  2. Spawn players using the global.minigame_manager.player_data_array
• Ending the game

// of handling the lifecycle of the game

// Initialize minigame manager
init_minigame_manager("GameMaker Test Game");

// Spawn players
var player_count = array_length(_player_data_array)
for (var i = 0; i < player_count; i++) {
	show_debug_message("Spawning player: {0} with data: {1}", i, _player_data_array[i]);
}

// End the game and assign points to each player
//
// In the example below, we give 1 point to
// player 1 and 3 points to player 2

    new PlayerResult(0, 1),
    new PlayerResult(1, 3),
