

  • The Telegram Ads Platform cannot provide precise marketing.
  • Telegram and TON both lack a market growth platform for games. It is hard to find game users.
  • Precise Marketing Platform: WeChat Ads
  • Gaming Platform: "Discover" - "Game"
Monetization
  • IAP: WeChat Pay

*** ## We Chose to Build A TON-based Market Growth Platform for Game Developers {% hint style="info" %} We have strong confidence in the future of the TON and Telegram. Our goal is to make TON one of the top choices for game developers. {% endhint %} To seamlessly achieve our goals, we have devised two key strategies.

Content

Focus on casual competitive games suitable for experiencing and spreading within super mobile applications.

Monetization

Implement a proven robust Earn-from-Tournaments monetization model for gaming developers.
The decisions outlined above have been validated: * Casual competitive games lead the way in the best-selling of WeChat Mini Games. * SkillZ, a publicly traded U.S. company, has verified that the Earn-from-Tournaments business model is four times more efficient in monetization compared to traditional models. We believe that game developers, through MiniTon, can: * Enter TON and Telegram ecosystems at a low cost. * Quickly tap into the potential of the TON and Telegram ecosystems. As a result, game developers in the future will continue to provide a lot of games for the TON ecosystem. *** ## Market Size: Tens of Billions **US Dollars**
In 2021, the GMV of tournament platform SkillZ (NYSE: SKLZ) was 2.4 billion US dollars.
In 2022, the market size of the main competitive games — Board & Card was 27 billion US dollars.

In 2021, monthly advertising spending on WeChat Mini Games exceeded 150 million US dollars.

As of May 2023, there are more than 300,000 WeChat Mini Game developers.

# Social Esports: Flexible and Compatible ## Competition Process
# Entry Fee Every match requires a ticket payment to participate. The payment currency is determined by the tournament host, which includes: * Toncoin * Points * In-game items or NFTs * Game tokens * USDT {% hint style="info" %} By Q4 2024, MiniTon will expand game tokens for entering tournaments. The community will decide, through a voting process, which Crypto Tokens can be utilized for entering the tournament. {% endhint %} *** **Payment methods:** * [Telegram Payment](https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments) * [TON Wallet Bot](https://t.me/wallet) *** **When to Pay Entry Fee:** * Players must ensure that their account balance is sufficient before they choose tournaments. * After completing opponent matching, the platform deducts the Entry Fee from the player's account balance. {% hint style="info" %} The ticket fees paid by players constitute one of the sources of the match prize pool. Upon completion of player matchmaking, all ticket fees are securely locked in the smart contract until the end of the tournament. {% endhint %} # Prize ## Bounty Sources Every match features a **prize pool**, and the sole method for players to earn from it is by defeating their opponents through individual (or team) gaming skills. Those who prevail through skillful play claim the bets made by the defeated players. In cases where a competition additionally offers prizes distributed according to specific ranking criteria, players meeting these criteria can also share in the prize pool. **Prize pools** are funded by: * Player ticket purchases * Sponsorships from third parties (developers, MiniTon, advertisers, etc.) In addition to the prize for each match, some tournaments(i.e., Private Tournaments hosted by MiniTon users) also feature a **Bonus Pool**. Players can earn rewards from the **Bonus Pool** by completing a series of matches and participating in specific tasks. *** ## Type of Prize Prizes can take the form of: * In-game items or NFTs * Game tokens * USDT * Toncoin The type of prize corresponds one-to-one with the currency used for player ticket purchases. > For example, if tickets are bought with Toncoin, the prizes will also be in Toncoin; if tickets are purchased with $AXS (Axie's token), the prizes will be in $AXS. {% hint style="info" %} Please note: if tickets are purchased with a bank card using US dollars or any other national currency, the prize will be in USDT tokens. {% endhint %} *** ## Prize Fulfillment {% hint style="info" %} All prize distributions are determined by smart contracts, and comprehensive records of all match data and prize fulfillment are permanently stored on the blockchain. {% endhint %} Automated reward distribution occurs when the following four conditions are met: * Player is entitled to rewards based on match rules and results. * Match data is securely recorded on the blockchain through smart contracts. * Platform anti-cheating systems confirm the absence of any illicit activities during the match. * Players manually confirm the match results. # Types of Tournaments For each game, there are several types of tournaments that can be established. A tournament is made up of one or more matches. A tournament can only be associated with one single game.

TypeDescriptionVS Type
Standard TournamentsThese are the “standard” type of tournament, pitting two players directly against each other in a winner-take-all competition. Most MiniTon games implement this kind of tournament, and they’re the best kind when still in the process of building up your player population.1 v 1
Multiple Player TournamentsIn Multiple Player tournaments, you can have 3-10 players compete for the best score in the game. As in Head to Head, a lone winner takes all of the proceeds. These tournaments are best suited for games with large player populations, as more players are needed to fill in these games. 1 v N
Bracket TournamentsIn bracket tournaments, a group of players will compete in a series of rounds. The player who loses each round is eliminated, and the winner proceeds to compete against other winners. This process continues until only one player remains as the final winner. These types of tournaments are best suited for games that have a large player population since more players are needed to fill these games.N v N
# Match Rules ## Event Structure Different types of events have distinct rules. In both "Standard Matches" and "Multiplayer Matches," each match follows these rules: | Event Rules | Standard Matches & Multiplayer Matches | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Maximum Matchmaking Duration** | 30 seconds | | **Maximum Pre-match Preparation Duration** | 600 seconds | | **Timeout without Participation after Successful Matching** | Match remains valid, score set to 0, non-refundable Entry Fee | | **Determination of Victory or Ranking** | Based on the highest score | | **Tiebreaker for Players with Equal Scores** | Players compete again until scores differ | | **Timeout for All Players without Participation** | Match remains valid, all players score 0, non-refundable Entry Fee | ## Quit Scenarios

Esports tournaments organized by MiniTon users are called "**Social Tournaments**" or "**Private Tournaments**," representing one of the tournament types on MiniTon. ## Value Proposition The social tournament feature provided by MiniTon is a public service that holds two fundamental values: **For Gamers:** 1. Empowering all players to organize and host social esports tournaments. 2. Social tournaments may offer more attractive competition rules and prize structures compared to official open tournaments. **For Game Developers:** 1. Leveraging social virality, social tournaments can rapidly attract more players through social invitations. 2. Creating a network effect fosters the rapid dissemination of game content and expands the user base. ## Participants in Social Tournaments Social Tournaments work like room-card features in traditional card games. MiniTon adds an innovative investor mechanism to the room-card feature.

## How to Become a Host Players can host tournaments upon meeting the following two conditions: 1. Stake MiniTon Token $MTC 2. Pay MiniTon Token $MTC The number of matches a tournament can organize depends on the amount of $MTC staked. The more token is staked, the more matches can be conducted. The total investment limit for investors in the tournament is determined by the amount of $MTC paid. If a higher amount is paid, the cap on the **bonus pool** for investors will be higher as well. ## How to Become an Investor Any MiniTon player can become an investor in a social tournament by purchasing the **Sponsor Key** for that tournament. ### Sponsor Key and Bonus Pool The funds used by investors to purchase Sponsor Keys will be locked in the **bonus pool** contract. **Bonus pool** provides liquidity for Sponsor Key transactions and facilitates prize distribution to players. {% hint style="info" %} **The price of Sponsor Keys = (S^2)/M** ***S** is the number of investors holding Sponsor Keys in the tournament* ***M** is a constant set by the organizer.* {% endhint %} The first purchaser of the Sponsor Key is the organizer. The organizer needs to set a lock-up period for the bonus pool, which must be at least 3 days before the end of the tournament. Before the lock-up begins, Sponsor Keys can be freely traded. After the lock-up starts, Sponsor Keys can no longer be freely traded. The funds remaining in the sponsorship pool will be distributed to eligible players according to the rules set by the host. ### Profitability for Investors The profitability for investors depends on their assessment of the investment cost and potential future returns. Clearly, the more gamers participating in the invested tournament and the higher the ticket revenue, the greater the potential returns for investors. Essential factors must be considered when deciding whether to invest in a social tournament: * The organizer's ability to host financially viable tournaments. * The attractiveness of the tournament rules and profit distribution rules set by the organizer. * The potential for future growth and revenue generation for tournaments that still need to scale. * For already scaled tournaments, the decision should be based on the generated revenue and whether the current data indicates profitability. ## Win-win Goals Based on the rules, the shared goal for all roles (host, investor, gamer, and MiniTon) is to attract more players to participate in the tournament, creating a network effect. The revenue for all roles can be increased by continually inviting friends to participate, thereby enhancing individual earnings. Through social tournaments, MiniTon creates a win-win ecosystem, offering unique revenue opportunities for investors, gamers, and hosts, fostering the social and competitive vitality of MiniTon. # Developer Solution ## MiniTon SDK #### Value Proposition * Empowering developers with the rapid capability to host social esports events and profit from organizing "esports competitions." #### Features * Real-time Synchronous/Asynchronous player matchmaking based on skill levels * Random number * Anti-cheat * Predictive and advisory adjustments to game parameters * A/B test * Real-time language translation * Tracking and measurement The SDK also plans to integrate commonly used TON API and Telegram API to reduce the cost of developers entering the TON and Telegram. {% hint style="info" %} Follow the [**SDK Integration Guide**](/developer-success/miniton-gaming-sdk), and quickly go live with MiniTon. {% endhint %} ## **Developer Console** The developer dashboard is a visual game/event management console. Within the developer dashboard, developers can: * Visually configure game parameters, such as ticket payments, prizes, match duration, real-time or asynchronous, tournament types (Head to head, Multiple Player, Bracket), difficulty settings, achievement rewards, and more. * Visually set up and track marketing campaigns. * Visually track and analyze data. * Manage user lifecycles. * Conduct an A/B test. ## **New Business Model** Developers gain the ability to profit through hosting "esports competitions", a proven and more efficient monetization model compared to IAA and IAP.
## **Community-Based Liquidity Support** #### **Game Token Swap** * If game developers release a game token on the TON, they can apply for free liquidity provision: MiniTon grants [MiniTon tokens](/about-miniton/sustainable-business-model#miniton-coin-mtc)($MTC) at no cost, which can be paired with developers' game tokens, reducing the cost of developers establishing liquidity pools. Developers can establish initial liquidity without depositing USDT. #### **Using Game Tokens for Participation** * In Q4 of 2024, MiniTon will enable players to use specific game tokens issued by the games to enter a match, making it a valuable use case for game tokens and aiding developers in gaining liquidity. * The decision on which game token can be used to purchase tickets will be determined by a community vote. ## **Community-driven Viral Growth** * High-quality content can gain [community support](/builders/community) through early activities like trial runs, leading to recommended platform traffic upon launch. * High-quality games can attract a significant number of community players to create tournaments. * Player-sharing actions can earn MiniTon incentives, accelerating the viral spread of high-quality games. * Community users can watch real-time broadcasts of every match. ## **Diverse Marketing Channels and Precision Marketing Service** * MiniTon advertising space * MiniTon task incentive system * Various player communities * Advertising within other games # Sustainable Business Model ## Why Sustainable * Diverse liquidity income: multiple revenue streams. * Broad and extensive target audience, encompassing Web2 users, Crypto users, Web2 developers, and Web3 developers. * Low dependence on external resources (such as game quality) and market cycles. * High monetization potential due to widespread popularity: The "Earn-from-Tournaments" model can reach a maximum of 16%, far exceeding the industry average payment rates(2%) for in-app purchases in traditional gaming. ## Stable Income ### Revenue #1 When MiniTon organizes a competition, it deducts a commission percentage from each player's ticket purchase. Player tickets may be paid in fiat currency, stablecoins, or game tokens. MiniTon's revenue may be in fiat currency, stablecoins, or game tokens. The diversity of revenue currencies will enhance MiniTon's financial robustness.

* Note: All dollar amounts are just for illustrative purposes

### Revenue #2 All the Ads Spaces listed on the [MiniTon platform](/about-miniton/competitive-gaming-platform) are NFT. Any user can obtain the right to use an advertising space by staking MiniTon token and paying a designated rental fee.

*** # Tokenomic $MTC We aim to fill the gap in game marketing and monetization support for Telegram and **TON** with MiniTon. Our goal is to attract developers to join Telegram and **TON** while adhering to principles of **decentralization**, **fairness**, **sustainability**, and **scalability** in our operations. The MTC token serves as a means of achieving decentralization and self-governance within MiniTon. It includes mechanisms for governance and financial incentives that aim to promote the growth of the MiniTon ecosystem and align with user interests. Our goal is to unite all token holders under a shared vision for the future of MiniTon. ## MiniTon Coin (MTC) As the governance token of MiniTon, MiniTon Coin ($MTC) is built on the **TON Jetton**, serving as the foundation for MiniTon development and governance.
## Use Cases Stake $MTC to get vote-escrowed $MTC，ve$MTC holders can participate in governance and earn incentives. > ve$MTC will be implemented on the TON. ### Governance ve$MTC holders can * Vote for the game that will get initial traffic support * Determine the incentives & developer profit sharing * Rate on games, bet eSport * Create tournaments ### Reward * ve$MTC holders will get rewards through staking, voting, and other engagements. * Reward outstanding developers * Reward community members who invite friends to join MiniTon {% hint style="info" %} Only ve$MTC holders can share MiniTon’s growth incentives {% endhint %} > ve$MTC cannot be transferred. The only way to obtain veMTC is by staking MTC. The maximum lockup period is four years. Locking up 4,000 MTC for four years provides an initial balance of ve$MTC. > > A user's veMTC balance linearly decreases as the remaining time for MTC to unlock decreases. For example, the veMTC amount provided by locking 4,000 MTC for one year is the same as locking 2,000 MTC for two years or locking 1,000 MTC for four years. > > The maximum lockup period is four years. The formula is outlined as follows: > > MAXTIME = 4 \* 365 \* 86400\ > unlock\_time < (block\_time + MAXTIME) veMTC\_amount = MTC\_locked\_amount / MAXTIME \* (unlock\_time - block\_time) In addition to participating in governance and earning incentives through ve$MTC, $MTC has the following uses: ### **Consumption** * Qualify for organizing competitions or creating private tournaments by staking $MTC. * Redeem benefits/NFT * Increase the invite commission available during viral spread. * Rent Ads Space * Get on-chain random number ### Swap * Exchange for tokens issued by games listed on the platform. ## **How to Acquire $MTC** * Purchase through CEX/DEX * Earn $MTC through staking, voting, and other engagements. ## **Inflation Control** * MiniTon will periodically repurchase $MTC. * MiniTon will periodically burn held $MTC. * The functionality of $MTC will be subject to community suggestions and undergo voting for future additions or modifications. ## $MTC Allocation #### The MiniTon Coin ($MTC) has a total supply of 100,000,000 (one hundred million). #### The overall allocation of **MPC** is as follows:

# Community ## Community is The Most Effective for Discovering Good Games The law of social operation tells us that the most effective help for most people to make choices is passed on by others, especially in the transmission of cultural and entertainment information. A good reputation and recommendations from real players are more meaningful than individual centralized reviews. ## Community Mechanism **MiniTon** mainly draws on the valuable experience of Discord from the United States, Douban and TapTap from China. The core mechanism of the entire community is as follows: ### **Mechanism #1** **Use decentralized \ and \ monitored by cloud game technology to jointly measure a \. \ determines the ranking and exposure of the game.** #### **Player Evaluation** * **MiniTon** believes in the power of the masses, the judgment of the majority, and the wisdom of numbers. The community adopts decentralized autonomous management. All game content, UGC content, classification, screening, and ranking are generated and determined by players holding $**MTC**. Give a comment "useful," and its ranking will automatically rise; post "my daughter's favorite" to a game, and it will appear in the label category of the entire community. * Players who have experienced the game and have a ve$MTC can evaluate the game. By staking $MTC, players can comment on the game, score, mark "expected", "recommended" or "not recommended", etc. * The community is composed of players, developers, and media professionals. It produces new game information and high-quality UGC discussion content to attract players to communicate here. By staking $MTC, players can "excite" or "deduct points" for each piece of UGC content. UGC content can better reflect the effectiveness of the content through majority voting. * For new games that have not yet been launched, by staking $MTC, players can use functions such as "new game reservation" and "game test" to experience new games, post reviews, and promote game improvements for the first time. Games without \ also have a chance to get an initial evaluation. * The community strictly governs robots and the shillers. The founding team formulated the relevant rules early and then continuously optimized through the joint voting of community players to ensure that player evaluations were authentic evaluations. * Player evaluation behavior and UGC creation behavior are the fundamental behaviors on which the community depends. Therefore, the tokenomic has focused on relevant investment to motivate players' related behaviors. #### **Game Performance Data** * The algorithm will focus on \, \, \, \, \, and \. These indicators have been widely used in traditional games and are recognized as an objective and quantitative indicator of how fun a game is. * To prevent deception, the community uses cloud gaming technology to monitor the authenticity of game performance data. ### **Mechanism #2** Make it easier for good games to gain exposure and more revenue, and encourage good developers to create more good games. Game content recommended based on and will receive more exposure and support from MiniTon: #### Token Grant * Free to get $MTC support for game token swap. #### Traffic Grant * Get free traffic exposure. This traffic recommendation strategy uses TikTok’s traffic pool algorithm. # DAO Governance Through decentralized governance design, MiniTon is bound to be better. {% hint style="info" %} We plan to transfer MiniTon's governance rights to the DAO governance model once these criteria are met: * [ ] The project achieves a user base of 50 million. * [ ] The project's business model is substantiated with evidence of sustainability, marked by consistent revenue growth and profitability. * [ ] All the functional design outlined in this white paper is successfully implemented. * [ ] A minimum of 50% of the tokens allocated for distribution to investors and teams has been released. {% endhint %} Before fully transitioning to the DAO governance model, MiniTon will conduct experiments and explorations related to DAO governance. ## Sub-DAOs in Multiple Forms All current centralized guilds, communities, and clubs can gradually transition into a DAO. **MiniTon** will provide support to the decentralization progress to all the above organizations. All of the guilds and DAOs will become sub-DAOs of **MiniTon** after joining **MiniTon**. **MiniTon** will become a collection of sub-DAOs and these sub-DAOs will be the cells of **MiniTon**. ## Provide Technical Support to Sub-DAOs **MiniTon** will provide support for the transformation of traditional centralized organizations to DAO. The **MiniTon** community is the product that will support the DAOs from the beginning. The **MiniTon** community carries the relationship and communications among members. **MiniTon** will provide convenient and effective DAO governance modules for all sub-DAOs, such as NFT, proposal function, voting function, publicity function, etc. ## The Governance of DAO and Sub-DAO in **MiniTon** **MiniTon**'s DAO governance is participated by all users holding tokens and sub-DAOs. The governance of the sub-DAOs is governed by the users holding tokens within the sub-DAOs. Players can make adjustments and vote on all the product designs, operation strategies, and rules in **MiniTon**, through **staking $MTC**. **MiniTon** involves the maintenance of multiple relationships, including guilds, players, investors, and game developers. In order to maintain a balance of relationships, **all members holding $MTC can participate in the governance decisions of MiniTon**, which believes in the power of the people, the judgment of the majority, and the wisdom of numbers. **MiniTon** utilizes several algorithms and smart contract rules internally. By decentralizing governance and allowing players to exercise voting rights on key decisions, many rules can be made beneficial for more content to emerge and more users to participate. Some of the key algorithmic rules, for example, are: * Player matching algorithm * Player skill rating algorithm * Anti-cheating algorithm * Final Evaluation Scoring Algorithm for Game Quality * A Dynamic Relational Algorithm for Game Quality and Ranking * New games get marketing-backed traffic pool algorithms * Algorithm for earning rewards for players after content creation and evaluation # MiniTon Developer Documentation # Set Up Core Loop & Gameplay ## Overview Below, we walk your through the core elements of setting up your core loop and gameplay on MiniTon. Beginning with starting a match, reporting a score and eventually getting back to the MiniTon BOT. By the end of this article, you will have a complete core loop allowing you to fully test a standard MiniTon match. ## Launching Your Gameplay When MiniTon launches, it will take control of the user experience. The player will start a match and MiniTon will notify the game. At this point, control is given back to your game to start the match gameplay. The examples below illustrate how to handle starting a match. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} You should have previously implemented the `MiniTon Manager`. The `OnMatchWillBegin` extra logic function specified in the `MiniTonManager` can be used to: 1. Clear any previously stored match settings 2. Retrieve the Match object and utilize it to set gameplay parameters 3. Load your game scene, if you have specified a `Game Scene` in the `MiniTon Manager`. {% code title="ExtraLogic.cs" %} ```csharp // ... public void OnMatchWillBeginExtraLogic(Match matchInfo) { //Extra Logic Here } // ... ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} You should have previously implemented the MiniTon Manager. The `OnMatchWillBegin` extra logic function specified in the MiniTonManager can be used in JavaScript as follows: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have an instance of MiniTonManager and a matchInfo object // This function should be called when the match is about to begin function onMatchWillBeginExtraLogic(matchInfo) { // Extra Logic Here // Clear any previously stored match settings // Retrieve the Match object and utilize it to set gameplay parameters // Load your game scene if you have specified a Game Scene in the MiniTon Manager } // Usage example const MiniTonManager = new MiniTonManager(); // Replace with actual initialization code const matchInfo = getMatchInfo(); // Replace with code to retrieve match info onMatchWillBeginExtraLogic(matchInfo); ``` {% endcode %} The `onMatchWillBeginExtraLogic` function should be called when the match is about to begin, and you can implement your extra logic inside it. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Completing Gameplay ### Submit Score To ensure that both asynchronous and synchronous gameplay proceeds optimally, the score for the match should be submitted immediately using `SubmitScore` when the match ends, regardless of any remaining player input necessary to reach the match results screen. The score submission should be handled in the background without any explicit action by the player necessary to proceed. The `SubmitScore` method is expecting three values - a score as well as Success and Failure Callbacks. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} You should report the final score from a script that controls your game scene {% code title="logic.GameManager.cs" %} ```csharp using MiniTon; using UnityEngine; public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour { void SubmitScore() { MiniTonCrossPlatform.SubmitScore(GetScore(), Success, Failure); } void Success() { Debug.Log("Success"); //Return to the MiniTon } void Failure(string reason) { Debug.LogWarning("Fail: " + reason); //Fallback score submission } } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} To achieve optimal gameplay flow in JavaScript for both asynchronous and synchronous gameplay, you can submit the match score immediately using the `SubmitScore` method when the match ends, without requiring explicit player input to proceed. The `SubmitScore` method expects three values: the score, a success callback, and a failure callback. You should report the final score from a script that controls your game scene logic. {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTon object initialized // This function should be called when the match ends function submitScore() { const score = getScore(); // Replace with your score calculation logic MiniTon.SubmitScore(score, successCallback, failureCallback); } // Success callback function function successCallback() { console.log("Success"); // Return to the MiniTon or perform any other necessary actions } // Failure callback function function failureCallback(reason) { console.warn("Fail: " + reason); // Implement a fallback score submission or handle the failure as needed } // Usage example // Call submitScore() when your game match ends submitScore(); ``` {% endcode %} In this JavaScript version, you should replace `getScore()` with your actual score calculation logic and ensure that you have a MiniTon object initialized. The `submitScore` function should be called when the match ends, and it will trigger the appropriate success or failure callbacks based on the result of the score submission. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} > #### Note on Progression > > After submitting a score, you have the opportunity to present the player with a granular score breakdown and an opportunity to allow the player to view their game progression. Setup for this is detailed further in the Progression Overview. ### Return To The MiniTon BOT The `ReturnToMiniTon` method exits your gameplay scene and presents the MiniTon BOT. This must be called **after** the score has been successfully submitted with the `SubmitScore` method. After `SubmitScore` has been called, you can present users with high scores or progression systems to enhance the game experience before ultimately calling the `ReturnToMiniTon` method and loading the MiniTon BOT. In all cases, it will return true or false, depending on whether or not it is able to return the user to MiniTon. For the case of a match in progress, unless a score has been submitted, this method will return false and the user will not be returned to MiniTon. If a score has been submitted, it returns true and returns the user to MiniTon. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} The ReturnToMiniTon method provides flexibility on how to hand the end of the match behavior. {% code title="GameManager.cs" %} ```csharp using MiniTon; using UnityEngine; public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour { void SubmitScore() { MiniTonCrossPlatform.SubmitScore(GetScore(), Success, Failure); } void Success() { Debug.Log("Success"); MiniTonCrossPlatform.ReturnToMiniTon(); } void Failure(string reason) { Debug.LogWarning("Fail: " + reason); //Fallback score submission } } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} `ReturnToMiniTon` method is called to handle the end of the match, you can use the following code: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTon object initialized // This function should be called when the match ends and you want to return to MiniTon function returnToMiniTon() { MiniTon.ReturnToMiniTon(); } // Success callback function function successCallback() { console.log("Success"); returnToMiniTon(); // Call the returnToMiniTon function when the match is successful } // Failure callback function function failureCallback(reason) { console.warn("Fail: " + reason); // Implement a fallback score submission or handle the failure as needed } // Submit the score using MiniTon function submitScore() { const score = getScore(); // Replace with your actual score calculation logic MiniTon.SubmitScore(score, successCallback, failureCallback); } // Usage example // Call submitScore() when your game match ends submitScore(); ``` {% endcode %} In this JavaScript version, you should replace `getScore()` with your actual score calculation logic, and ensure that you have a MiniTon object initialized. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Fallback Score Reporting > #### Please Note: > > **ReportFinalScore** has been deprecated and replaced by the **DisplayTournamentResultsWithScore** method. The primary method for reporting a score to MiniTon is through the methods defined above `SubmitScore` and `ReturnToMiniTon`. However, **DisplayTournamentResultsWithScore should always be implemented as a fallback in the event that the SubmitScore method fails.** This best practice ensures your user’s scores will never be lost. This method submits the player score, then immediately returns the user to the MiniTon. Ensure that calling this method as fallback will prevent any pending/in-progress SubmitScore calls from triggering a new retry after the user returns to MiniTon. If you do not do this, the pending retry may execute in a new game and you could end up submitting a previous game’s score. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} {% code title="GameManager.cs" %} ```csharp using MiniTon; using UnityEngine; public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour { void SubmitScore() { MiniTonCrossPlatform.SubmitScore(GetScore(), Success, Failure); } void Success() { Debug.Log("Success"); MiniTonCrossPlatform.ReturnToMiniTon(); } void Failure(string reason) { Debug.LogWarning("Fail: " + reason); MiniTonCrossPlatform.DisplayTournamentResultsWithScore(GetScore()); } } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTon object initialized // This function should be called when you want to submit the score function submitScore() { const score = getScore(); // Replace with your actual score calculation logic MiniTon.SubmitScore(score, successCallback, failureCallback); } // Success callback function function successCallback() { console.log("Success"); returnToMiniTon(); // Call the returnToMiniTon function when the match is successful } // Failure callback function function failureCallback(reason) { console.warn("Fail: " + reason); displayTournamentResultsWithScore(getScore()); // Call the displayTournamentResultsWithScore function on failure } // Function to return to MiniTon function returnToMiniTon() { MiniTon.ReturnToMiniTon(); } // Function to display tournament results with the score function displayTournamentResultsWithScore(score) { MiniTon.DisplayTournamentResultsWithScore(score); } // Function to get the score (replace with your actual score calculation logic) function getScore() { return 100; // Replace with the actual score value } // Usage example // Call submitScore() when your game match ends submitScore(); ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Incomplete Matches There are a couple ways to end a match prematurely. First, you can allow the user to quit the game and submit their current score, which gives them an opportunity to win with the score they have. Second, you can abort them from a match, which will result in a loss.Depending on your specific gameplay, you will need to determine which method works best for you. #### **Aborting** Aborting a match is an alternative to reporting the final score. When a player aborts a match, they have forfeited it to the opponent. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} ```csharp MiniTonCrossPlatform.AbortMatch(); ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTonCrossPlatform object initialized // This function should be called when you want to abort the match function abortMatch() { MiniTonCrossPlatform.AbortMatch(); } // Usage example // Call abortMatch() when you want to abort the match abortMatch(); ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Ending Replay Many cash matches are recorded in order to allow players to view replays as well as allow MiniTon to monitor fair play. The SDK provides an option that will allow you to end the replay after successfully submitting scores before progressing. This prevents unnecessarily long replays when the players interact with other gameplay elements like Progression. If you choose not to manually end the replay, the replay will end when the game returns to the MiniTon. You might want to consider supporting this feature in your game to allow users more control to conserve on resources i.e. battery, network etc. > If you invoke this method before calling SubmitScore a value of `false` will be returned. It is always recommended, to submit the player score as soon as the match gameplay ends, if possible. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} ```csharp bool success = MiniTonCrossPlatform.EndReplay(); ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTonCrossPlatform object initialized // This function should be called when you want to end the replay function endReplay() { const success = MiniTonCrossPlatform.EndReplay(); return success; // Return the success value if needed } // Usage example // Call endReplay() when you want to end the replay const replayEndedSuccessfully = endReplay(); ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} # Random and Fairness Random numbers can be essential to many different types of games. However, it also causes fairness concerns when playing in MiniTon tournaments. In order to address the potential imbalance caused by random numbers, the MiniTon SDK has methods to generate random numbers; the numbers returned by MiniTon are in the same sequence for each player in a match. > The MiniTon random generator ensures that each competitor in a match receives the exact sequence of *random* values to maintain fairness. ### API Methods This lists the most commonly used methods. [View the exhaustive list here](/developer-success/miniton-developer-documentation/api-reference#random-value). {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} ```csharp MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Value() ``` **Returns** A generated pseudo random float value *** ```csharp MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Range(float min, float max) ``` **Parameters** `min` The minimum float value of the range `max` The maximum float value of the range **Returns** A generated pseudo random float value within the range given > The Random function `Range(float min, float max)` requires the min and max value range (max-min) to be no larger than `Float.MaxValue` to prevent overflow. *** ```csharp MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Range(int min, int max) ``` **Parameters** `min` The minimum int value of the range `max` The maximum int value of the range **Returns** An int value within the range given > The Random function `Range(int min, int max)` requires the min and max value range (max-min) to be no larger than `Int.MaxValue` to prevent overflow. > {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} To provide the equivalent functionality in JavaScript for generating a pseudo-random float value using `MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Value()`, you can use the following JavaScript code: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTonCrossPlatform object initialized with a Random module // This function returns a generated pseudo-random float value between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) function getRandomFloat() { return MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Value(); } // Usage example const randomValue = getRandomFloat(); console.log("Random Float Value:", randomValue); ``` {% endcode %} The `getRandomFloat` function returns a pseudo-random float value, and you can use it in your game as needed. The code generates a float value between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive). *** To provide the equivalent functionality in JavaScript for generating a pseudo-random float value within a specified range using `MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Range(min, max)`, you can use the following JavaScript code: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTonCrossPlatform object initialized with a Random module // This function generates a pseudo-random float value within the specified range [min, max) function getRandomFloatInRange(min, max) { if (max - min > Number.MAX_VALUE) { console.warn("Range too large. Maximum allowed range is Number.MAX_VALUE."); return null; // Handle the error as needed } return min + (max - min) * Math.random(); } // Parameters const min = 0.0; // Replace with your desired minimum value const max = 1.0; // Replace with your desired maximum value // Usage example const randomValueInRange = getRandomFloatInRange(min, max); console.log("Random Float Value in Range:", randomValueInRange); ``` {% endcode %} In this JavaScript version, you should have a `MiniTonCrossPlatform` object initialized with a Random module. The `getRandomFloatInRange` function generates a pseudo-random float value within the specified range \[min, max). It also includes a check to ensure that the range does not exceed the maximum allowed value to prevent overflow, as mentioned in your documentation. You can customize the `min` and `max` parameters according to your desired range, and the `randomValueInRange` variable will hold the generated random float value within that range. *** To provide the equivalent functionality in JavaScript for generating a pseudo-random integer value within a specified range using `MiniTonCrossPlatform.Random.Range(min, max)` with integer parameters, you can use the following JavaScript code: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```javascript // Assuming you have a MiniTonCrossPlatform object initialized with a Random module // This function generates a pseudo-random integer value within the specified range [min, max] function getRandomIntInRange(min, max) { if (max - min > Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) { console.warn("Range too large. Maximum allowed range is Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER."); return null; // Handle the error as needed } // Generate a random integer within the range [min, max] return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; } // Parameters const min = 0; // Replace with your desired minimum value const max = 100; // Replace with your desired maximum value // Usage example const randomIntInRange = getRandomIntInRange(min, max); console.log("Random Integer Value in Range:", randomIntInRange); ``` {% endcode %} In this JavaScript version, you should have a `MiniTonCrossPlatform` object initialized with a Random module. The `getRandomIntInRange` function generates a pseudo-random integer value within the specified range \[min, max]. It includes a check to ensure that the range does not exceed the maximum allowed safe integer value to prevent overflow, as mentioned in your documentation. You can customize the `min` and `max` parameters according to your desired integer range, and the `randomIntInRange` variable will hold the generated random integer value within that range. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Considerations Please be aware that use of the MiniTon random methods does not guarantee that all players will have an identical game experience. These methods can only ensure that players get the same sequence of random numbers. Over time, the player’s decisions may diverge and the same random number will not be used in the same place.There may be places where the random decision is trivial to the outcome of the game, or purely aesthetic; in that case we recommend you do not use the MiniTon random methods to reduce the chances of making a different number of calls between players. ### Ensure Players Cannot Obtain Advantages from Outside the Game With the potential for real money to be awarded to one player or another, be certain that players won’t have any edge based on factors outside the tournament they are playing. Examples of this include items obtained from in-app purchases or bonuses gained from playing in single-player mode. This is highly specific to each individual game, but if there are any ways for players to obtain in-game bonuses these should be disabled when playing with MiniTon. # Setting up Tournaments and Gameplay Parameters Tournaments and gameplay parameters allow you to further customize your game on MiniTon. Tournaments allow you to specify the types of matches your game offers, while gameplay parameters can be used to alter the runtime behavior of your game. ### Tournaments MiniTon offers you the ability to set up several different types of tournaments through which players can compete for virtual points or cash. You can set up Tournaments in the MiniTon Developer Console. ### How Tournaments Work In MiniTon, tournaments are either **asynchronous** (what we call Play and Compare) or **Real-Time Synchronous**. Play and Compare tournaments are asynchronous. This means players do not have to wait to be matched with another person and compete in real-time. Instead, any time a player enters a tournament they will immediately be put into a game. Their score will be recorded and matched against another player with a similar rating. If a match isn’t immediately found, MiniTon will hold on to that player’s score and wait for another player with matching skills to enter the same tournament. In Real-Time Synchronous tournaments, players are matched with another person and compete in real time. Any time a player enters a tournament they must wait for another player to enter before being put into a game. Each player will see the opponent's progress in real time, and aborting will immediately end the tournament. ### Types of Tournaments #### Head-to-Head Tournaments These are the “standard” type of tournament, pitting two players directly against each other in a winner-take-all competition. Most MiniTon games implement this kind of tournament, and they’re the best kind when still in the process of building up your player population. #### Multiple Player Tournaments In Multiple Player tournaments, you can have four players compete for the best score in the game. As in Head to Head, a lone winner takes all of the proceeds. These tournaments are best suited for games with large player populations, as more players are needed to fill in these games. If your game supports standard tournaments, then it already supports Multiple Player tournaments as well! The differences between the two are all managed by MiniTon. #### Bracket Tournaments In Bracket Tournaments, a group of players will compete in a series of rounds. The loser of each round is eliminated and the winner proceeds to compete against other winners. This continues until only one remains. These tournaments are best suited for games with large player populations, as more players are needed to fill in these games. If your game supports standard tournaments, then it already supports Bracket tournaments as well! The differences between the two are all managed by MiniTon. #### Cash or Virtual Currency Tournaments Players in MiniTon tournaments can choose between competing for MiniTon Virtual Currency (known as 'Point') or for real money or for Toncoin. While 'Point' may be used for certain in-MiniTon purchases, only Toncoin and cash can be withdrawn from the system. ### Creating Tournaments MiniTon starts you off with a default set of 6 Head-to-Head tournaments, 3 Cash tournaments, and 3 Virtual Currency tournaments. Having a large number of tournaments creates a negative experience for players when they are unable to match with another player. This leads to tournaments being canceled and players being refunded. Once your game starts to scale and more players join the game, higher prize templates and bracket tournaments are enabled automatically by MiniTon. ### Editing Tournaments Different tournaments can be configured from your game’s page on the MiniTon Developer Console. There, you can experiment with different tournaments and identify the ones that are most popular with your player base. {% hint style="info" %} CAUTION Once a production build is uploaded to the developer console, all tournament settings will be locked and unable to be changed without the assistance of MiniTon. This is done to prevent fairness issues. Please make sure you are done configuring your templates before uploading a production build. You can request a parameter change by contacting MiniTon. {% endhint %} You can also customize different types of games by setting up Gameplay Parameters on the MiniTon Developer Console. ### Gameplay Parameters The MiniTon Developer Console allows you to set up different types of tournaments for your game. Additionally, you can configure each tournament to have specific gameplay parameters. These are essentially key-value pairs that you set up on the MiniTon Developer Console. When a match begins, you can retrieve these parameters. #### Purpose So, what's the purpose of setting up gameplay parameters? In essence, gameplay parameters allow you to modify your game's gameplay behavior at runtime. Some examples of gameplay parameters include: * Size or length of the game * Level of difficulty and how difficulty increases over time * Different characters or weapon loadouts * Points for specific actions * Bonuses for achievements * Different game objectives As you can see, the possibilities are endless. When set up thoughtfully, gameplay parameters can increase user engagement for your game and therefore increase monetization opportunities. If anything, they're an easy way to add excitement and replayability to your game. #### Setting Up Gameplay Parameters Gameplay parameters are set up in the MiniTon Developer Console for your game. Please head over there and set some up before attempting to retrieve them from your game. #### Retrieving Gameplay Parameters Now that you have gameplay parameters set up, retrieving them is fairly straightforward. When a match begins, MiniTon will send your gameplay parameters as key-value pairs. Each value is sent as a string, so you'll have to convert each value to the desired data type. The examples below retrieve a `TimeLimit` gameplay parameter that is parsed as an integer. {% hint style="info" %} INFO When you parse the parameter strings to floats, make sure to be cognizant of the player’s culture settings so the parser properly handles periods and commas in floats. For example, in Unity, you can overload the Parse method with `CultureInfo.InvariantCulture` to make the call culture-independent. `float.Parse(".8", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)` {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} {% code title="MiniTonGameController.cs" %} ```csharp using MiniTonSDK; using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; public sealed class MiniTonGameController : MiniTonMatchDelegate { public void OnMatchWillBegin(Match matchInfo) { if (matchInfo.GameParams.ContainsKey("TimeLimit")) { string timeLimitStr = matchInfo.GameParams["TimeLimit"]; int timeLimit = int.Parse(timeLimitStr); // Modify your game's time limit } } } ``` {% endcode %} In this example, `MiniTonGameController` implements the `MiniTonMatchDelegate` interface so that it can be notified when a match is beginning. When that happens, `OnMatchWillBegin()` is called and provides a Match object `matchInfo`. The gameplay parameters are in the `matchInfo.GameParams` property. You can also retrieve the gameplay parameters at any time during the match by calling `MiniTonCrossPlatform.GetMatchRules()`. More detailed documentation can be found in the API Reference {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} `MiniTonGameController` class that handles gameplay parameters using MiniTonSDK: ```javascript const MiniTonSDK = { // Simulate Match object (replace with actual implementation) Match: { GameParams: { TimeLimit: "60", // Simulated gameplay parameter // Add more gameplay parameters as needed }, }, GetMatchRules: function () { return this.Match.GameParams; }, }; class MiniTonGameController { OnMatchWillBegin(matchInfo) { if (matchInfo.GameParams.hasOwnProperty("TimeLimit")) { const timeLimitStr = matchInfo.GameParams["TimeLimit"]; const timeLimit = parseInt(timeLimitStr); // Modify your game's time limit based on the retrieved parameter console.log("Time Limit:", timeLimit); } } } // Usage example const miniTonGameController = new MiniTonGameController(); const matchInfo = MiniTonSDK.Match; miniTonGameController.OnMatchWillBegin(matchInfo); ``` The `MiniTonGameController` class implements the logic for handling gameplay parameters when a match begins. The `OnMatchWillBegin` method checks if the "TimeLimit" parameter exists in the `matchInfo.GameParams` property and modifies the game's time limit based on the retrieved parameter. You can use the `MiniTonSDK.GetMatchRules()` function to retrieve gameplay parameters at any time during the match. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} # Implement Progression The Progression methods allow you to store, recall, and update player data at any time within the game, unlocking personalized player experiences. ### General Custom Progression Game Scene Flow 1. Create keys in Developer Console for `PlayerData and/or InGameItems namespaces` 2. From client, retrieve player data using GetProgressionUserData at any time, prior, during, or at end of match play 3. Call SubmitScore at the conclusion of the match 4. Call UpdateProgressionUserData to update player data 5. Present the player with the custom progression scene 6. Call ReturnToMiniTon to return to the MiniTon BOT ### Progression API #### Namespaces There are three namespaces used to segment Progression data: * **`DefaultPlayerData`** * For read-only player data and is game-specific. Keys such as `games_played`, `games_won`, `install_date,` and more are found here. * **`PlayerData`** * For player data and is game specific. Store and retrieve custom player statistics and other custom progression-related data here. * **`InGameItems`** * In-game items are shared across all games in the publisher's portfolio. Store and retrieve virtual goods and global custom progression-related data here. {% hint style="info" %} INFO In order to store data in the **PlayerData** and **InGameItems** namespaces, you must first create your custom keys via the MiniTon Developer Console. Remember to publish your keys to Production when you are ready to distribute your game builds that contain Progression. {% endhint %} #### Get Progression User Data Retrieve data for the current user.

Automatic Difficulty is completely opt-in via the MiniTon Developer Console. > Caution: > > In some game types, changing game difficulty behind the scenes may be confusing or upsetting to players. ### Why would I use Automatic Difficulty? Automatic Difficulty allows games to be equally fun for both beginners and experts, despite their difference in skill level. With it enabled, the MiniTon Tournament Server will calculate a difficulty value based on the player’s level of skill, which you can then use to adjust the difficulty of your game. So what scenarios would fit for Automatic Difficulty? For example, say you have a mini golf game. Matches with a lower difficulty value can feature simpler, more straightforward courses. Matches with a higher difficulty value can feature courses which are longer and have more obstacles. Another example is for a first-person shooter. Matches with a lower difficulty value can give the player basic enemies. As difficulty increases, the game can give the player a larger number of enemies with more health. ### How does Automatic Difficulty work? The (automatic) difficulty value is determined by the MiniTon Tournament Server. As a player wins more matches, his or her player ranking goes up, and the Tournament Server gives that player a higher difficulty value for subsequent games. Conversely, losing more will hurt a player’s ranking, and the Tournament Server will assign a lower difficulty value for the player’s subsequent games. Players in the same match will always receive the same difficulty level to promote a fair a match. ### Adding Automatic Difficulty to Your Game Adding Automatic Difficulty to your game involves a few steps. First, you'll have to design your game with a gameplay parameter called `MiniTon_difficulty` in mind. Second, you'll test your game with various values of this parameter during development. And third, you will enable Automatic Difficulty when you upload your game's binary to the MiniTon Developer Console before going live. #### Add a 'MiniTon\_difficulty' gameplay parameter on the MiniTon Developer Console At its core, Automatic Difficulty is implemented as a Gameplay Parameter called `MiniTon_difficulty`. This parameter is automatically generated by the MiniTon Tournament Server after you've enabled Automatic Difficulty when uploading your game's binary. However, you should only do this when your game is ready to go live on both MiniTon and the appropriate app store.Until then, we recommend setting a `MiniTon_difficulty` gameplay parameter on the MiniTon Developer Console, and assign it a value of 5 for now. Note that this is just temporary and not required but will provide you a value to test retrieval and implementation of the `MiniTon_difficulty` parameter. #### Consume the 'MiniTon\_difficulty' Gameplay Parameter in Your Game Next, you'll need to consume the `MiniTon_difficulty` gameplay parameter in your game, and adjust your game's behavior based on the parameter's value. If the value does not exist, we recommended that you default to a value of 5. This could be because you either have not uploaded your binary to the MiniTon Developer Console yet, did not enable Automatic Difficulty when you uploaded your game's binary, or you did not explicitly set up the parameter for development and testing. #### Enable Automatic Difficulty Before Going Live At this point, you have tested your game's behavior with various values of `MiniTon_difficulty`, and you are ready to go live on MiniTon. You are now ready to enable Automatic Difficulty. 1. Delete the `MiniTon_difficulty` gameplay parameter that was manually created on the MiniTon Developer Console. The MiniTon Tournament Server will automatically generate this parameter when Automatic Difficulty is enabled. 2. Upload your game's (production ready) binary to the MiniTon Developer Console. There should be a checkbox to enable Automatic Difficulty. **Make sure that checkbox is checked!** Congratulations, your game is now set up with Automatic Difficulty! ### Best Practices If applicable to your game, players on higher difficulties should have the opportunity to earn more points (higher scores) than players on lower difficulties. For example, in an arcade survival shooter, surviving for a minute at difficulty 10 should lead to a significantly higher numeric score than surviving for a minute at difficulty 1. This could mean that higher difficulties contain more enemies to destroy, or that higher difficulties contain tougher enemies that are worth more points. # Crash Detection via Crashlytics At MiniTon, we use [Firebase Crashlytics](https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics) for crash reporting. We recommend integrating Crashlytics with your game to identify bugs and crashes more efficiently.[
](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/audio-api) # Anti-Cheating Techniques When integrating with MiniTon it becomes extremely important to take precautions against potential cheating in a game. To give themselves an unfair advantage, players can use 3rd party tools to modify scores or important gameplay values like health and ammo. To maintain a fair and competitive gameplay experience, we recommend that developers take anti-cheating measures before going live with MiniTon. ### Cheating Through Memory Modification One technique for cheating involves modifying values in run time memory. Using this technique, it would be possible for a user to modify their score before submitting to MiniTon or to rig gameplay variables, like health or time, to give themselves an unfair advantage. This technique works by searching memory for known values. For instance, say the player knew the score was 19, he would search the memory space of the application for a value of 19 and this would most likely give him a lot of memory addresses, one of which is the score value. At this point there are probably too many possibilities to accurately modify the score but if he then does something in game to increase your score, say to 20, he can now search for 20 in the memory space and reduce the number of memory addresses that are possible.This process is repeated until the probable addresses for scores are reduced to one. The cheater can now modify that memory address directly and change the score. We recommend that game developers employ the techniques listed in the following pages. Keep in mind protecting against cheating is never going to be absolute, like most security measures it is about making things more difficult for cheaters. They are not a comprehensive overview of all forms of anti-cheat protection, and you may decide to use other anti-cheat techniques in your app as appropriate. If you suspect players are cheating in your game, please reach out directly to MiniTon and we will work with you to get cheaters out of your game. ### Duplicate and Verify Data One technique to protect memory from being modified is to duplicate and verify data. The idea is to copy key data into separate variables and then compare the copy to the original, if the two don't match at any point in your game, it's likely that someone is cheating. This ensures there are at least two places in memory that both have to be modified to cheat. #### Example Code {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```csharp private int score = 0; private int scoreCheck = 0; // Make sure score and scoreCheck start at the same number void Awake() { scoreCheck = score; } // Any code that alters the score should also alter the scoreCheck private void AddScore(int increase) { score += increase; scoreCheck += increase; } // Accessors just need to return the real score private int GetScore () { return score; } // Assume this is your in-game function triggered upon // finishing the game (eg: time runs out, no more moves) private void GameOver() { if (ConfirmScoreValidity()) { // The score matches the copy, so report it MiniTonCrossPlatform.ReportFinalScore(score); } else { // Abort the match because suspicious behavior was detected MiniTonCrossPlatform.AbortMatch(); } } // Confirms that the score is valid. private bool ConfirmScoreValidity() { return score == scoreCheck; } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} ```javascript const MiniTonCrossPlatform = { ReportFinalScore: function (finalScore) { console.log("Reporting final score: " + finalScore); // Implement your logic to report the final score to MiniTon }, AbortMatch: function () { console.log("Aborting the match due to suspicious behavior"); // Implement your logic to abort the match }, }; class ScoreManager { constructor() { this.score = 0; this.scoreCheck = 0; // Make sure score and scoreCheck start at the same number this.Awake(); } // Make sure score and scoreCheck start at the same number Awake() { this.scoreCheck = this.score; } // Any code that alters the score should also alter the scoreCheck AddScore(increase) { this.score += increase; this.scoreCheck += increase; } // Accessors just need to return the real score GetScore() { return this.score; } // Assume this is your in-game function triggered upon // finishing the game (e.g., time runs out, no more moves) GameOver() { if (this.ConfirmScoreValidity()) { // The score matches the copy, so report it MiniTonCrossPlatform.ReportFinalScore(this.score); } else { // Abort the match because suspicious behavior was detected MiniTonCrossPlatform.AbortMatch(); } } // Confirms that the score is valid ConfirmScoreValidity() { return this.score === this.scoreCheck; } } // Usage example const scoreManager = new ScoreManager(); scoreManager.AddScore(10); // Increase the score (simulated) scoreManager.GameOver(); // Check and report the final score ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Obfuscate Data Another technique to protect memory from being modified is to obfuscate data. Obfuscating or encrypting key data is possible through various means. Before writing to memory, either obfuscate a variable or encrypt it. There are various techniques for achieving this, ranging from a simple XOR to more complex encryption methods. If you are combining this with a duplication technique you could even hash the duplicate and incorporate the hash check into the verify logic. Obfuscating your data will ensure that it is harder for a cheater to find key variables in memory. #### Example Code {% tabs %} {% tab title="Unity/C#" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```csharp private int xorCode = 12345; // USE A DIFFERENT XOR VALUE THAN THIS! private int score = 0; // Make sure to xor the initial score void Awake() { score = score ^ xorCode; } // Functions and mutators should xor the value before using it, and xor // the value again before the function exits private void AddScore(int increase) { score ^= xorCode; score += increase; score ^= xorCode; } // Accessors just need to return the xor'd value private int GetScore () { return score ^ xorCode; } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} ```javascript class ScoreManager { constructor(xorCode) { this.xorCode = xorCode; // Use a different XOR value than this this.score = 0; // Make sure to XOR the initial score this.Awake(); } // Make sure to XOR the initial score Awake() { this.score = this.score ^ this.xorCode; } // Functions and mutators should XOR the value before using it, // and XOR the value again before the function exits AddScore(increase) { this.score ^= this.xorCode; this.score += increase; this.score ^= this.xorCode; } // Accessors just need to return the XOR'd value GetScore() { return this.score ^ this.xorCode; } } // Usage example with a different XOR code const xorCode = 54321; // Use a different XOR value than this const scoreManager = new ScoreManager(xorCode); scoreManager.AddScore(10); // Increase the score (XOR-encoded) const currentScore = scoreManager.GetScore(); // Retrieve the decoded score console.log("Current Score:", currentScore); ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Advanced Data Protection You can combine the data-duplication and obfuscation techniques for added security. Ideally you should use a different XOR hash for the score and scoreCheck values. That will make it harder for a cheater to notice, otherwise the memory addresses will contain matching values and make it easier to find your checksum. #### Example Code {% tabs %} {% tab title="C#" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```csharp using System; public class ScoreManager { private int xorCode = 12345; // USE A DIFFERENT XOR VALUE THAN THIS! private int scoreCheckXorCode = 54321; // USE A DIFFERENT XOR VALUE THAN THIS! private int score = 0; private int scoreCheck = 0; // Make sure to xor the initial values public ScoreManager() { score = score ^ xorCode; scoreCheck = scoreCheck ^ scoreCheckXorCode; } // Functions and mutators should xor the value before using it, and xor the value again before the function exits public void AddScore(int increase) { score ^= xorCode; score += increase; score ^= xorCode; scoreCheck ^= scoreCheckXorCode; scoreCheck += increase; scoreCheck ^= scoreCheckXorCode; } // Confirms that the score is valid. public bool ConfirmScoreValidity() { return (score ^ xorCode) == (scoreCheck ^ scoreCheckXorCode); } public static void Main() { // Example usage ScoreManager scoreManager = new ScoreManager(); scoreManager.AddScore(10); Console.WriteLine("Score is valid: " + scoreManager.ConfirmScoreValidity()); } } ``` {% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} ```javascript class ScoreManager { constructor(xorCode, scoreCheckXorCode) { this.xorCode = xorCode; // Use a different XOR value than this this.scoreCheckXorCode = scoreCheckXorCode; // Use a different XOR value than this this.score = 0; this.scoreCheck = 0; // Make sure to XOR the initial values this.Awake(); } // Make sure to XOR the initial values Awake() { this.score = this.score ^ this.xorCode; this.scoreCheck = this.scoreCheck ^ this.scoreCheckXorCode; } // Functions and mutators should XOR the value before using it, // and XOR the value again before the function exits AddScore(increase) { this.score ^= this.xorCode; this.score += increase; this.score ^= this.xorCode; this.scoreCheck ^= this.scoreCheckXorCode; this.scoreCheck += increase; this.scoreCheck ^= this.scoreCheckXorCode; } // Confirms that the score is valid. ConfirmScoreValidity() { return (this.score ^ this.xorCode) === (this.scoreCheck ^ this.scoreCheckXorCode); } } // Usage example with different XOR codes const xorCode = 12345; // Use a different XOR value than this const scoreCheckXorCode = 54321; // Use a different XOR value than this const scoreManager = new ScoreManager(xorCode, scoreCheckXorCode); scoreManager.AddScore(10); // Increase the score (XOR-encoded) const isScoreValid = scoreManager.ConfirmScoreValidity(); console.log("Score is valid:", isScoreValid); ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} # Aborted Matches and Forfeits ## Handling Incomplete Games As players compete in MiniTon games, it is possible for some matches to end with no scores submitted and it is also possible for users to quit matches early where scores may or may not be submitted. There are a variety of scenarios to account for that may depend on your gameplay but this guide should provide some best practices for most situations. ## No Score Submitted This can happen because of a crash, connection issues, or a player just force-quitting their game. The MiniTon SDK handles these matches by submitting an `abort` score for players. Aborts can occur for various reasons and are all tracked and tagged differently on the backend to ensure proper categorization. * **Unintentional Crash** - App crash or hardware failure mid-game * **Backgrounded** - App is backgrounded (if the OS terminates app it is still considered Backgrounded) * **Terminated** - User terminates app manually * **Timeout** - User does not submit their score within the allotted time. Also the default abort type recorded if no other information is available ## Player Forfeits There are two other important ways to handle players not properly submitting a score that should be handled by the game client: **in-game forfeits** and calling the **abort method** (referred to as “Intentional” aborts). The way to handle in-game forfeits comes down to your unique game rules but we have some general items to think about. ### Intentional Forfeits Created by calling the [abort](/developer-success/miniton-developer-documentation/set-up-core-loop-and-gameplay) method to end the match prematurely. > In general, you should avoid calling the abort method unless there is no other option. Abort rates should be a direct indicator of game stability and performance so it is important to reduce any noise on your game’s true “abort rate” by handling player-initiated forfeits separately from aborts. ### In-Game Forfeits Can occur in multiple ways depending on the design of the game - the most common being a user forfeiting through an in-game menu. These should submit a real score, rather than an “abort”. In general, it is a best practice to continually educate the players on the consequences of leaving the game early. ### Asynchronous Games Typically this should submit whatever score the player has when they forfeit. When handling a player action that will end the match you should first look to report the final score for the player according to the rules of your game. > Note that if the user has the potential to lower their score while continuing to play, it may be more logical to submit a 0. ### Real-Time Games We recommend submitting a pre-determined losing score for the forfeiting user, rather than calling the abort method. The losing score should be determined by the win condition for your game and be carefully selected to avoid unintentional “Ties” (i.e. force a 0 for the forfeiting user and 1 for the winner) > If your game has a score summary screen before returning to the MiniTon SDK, it is best practice to indicate that the opponent Forfeited here, as the MiniTon results screen will show only the losing score value that you assign the forfeiting user. ## Real-Time Games Disconnects In real-time games, there are more nuances to consider when reporting aborts, especially in the case of disconnections from the game server. Some common use cases and typical ways of handling them are listed below, but these by no means cover all the permutations of disconnect/reconnect use cases. 1. *Pausing gameplay on lost connection* * Depending on the design of your game, you may want to pause gameplay when one user loses connection to the game server. For example, in a turn-based game, such as chess, where a user only has a set amount of time to make their move, it would make sense to pause during a reconnect by one user. In real-time strategy games, it can make more sense to allow the opponent to continue playing. 2. *Reconnection timer* * If you implement a pause in gameplay while a user disconnects, there should be an associated timer to ensure that the game ends if the user never reconnects. A typical value is 20 seconds to allow for reconnection. * As a best practice, many developers implement this timer to be aggregate to prevent griefing/excessive pausing (ie. if a user disconnects and reconnects after 5 seconds, when they disconnect again they should have 5 less total seconds to reconnect in). * When one user disconnects and the game is paused, the opponent should see a modal explaining that their opponent has disconnected and showing the current countdown timer. To minimize problems implement the timer in the game server rather than the client to ensure accuracy between the two clients. 3. *Aborting on disconnection* * If a user disconnects for longer than the time allotted by the reconnect timer, they should submit an abort and the game should be ended immediately. Their opponent should submit whatever their score currently is and win. 4. *Pause Limiting* * If one user pausing the game, using an in-game menu, results in a pause in gameplay for both users, there should be a limit on the amount of times the game can be paused by one user to prevent griefing. If the user pauses more times than is allowed, they should submit a set losing score (typically 0) and the game should immediately end. It is best practice to educate the user on the implications of pausing too often or disconnecting for too long. 5. *Disconnect Limiting* * If one user disconnecting from the game server results in a pause in gameplay and impacts the other user, there should be a limit on the amount of times a user can disconnect and reconnect before they are aborted. When this disconnect limit is reached, the game should immediately end with the disconnecting user submitting an abort, and their opponent winning with their current score. 6. *Multiple users Disconnecting* * If both users disconnect from the game server at the same time, there should be distinct timers for each user. If both users do not reconnect in the time allotted by the timer, they should both submit aborts. # API-reference Unity/C# ### Core Loop #### Launch MiniTon This method is overloaded {% tabs %} {% tab title="Asynchronous" %} ```csharp void MiniTonCrossPlatform.LaunchMiniTon(); ``` Legacy: ```csharp void MiniTonCrossPlatform.LaunchMiniTon(MiniTonMatchDelegate matchDelegate); ``` **Parameters** Legacy: `matchDelegate` A reference to a `MiniTonMatchDelegate` instance that MiniTon will use {% endtab %} {% tab title="Synchronous" %} ```csharp void MiniTonCrossPlatform.LaunchMiniTon(); ``` Legacy: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```csharp void MiniTonCrossPlatform.LaunchMiniTon(MiniTonMatchDelegate matchDelegate); ``` {% endcode %} **Parameters**[**​**](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/api-reference/#parameters-1) Legacy: `matchDelegate` A reference to a `MiniTonMatchDelegate` instance that MiniTon will use {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} *** #### Update Current Score Call this method every time the player's score changes during a MiniTon match.

If your game enable cash tournaments, you can receive payment. We pay our developers within 15 days after the end of the month. Your earnings will be based on the entry fees paid by players in your game, and you'll receive 50% of the revenue. Each month, your revenue statement will break down the actual amount. You can access Revenue Statements within your developer console and receive them via email within 30 days of the end of the month. # Game Marketing Guidelines ## General On the MiniTon platform, only skill-based games are allowed. Games that rely on luck or casino-style mechanics are prohibited. To ensure that your game is not confused with games of chance and for the benefit of all game developers on our platform, please adhere to the following guidelines. ## Marketing and In-Game Copy * Avoid using names or descriptions that suggest the game relies on chance or gambling, such as Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, or Slots. * If MiniTon grants written approval, you can describe your game as a "skill-based game inspired by" a listed game, as long as your copy clearly indicates that it is a skill-based adaptation of the concept. * Please refrain from mentioning anything related to betting, wagering, gambling, luck, chance, or guessing. * Please refrain from using "real money" or "RMG". Instead, we suggest using "real-world prizes" or "real prizes". * It is advisable to refrain from using the term "addictive". * Here are some options to consider: engaging, enticing, captivating, challenging, fun, and absorbing. * Do not use language commonly used by casinos or check cashing establishments such as "ca$h", "get cash fast", or "cash on the spot". * Do not include the MiniTon brand in your app title or subtitle. You may use MiniTon in the description of your ads with the following phrases: * Powered by MiniTon® * Featuring prize competitions provided by MiniTon® * With fair competition and player-matching powered by MiniTon® * Challenge players worldwide to MiniTon®, a fair, fun, and meaningful mobile game competition with leaderboards, trophies, real-world prizes, and a loyalty program that rewards your playing! * MiniTon Random™ guarantees fair player matching and gameplay conditions, ensuring that only the most skilled competitor wins. ## Marketing and In-Game Artwork / Audio Do not use the following imagery: * Betting with poker chips * Casino environments (interior or exterior) * Slot machine symbols (stylized sevens, bars, cherries, jackpot symbols, etc.) * Casino games (slots, roulette, craps, keno, etc.) * Cards, dice, and felt tabletops are okay if not presented in a gambling context * Chance-based games (lottery, coin flips, scratchers, etc.) * Signs or landmarks from Las Vegas or other iconic gambling locations * Alcohol or other controlled substances * Minors under age 18 * Pornography or sexualized imagery * Avoid using sounds or voiceovers related to gambling or casinos. # Tutorial Best Practices * Many games live or die based on the effectiveness of the first-time user experience (FTUE) and the game’s ability to retain players after their first session. The most powerful tool for optimizing this aspect of a game’s performance is the initial game tutorial. * When players feel comfortable winning, they are much more likely to move to cash tournaments. This can be accelerated by a great tutorial. * Returning players can forget rules and scoring details, and they may require a refresher to feel confident about their abilities before competing again. Tutorials help to even the playing field by ensuring that everyone understands what is required for success. ## Tutorial Optimization - Form and Function[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#tutorial-optimization---form-and-function) Ensuring that players know how to play is crucial to the first-time user experience. There are four common approaches for integrating tutorials into MiniTon games. These are outlined below along with some additional topics covering various formats, where players access tutorials, the essence of a great tutorial, and recommendations on maximizing their efficiency. ## Successful Tutorial Configurations[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#successful-tutorial-configurations) | Slideshow- A paginated collection of topics with focused information about key concepts | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

  • Strongly recommended for best overall performance - this format can present a lot of valuable information with minimal friction.
  • A clear theme or concept for each slide makes it easy for players to find the specific information they are looking for, even in the middle of a match.
  • Recommended when a game has multiple mechanics or a structured round order.
  • Best when limited to fewer than six pages.
  • Animated visuals are strongly recommended as they help to clarify key concepts, improve comprehension, and give the game a more polished feel.

  • Good for games with simple mechanics that can be explained on a single slide.
  • Focus on images and diagrams over text where possible.

  • Strongly recommended for games with multiple game modes.

    • For example, if a game has a specific or unique objective or obstacle for a level, it is valuable to show a “match start” infographic screen that focuses specifically on that mechanic as a primer for what lies ahead.
    • This more specific “match start” infographic is different from the broader, one-time infographic that appears as part of the FTUE.
  • A typical FTUE infographic appears once, on the first game played. A “match start” infographic may appear at the start of every match that requires a specific explanation of a temporary mechanic.
  • This format presents the least amount of friction in the game’s new user funnel.

  • Recommended for games with a substantial learning curve, where concepts should be confirmed to be understood, like a checklist.
  • Best when limited to less than five interactions.
  • Interactive tutorials are very effective but are also high friction and should always include a skip option.
| Video - High-production video showcasing concepts and exciting gameplay | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

  • Strongly recommended for showcasing kinetic gameplay and difficult to execute scenarios.
  • Use when slideshow, infographic, and interactive approaches aren’t sufficiently nuanced or detailed.
  • Best when video does not require buffer time and length is limited to less than 40 seconds.
| ## Multiple Tutorial Touch Points[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#multiple-tutorial-touch-points) There are a few different places where tutorials can be integrated effectively. We recommend that gameplay is always explained to the player in the FTUE, immediately before their first match. Additionally, not every player will retain all the tutorial information the first time. As a result, there are benefits to utilizing different touchpoints. We suggest granting access to the tutorial from some of the touchpoints defined below: **Immediately Before First Game Begins**[**​**](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#immediately-before-first-game-begins)

| ## Sync Tutorial Best Practices[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#sync-tutorial-best-practices) If a game features a sync (real-time) mode, the tutorial - *regardless of the configuration* - should include a section at the end explaining that it is possible to play a real-time match with a human opponent. This information should appear in both the async tutorial and the sync tutorial. In fact, unless there is an explicit need to call out sync-only functionality, we recommend the tutorial be the same for both modes. If it is determined that the sync mode absolutely must include different information than the async mode, match info can be used to dynamically determine which tutorial to show. Data shows that players that experience sync play early on are much more likely to engage with pro tournaments. Any opportunity to remind players that sync play is supported will positively impact a game’s metrics. For sync games, we also recommend notifying the player that they can play real-time games against a human opponent as soon as they complete their second asynchronous practice match. Currently, the best time to relay this information is immediately upon completion of that second practice match and *before* the results screen (where the player presses Submit Score), as once the results screen appears, the player must be transitioned directly back to the SDK. ## Tutorial Breakdown[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#tutorial-breakdown) Tutorials teach players fundamental concepts of a game to help them start playing well. This accelerated success is crucial to good monetization, which is why it is important to proactively display a tutorial to the user in their first session. Additionally, the tutorial should be easily accessible in later sessions from a number of different touchpoints to ensure players always have the information they need to succeed. #### Key Concepts to Include in Your Tutorial (Priority Order)[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#key-concepts-to-include-in-your-tutorial-priority-order) * **Game goal / core loop** - What is the objective and how do you play? * **Game controls** - How are the controls configured? * **Special mechanics / power-ups** - What else does the player need to know? * **Scoring** - How are points earned? * **Tips and Tricks** - What essential strategies does the player need to understand? * Don’t go too deep here - figuring out the best strategies is part of a player’s enjoyment of a competitive game! * **Sync** - Basic description of sync play functionality including any rules specific to sync play. Async and sync players alike should have access to this information as we’d like to nudge players toward sync play for improved engagement and monetization. #### Successful Approaches for Tutorial integration[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#successful-approaches-for-tutorial-integration) * Trigger FTUE tutorial after login and initial matchmaking, immediately before the player’s first match. * Use concise instruction covering only required concepts. * Ensure clear visual focus for the concepts communicated, and animate if possible. * Use simple language, clear images and diagrams, and focus on fast comprehension. #### Things to Avoid[​](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/tutorials#things-to-avoid) * Illegible text, poor grammar, and misspellings dilute the tutorial’s message. * Over-communicating causes distraction and hinders focus. * Overly long tutorials cause players to become impatient and can really harm your game’s new user funnel metrics. Keep it short and minimize friction to get the player into their first match as soon as possible! * When crafting an interactive tutorial, be extra careful not to introduce bugs, confusing steps, or actions that are difficult for players to execute.

](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/score-summary) # Unlock Real Prizes At MiniTon, our mission is to bring out the best in everyone through competition. You are born to create great games. We exist to realize their full potential. Prize Enablement is a major milestone on your path to monetization on MiniTon’s platform. Upon Prize Enablement, your game will be able to host real-prize tournaments and start to monetize. ## Requirements to Become Real Prize Enabled Games that meet all of the following performance goals will be reviewed for Prize Enablement. | Thresholds | | :-------------------------: | | 75 Daily Active Users (DAU) | | 6 Matches per DAU | | 4.5% Day 7 Retention | | 70% Launches to 2Matchs | | Pass Fairness Test | All metrics are calculated using 7-day rolling averages and are available on the Analytics page on Developer Console. Once the above requirements are met, our Developer Success team will conduct a final review. Here are the additional conditions we look for: * Integrated with the most recent MiniTon SDK Free of bugs, crashes, and user experience errors * 4-star rating in MiniTon * No 3rd-party ads * Adherence to [MiniTon Marketing Guidelines](/developer-success/developer-cooperation/game-marketing-guidelines) If your game meets all the requirements and has not been Prize Enabled, please contact us. Our Developer Success team will be in touch within five business days. Please note that in limited cases, we request content and/or best practice changes to your game as a precursor to enabling real-world prizes. MiniTon maintains full discretion to withhold real-prize tournaments for any game at any time. Games must remain in compliance with these conditions in order to maintain their real-prize tournaments. ## Minimum of 75 Daily Active Users (DAU) The minimum DAU requirement is set to safeguard user experience and ensure sustainable monetization. Any game with under 75 DAU often leads to players not matching and more aborted matches, which ultimately harms paying user retention. 75 DAU is the minimum player volume that justifies offering real prize tournaments. ## Minimum of 6 Matches per DAU Games per DAU is a key indicator of player engagement. Games on MiniTon platform with at least 6 Games per DAU show decent tournament liquidity and healthy monetization. ## Minimum of 4.5% Day 7 Retention Day 7 Retention measures the percentage of players that remain active 7 days after installing your game. Games with Day 7 Retention 4.5% and above have a higher chance of building a healthy paying user base that supports long-term monetization. ## Minimum of 70% Launches to 2Matchs Launches to 2Matchs (L:2M) is the percentage of players that participate in two tournaments in your game post-install. Using the MiniTon SDK, the First-Time User Experience (FTUE) guides the player through playing in two tournaments. So L:2M is an easy way to measure the success of player onboarding. If your metric falls below 70%, it could mean two things: first, views brought to your game are of low quality and do not match your target audience and/or second, on average users are not very satisfied with their first-time experience in your game. To improve your Launches to 2Matchs conversion, make sure that your game is fully tested for bugs and has a clear and intuitive tutorial for first-time users. ## Pass Fairness Test At the heart of any competition is that each participant is offered an equal opportunity to win. MiniTon is fully committed to ensuring that all competitive matches are fair, without providing an advantage of one player over another. MiniTon’s patented algorithm determines the skill level of a game by measuring a game’s outcome compared to a player’s perceived skill. Please make sure that your game has properly implemented MiniTon Random and had at least 1000 games completed in a single type of tournament. Algorithm scores are a part of the real prize enablement process and are not viewable in the Developer Console. If you would like to see your score, then please contact us. If you would like to learn more about our patented algorithm, then check out our Knowledge Base [here](https://docs.skillz.com/docs/randomness) and [here](https://skillz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001117626-How-do-you-know-a-game-is-really-skill-based-). If your game does not pass the Fairness Test, we recommend that you re-examine the game mechanics and see if any changes can be made to increase the skill versus chance probability in your game. Some examples of factors that could be re-examined are reducing random variables or adding mechanics to make scoring more varied between players of different skill levels. ## Integrated with the most recent MiniTon SDK A game must be on the most up-to-date SDK. With every new SDK version, MiniTon is building in features that improve the player experience, decrease negative effects of known bugs, and help drive the overall performance of your game. ## Free of bugs, crashes, and user experience errors MiniTon wants to ensure that a game is stable before unlocking real prizes. Unexpected bugs and/or crashes result in a higher amount of aborted matches, which create a negative player experience and hurt the overall brand reputation of both MiniTon and the game developer. In addition, aborted matches often result in player refunds, which has the consequence of net revenue losses. ## Minimum of 4-star rating in MiniTon Part of the MiniTon quality assurance process is to ensure that players enjoy playing well-functioning, fun and polished games. As a low rating often indicates an issue within a game, MiniTon will not enable real prizes in any game that has lower than 4 stars in the appropriate App Store. ## No 3rd-party ads 3rd-party ads are not allowed for any MiniTon game that has unlocked real prizes because they can interfere with the overall gameplay and are disruptive to the player experience. If your game is rejected for this reason, then please remove all 3rd-party ads before re-submitting your game. ## Adherence to MiniTon Marketing Guidelines While MiniTon encourages game developers to market their game with competitive play and real prizes, it is important to ensure that players don't mistake your game, or MiniTon games in general, for a game of chance. For the mutual benefit of all the game developers on our platform, please follow the recommendations set in the [MiniTon Marketing Guidelines](/developer-success/developer-cooperation/game-marketing-guidelines). All marketing materials should not utilize MiniTon marketing assets or mention MiniTon without explicit approval. # MiniTon Gaming SDK Version 1.1\_240110 # Introduction {% hint style="info" %} 🔐 Game developers obtain a developer key (**Secret Key**) from MiniTon for data consistency verification, ensuring data security.

Throughout history, games requiring strategic prowess have allowed players to demonstrate their abilities, ranging from traditional board games to large-scale sporting events. Presently, skill-based games are accessible on various media platforms, such as AOL, MSN, and Yahoo. Moreover, a burgeoning electronic sports (eSports) industry has emerged, offering professional gamers the chance to compete for real money in popular video games. MiniTon is an innovative platform that enables mobile gamers to participate in skill-based multiplayer tournaments and win tangible rewards. The games offered by MiniTon are classified as games of skill, not chance, which renders the platform's tournaments legally permissible in most regions worldwide. ## Are Skill-based Tournaments Gambling? Contests that provide tangible rewards based on ability do not fall under the category of gambling, as the criteria for gambling generally involve three distinct components: (1) a reward, (2) payment for participation, and (3) an unpredictable result. Thus, if any of these three factors are absent, the contest is not regarded as gambling. With regards to MiniTon events, player performance determines the outcome, rather than luck, which renders them lawful in the majority of nations. ## Cash Gameplay Enabled/Disabled Locations #### Cash Disabled Countries Afghanistan, Andhra Pradesh (State in India), Arunachal Pradesh (State in India), Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Congo (Democratic Republic), Cote D’Ivoire, Croatia (local name: Hrvatska), Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran (Islamic Republic Of), Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kerala (State in India), Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Montenegro, Myanmar, Nagaland (State in India), Nigeria, North Korea, North Macedonia, Odisha (State in India), Pakistan, People’s Republic of China, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Sikkim (State in India), Slovakia (Slovak Republic), Slovenia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tamil Nadu (State in India), Telangana (State in India), Turkey, Ukraine, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe. **Cash Enabled U.S. States:** Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana (except Card-Based games), Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine (except Card-Based games), Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Washington DC and Puerto Rico {% hint style="info" %} MiniTon does not currently distinguish Tribal Land from the surrounding state.

When it comes to games, there are two primary categories: games of skill and games of chance. Games of skill require players to possess both physical and mental abilities, as well as knowledge, in order to achieve a desired outcome. These types of games often involve the use of strategy, tactics, physical coordination, strength, technical expertise, or other forms of knowledge. In contrast, games of chance heavily rely on random chance or uncertainty to determine the outcome. This can be achieved through various methods, such as using dice, playing cards, or numbered balls drawn from a container. It is worth noting that while some games of skill may incorporate an element of chance, and vice versa, the U.S. courts typically use either **the** **predominance test** or **the material element test** to determine the extent to which skill and chance play a role in determining the outcome of the game. #### The Predominance Test The predominance test is frequently utilized to evaluate whether a game is predominantly based on skill or chance. This method involves envisioning a spectrum with pure skill at one end and pure chance at the other. Chess serves as an illustration of a game that is primarily skill-based, whereas conventional slot machines are largely chance-based. Numerous games fall somewhere in between these two extremes, combining both skill and chance. If a game is mostly situated towards the skill end of the spectrum, it is generally classified as a game of skill. #### The Material Element Test Across eight states in the United States, the material element test is extensively employed to ascertain whether a game is based on skill or chance. This test assesses the extent to which chance influences the game's outcome. Games like Minesweeper heavily rely on a player's skills, but there are instances where random guesses come into play, ultimately deciding the winner and loser of the game. Despite skill being the dominant factor, chance still holds a considerable sway in determining the game's outcome. ## How does MiniTon determine which games are skill-based? MiniTon is developing a statistical model that effectively distinguishes games of skill from those of chance. This cutting-edge model is created by a highly acclaimed statistician and will accurately analyze game results from a vast range of games, offering valuable insights into the role of luck in determining the outcome. MiniTon will develop a sophisticated engine to remove randomness and add skill to games with chance. ## What happens if someone logs in from a place where real prize gaming is not legal? In areas where real-prize gaming requiring skill is not allowed, MiniTon offers virtual currency tournaments that are open for players to participate. To guarantee eligibility for actual rewards, MiniTon relies on the IP address to confirm their location. ## MiniTon Compliance At MiniTon, we offer a safe and enjoyable platform for competitive gaming that rewards players with monetary and digital currency. We follow all federal and state laws by verifying the residency of account holders and checking IP addresses to ensure eligibility for real prize competitions.

Also, if and when our developer partners update the Software or deploy patches, updates, and modifications to the MiniTon SDK integrated into the Software, as applicable, we may do so through remote access of your Device without your knowledge.

Cash Deposits.** If you play games integrated in a Competition without depositing U.S. Dollars into your Account for that Competition, then you are a “Non-Cash Player” with respect to such Competition. However, if you play in a Competition that requires an entry paid in U.S. Dollars or USDT Token (“Cash Competition”), then you are a “Cash Player”, and if you establish a positive Account balance for entry fees for Cash Competitions, then you must submit and maintain at all times the following current and correct information: your full name, your permanent residential address, your phone number and your credit card or other payment information. Participating in Cash Competitions may require establishing a positive Account balance in any amount we or our developer partners determine. If you are a Cash Player, by submitting this information, you consent to allowing us and our developer partners to share your personal and payment information in confidence with third party service providers for the purposes of validating your identity and assessing the transaction risk associated with accepting your selected method of payment, and for any other purpose as detailed in our Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional Bonus Funds will be used to enter Cash Competitions if Bonus Funds are the only currency available in your account. When you win a Cash Competition, any Bonus Funds that you have used to pay the entry fee will be returned to you and any additional winnings beyond your entry fee will be paid in U.S. Dollars or USDT Token. If you initiate a withdrawal of funds from your Account, you will forfeit all Bonus Funds currently in your Account. If you do not enter a Cash Competition within a continuous 60 day time period, all Bonus Funds in your account will be forfeited.**8.5. Withdrawals.** If you are a Cash Player and your account balance is greater than US$100 (one hundred U.S. dollars), you may request a withdrawal of funds from your available Account balance at any time.

General**. This Section applies to any Dispute except for Disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, action or other controversy between you and us concerning these Terms, the Services or any product, service or information we make available to you, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law. In the event of a Dispute, you or we must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to MiniTon Customer Support: . We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and we will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, either you or we may commence arbitration. You may also litigate any Dispute in small claims court in your county of residence or San Francisco, California, if the Dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court whether or not you negotiated informally first.**14.2. Binding arbitration**. If you and we do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this Section. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.**14.3. Class action waiver.** To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. If this waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then it won’t apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.**14.4. Arbitration procedure.** This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore and the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Singapore. Any arbitration will be conducted by the Singapore Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. In a Dispute involving $1,000,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and the English version of these Terms (and not any translation) shall control, and both parties hereby agree to accord this arbitration agreement the broadest scope admissible under applicable Laws, and that it shall be interpreted in a non-restrictive manner. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the arbitrators’ commercial rules. The arbitrator may award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, or pain and suffering or punitive or indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, cost and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator; however, the arbitrator may award to the prevailing party reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, for example, expert witness fees and travel expenses), and/or the fees and costs of the arbitrator. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a written award and a written statement of decision describing the material factual findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive their right to commence any action or judicial proceeding in connection with a dispute hereunder, except for purposes of: (i) recognition and/or enforcement of the arbitration award or any other decision by the arbitral tribunal, (ii) obliging the other party to participate in the arbitration proceedings, (iii) requesting any type of conservative or interim measure in connection with the dispute prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, (iv) requesting the appearance of witnesses and/or experts, and/or (v) requesting that any information and/or documentation discovery be complied with. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, you understand that you are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a claim or Dispute were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, the right bring a claim as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and the right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.**14.5. Claims or Disputes.** Must be filed within one month. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or Dispute under these Terms must be filed within one month from the date of the cause of action. If a claim or dispute isn’t filed within one month, it’s permanently barred.**14.6. Equitable Relief.** You agree that we would be irreparably damaged if these Terms were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy we may have at law, and notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate Disputes, we are entitled without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to seek appropriate equitable remedies with respect to your violation of these Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction.**14.7 Language of the Terms:** If we provide a translated version of these Terms, the User Terms of Service, the Developer Terms and Conditions of Service, the Affiliate Program Terms of Service, the MiniTon Privacy Policy, or any other terms or policy, it is for informational purposes only. If the translated version means something different than the English version, then the English meaning will be the one that applies. 15. **MISCELLANEOUS** These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or other arrangements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. These Terms cannot be modified by you, and may only be modified by us as provided above.

The provisions of these Terms are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of these Terms shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. Section titles in these Terms are for reference only and have no legal effect. No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and expenses.
