Thanks to its complete API, and even more so the OpenAPI Specification, Toornament is ready for in-game integration.
That’s an opportunity GFX47, developer of the game Gladiabots (an arena game where you assemble a robot squad and construct their IA to outsmart your opponents), understood and seized to let his community organize and take part in tournaments directly in the game.
If you play Gladiabots, you will be able to find a “Tournaments” item in its main menu, that will bring you to a list of tournaments, all organized on Toornament. Register to one, and your matches will automatically be pulled from our website thanks to the API and appear in-game. In the same fashion, match results are then pushed to Toornament and new matches pulled again for the tournament to move forward with no admin interventions.
On top of the official tournaments organized by the game developer, any community member can create his own tournament, and have it appear in game for all interested players to participate in.
“Having a solution like Toornament has allowed me to offer a competitive option for the players that wanted to take part in tournaments, without having to develop the whole feature myself. It has been a great time saver, and having the community be able to create their own tournaments ensure the game stays lively and active.“
