[FEATURE] Create Deathmatch gamemode

[agustinesco]

We want to create another game mode

Create a new game mode that will go as follows:

• There's no zone that kills the player
• Players re-spawn some time after dying
• The match will end after a fixed time and the winner will be the player with most kills

Implementation Concerns

Things to Change/Add

• Game Mode Configuration
  Add the game mode to the game configuration (passed through matchmaking) to differentiate between Battle Royale and Deathmatch modes.

• Game Initialization Parameters (for deathmatch)
  When the game is created, ensure the following parameters are set:

  • The zone is always disabled
  • Add a configurable game duration timer
  • Set configurable respawn seconds

• End Game Check
  Keep :end_game_check as it currently is in Battle Royale mode, we won't use it for Deathmatch.

  • Add an if statement to distinguish between Battle Royale :end_game_check and Deathmatch.
  • In Deathmatch, send a message to the game updater process to end the game (and retrieve the winner) after a configurable time.

• Kill Tracking
  Track kills — already implemented

• Respawn Queue
  Add a pipe at the end of each tick update to send every dead player to a respawn queue (it's not really a queue, just a function that will be triggered after a fixed time), all of them will be respawned after a configurable time.

• Respawn Implementation

  • Use send after to trigger respawn after a configurable time.
  • Respawn will restore the player to their initial health and position. (The position could be random too - 2nd iteration)

Second Iteration

• Tiebreaker Algorithm
  Add an algorithm to resolve ties. -> (amount of deaths, random).

• Invincibility After Respawn
  Include configurable invincibility seconds following respawn.

• Game Duration to Frontend
  Send the current time until game finishes information to the frontend.

• Podium Implementation
  Implement a podium to display player standings at the end of the game (top N kills).
