Cloud Api Call To Find Random Challenge Matches.

I know you guys are still working on the documentation, but patience is not one of my virtues  I had been creating games, and issuing random challenges but have unable to divine which API call returns a list of free random challenge games.  getMatches only returns the challenger’s matches, where does the challenged find those games?  For that matter how can you issue a challenge to a friend?

Thanks

People requesting random matches are put into a queue and when someone else requests a random match, the two are paired up and the game is started and will show up in your getMatches() list.  A flag in the match will indicate if it’s random or not.  Both players should receive a notification upon the match up.

You can only have one active random match quest active at once.

Sounds exactly what we need for our next game.

Please, please more documentation on multiplayer and some examples…

I promise the guide for multiplayer is coming soon.

That Worked, Thanks.  How about challenging someone you know?

You would need to find them in your facebook friends or use an email address or username.  Then you can use the findUser() call to see if you find a match.  If you don’t then you can send an email asking them to install your app (or send them an apprequest through Facebook).  If you find them in the results, you can check to make sure your game is one of their games and then add them to match.  If they don’t have your game installed, you can send an email if you know their email address.
