TrueSkillServer

A JavaScript based server running the TrueSkill ranking algorithm.

Usage

There are 3 simple steps to get this server up and running:

You should now be able to visit: localhost and see the results of the match between two default ranked players with player 1 winning the match.

Or you can add one or more of the following URL parameters to override the default settings:

This allows you to specify the team skills before the match and the result of the match, for example:

explore Express/Jade
try the node debugger
deployment
write the server app to use the library code
figure out how the UI should work
database for storing skills
look into calculating handicaps from team differences, also does the actual match result matter, i.e. 10-9 vs 10-0
consider adding attack/defence flags for players and track skill separately, so a player might have 3 skill values, attack/defence/combined?
match quality display, i.e. calculate quality for all possible matches and display a leader board?
graph skills over time
if tracking attack/defence position separately include in match quality calculations
take intermediate calculations of team skill when combining players and rank?
how to handle different game formats, e.g. first to 5, is this equivalent to all players having a 50% partial play?
player registration
league management
in addition to an all-time league also implement a rolling league calculation, i.e. only include results from the last n days
figure out what match quality actually represents
for each match show the probability of the actual result, is this possible before the match is played? see: TrueSkillFactorGraph.getProbabilityOfRanking()
could this be used to analyse football matches/horse races/etc?
