Feature Proposal: Battle Royale Mode, Friend System, and Leaderboards #136
Description
Hi @yep-yogesh 👋, I’d love to contribute by implementing some new features that could enhance the competitive and social aspects of the game:
Battle Royale Mode
- Each round eliminates the lowest-scoring player until one remains.
- Adds tension and a “last man standing” gameplay dynamic.
Friend System
- Allow users to add friends, invite them to private games, and track past games together.
- Encourages retention and repeat play with a social layer.
Leaderboards
- Global, regional, and friend-only leaderboards.
- Creates long-term competition and motivation for players to improve.
Why this is valuable:
These features build on the multiplayer foundation and help improve engagement, replayability, and community.
Players will have reasons to keep coming back beyond just one-off games.
Proposed Approach (High-Level):
Battle Royale Mode: Extend existing game state management to support round eliminations.
Friend System: Leverage Firebase Auth for user IDs + a friends collection in MongoDB.
Leaderboards: Aggregate scores and cache rankings periodically for performance.
Next Steps:
Would you be open to me starting work on these features (possibly one at a time, starting with Battle Royale mode)?
I can draft a more detailed technical plan before implementation if needed.
Thanks for considering! 🚀
