I think that such situations could be solved quite easily. We are not talking about the fact that only two players always play. There can be many games between pairs of players in parallel, at the same time. And these pairs can change, someone leaves the game, someone new appears. The algorithm should determine those players who are left without a partner and organise a new pair for them quite quickly, so that the game is not interrupted for a long time.
But even with the implementation of some algorithms of continuous, smooth play, changing the opponent leads to approximately the same result as, roughly speaking, the game with a random number generator, which OP mentioned above. In such games, the main thing is to predict the actions of a specific person - your opponent.
In this I see their uniqueness and a serious difference from playing with a computer or even playing with a group of people.
Thank you for your insightful comment! You’ve perfectly captured the essence of what makes PvP mode unique and exciting compared to playing against a random number generator or even in a group setting.
In PvP private rooms, the focus is indeed on outsmarting and predicting the actions of your specific opponent. This human element of strategy and psychology is what sets SkyControl apart from traditional crash games or RNG-based mechanics. The ability to anticipate your opponent’s decisions—whether they will cash out early or risk it all for a higher multiplier—adds a layer of skill and engagement that’s impossible to replicate with AI.
That being said, public Pool Betting rooms introduce a different kind of thrill, where you’re competing against a broader group of players. Here, it’s about timing and making the best decisions in a more dynamic environment with many variables at play.
We designed SkyControl to cater to both types of players:
Those who love the personalized, strategic challenge of PvP duels.
And those who enjoy the fast-paced, group-oriented excitement of Pool Betting.
Both modes are driven by the same idea: putting players in control and making every decision matter, ensuring a truly engaging and skill-based experience.
Thanks again for your comment, and feel free to share more thoughts or questions—we love discussing these ideas!
That is, in fact, they lead to the origins of gambling, when only man played with man.
In this I see the value of such an initiative.
