elo-calculator 0.1.1

An elo calculator built in Rust. Capable of calculating elos for 1v1 and multiplayer events.

Elo Calculator

An elo calculator built in Rust.

Elo scores represent the relative skill of a player or team in a game. The amount of points awarded is based on the difference in scores of the participants. For example if a player with a low elo beats a player with a high elo, the player with the low elo will receive a large gain, while the other player will lose the same number of points.

This elo calculator allows for 1v1 as well as multiplayer match calculations. For multiplayer matches, each player match up is calculated and the sum total elo change is applied.

PyPI Package

pip install elo-calculator

Python bindings expose access to the primary classes and functions

• Entry → represents a player or team
• quick_calc → calculate new elos between two players without using Entry object
• update_elos_for_group → calculates the new elos for a single match
• update_elos_for_sequence → calculates the changes in elos for a sequence of matches

from elo_calculator import Entry, update_elos_for_group, update_elos_for_sequence, quick_calc

k = 32 # this determines the scale of change applied

# create our entries using the Entry object
a = Entry(id="1", name="dk", place=1, input_elo=1234)
b = Entry(id="2", name="toad", place=2, input_elo=888)

# calculate new elos for our event
res = update_elos_for_group([a, b], k)

print(res)
# [
#   Entry(id='1', name='dk', place=1, input_elo=Some(1234), output_elo=Some(1238)), 
#   Entry(id='2', name='toad', place=2, input_elo=Some(888), output_elo=Some(884))
# ]

# add another event with the same participants
# note that as long as the `input_elo` only needs to be provided if it is the first occurance of the entry id
a2 = Entry(id="1", name="dk", place=1)
b2 = Entry(id="2", name="toad", place=2)

res2 = update_elos_for_sequence([[a,b], [a2,b2]], k)

print(res2)
# [
#   [
#       Entry(id='1', name='dk', place=1, input_elo=Some(1234), output_elo=Some(1238)),
#       Entry(id='2', name='toad', place=2, input_elo=Some(888), output_elo=Some(884))
#   ],
#   [
#       Entry(id='1', name='dk', place=1, input_elo=Some(1238), output_elo=Some(1242)),
#       Entry(id='2', name='toad', place=2, input_elo=Some(884), output_elo=Some(880))
#   ]
# ]

# simple function for quick calculations with the Entry object
print(quick_calc(1000, 1234, k))
# (1025, 1209)
