Hi, I would like to know a clear way of matching random players who are online for a 1-V-1 match in a word search game. Whoever discovers all 5 words first wins the round and match ends.
I'm new to Playfab and not very familiar with how matchmaking works in this service. Although I read a few answers around here, I did not see any clear steps anywhere.
Are there any examples using matchmaking in Playfab?
Also from what I could collect, Playfab SharedData is not an efficient way to do realtime matchmaking and hence Photon+Playfab should be used.
I'm no quite convinced on that solution as that means taking care of two different SDKs in Unity just for basic matchmaking, not to mention the additional expensive charges with Photon which our studio can't afford in development phase.
Can somebody please shed some light on this? Basically I want to match random players who login to our game with their Playfab accounts for a 1-V-1 match. (The players don't have know each other or be friends)
Also, if a solution exists, how would I go about obtaining the player ID of a random player who's online for the matchmaking process?
I'm actually migrating from Gamesparks to Playfab due to resent pricing changes, hence I want more clarity on the situation.
