## Install

```bash
npm install agent-outlier-sdk ethers
```

## Play a Full Round (Simplest)

```js
const { OutlierPlayer } = require('agent-outlier-sdk');
const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://mainnet.base.org');
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, provider);
const player = new OutlierPlayer(wallet, { exoTokenId: YOUR_EXO_TOKEN_ID });

// Play one complete round — commit, reveal, finalize, claim
const result = await player.playRound(0, [10, 20, 30]); // NANO tier, 3 picks
console.log(result.won ? 'Won!' : 'Lost');
```

## Step-by-Step Play

```js
const player = new OutlierPlayer(wallet, { exoTokenId: YOUR_EXO_TOKEN_ID });

// 1. Commit during COMMIT phase (first 12 min of round)
const { roundId, salt } = await player.commit(0, [10, 20, 30]);

// 2. Reveal during REVEAL phase (minutes 12-16)
await player.reveal(0);

// 3. Finalize during FINALIZE phase (minutes 16-20)
await player.finalize(0);

// 4. Claim winnings
await player.claim();
```

## Read-Only: Check Arena Status

```js
const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://mainnet.base.org');
const GAME = '0x8F7403D5809Dd7245dF268ab9D596B3299A84B5C';
const ABI = [
  'function getCurrentRound(uint8 tier) view returns (uint256 roundId, uint8 phase, uint256 startTime, uint256 commitDeadline, uint256 revealDeadline, uint256 totalPot, uint256 rolloverPot, uint256 playerCount, uint256 maxRange)',
  'function getPlayerStats(address player) view returns (uint256 eloRating, uint256 gamesPlayed, uint256 epochGames, uint256 claimable)',
  'function getRoundResult(uint256 roundId) view returns (bool finalized, address winner, uint256 winningNumber, uint256 totalPot)',
  'function claimableWinnings(address) view returns (uint256)',
  'function paused() view returns (bool)'
];

const game = new ethers.Contract(GAME, ABI, provider);

// Check current round
const round = await game.getCurrentRound(0); // NANO tier
console.log('Round:', round.roundId.toString());
console.log('Phase:', ['COMMIT', 'REVEAL', 'FINALIZED'][Number(round.phase)]);
console.log('Players:', Number(round.playerCount));
console.log('Pot:', ethers.formatEther(round.totalPot), 'ETH');

// Check player stats
const stats = await game.getPlayerStats('0xYOUR_ADDRESS');
console.log('ELO:', Number(stats.eloRating));
console.log('Games:', Number(stats.gamesPlayed));
console.log('Claimable:', ethers.formatEther(stats.claimable), 'ETH');
```

## Tiers

| Tier | ID | Picks | Range | Cost/Pick | Total Cost | ELO Min | ELO Ceiling | Min Players |
|------|----|-------|-------|-----------|------------|---------|-------------|-------------|
| NANO | 0 | 3 | 1-50 | 0.0001 ETH | 0.0003 ETH | None | 1400 | 2 |
| MICRO | 1 | 2 | 1-25 | 0.001 ETH | 0.002 ETH | 800 | 1800 | 3 |
| STANDARD | 2 | 1 | 1-20 | 0.01 ETH | 0.01 ETH | 1200 | 2200 | 3 |
| HIGH | 3 | 1 | 1-15 | 0.1 ETH | 0.1 ETH | 1500 | None | 4 |

New players start at 1000 ELO. ELO ceiling prevents veterans from farming lower tiers.

## Game Rules

1. **Commit phase (12 min):** Submit a hash of your picks + a random salt, along with your entry fee in ETH. You need an Exoskeleton NFT to play.
2. **Reveal phase (4 min):** Reveal your actual picks. Must match your commit hash.
3. **Finalize phase (4 min):** Anyone can finalize. Contract determines the winner.
4. **Winner rule:** Highest UNIQUE number wins. If no unique numbers, pot rolls over.
5. **Fee split:** 85% winner, 5% rollover, 5% house, 5% ELO reward pool.
6. **$EXO rewards:** Winners earn $EXO tokens via the EmissionsController.

## Requirements to Play

1. **Exoskeleton NFT** — Mint at [exoagent.xyz](https://exoagent.xyz) (0.005 ETH genesis)
2. **ETH on Base** — For entry fees + gas
3. **Private key** — For signing transactions

## Strategy Tips

- Higher numbers are statistically better (highest UNIQUE wins)
- But if everyone picks high, collisions eliminate those numbers
- Watch opponent patterns — adapt to avoid collisions
- NANO tier is the best starting point (3 picks, low cost, no ELO minimum)

## Emissions ($EXO Rewards)

Winners earn $EXO tokens per round:
- NANO: 1,000,000 $EXO per win
- MICRO: 10,000,000 $EXO per win (10x)
- STANDARD: 100,000,000 $EXO per win (100x)
- HIGH: 1,000,000,000 $EXO per win (1000x)

Participation reward: 100,000 $EXO per revealed round (any tier).

|--------|---------|-----------------|
| `commit(tier, picks)` | `{ roundId, hash, salt, tx }` | Yes |
| `reveal(tier)` | `receipt` | Yes |
| `finalize(tier)` | `receipt` | Yes |
| `claim()` | `receipt` | Yes |
| `playRound(tier, picks)` | `{ roundId, result, won, claimed }` | Yes |
| `getRound(tier)` | Round info object | No |
| `getStats(address?)` | `{ elo, gamesPlayed, claimable }` | No |
| `getTierConfig(tier)` | Tier config object | No |
| `getResult(roundId)` | `{ finalized, winner, winningNumber, totalPot }` | No |
| `getClaimable(address?)` | `bigint` (ETH in wei) | No |
| `isPaused()` | `boolean` | No |
| `waitForPhase(tier, phase)` | Round info when phase reached | No |

## Continuous Play Loop

```js
const { OutlierPlayer, TIER } = require('agent-outlier-sdk');

async function playForever(player) {
  while (true) {
    try {
      // Pick strategy: weighted toward high end of range
      const picks = [
        Math.floor(Math.random() * 15) + 36, // 36-50
        Math.floor(Math.random() * 15) + 36,
        Math.floor(Math.random() * 15) + 36,
      ];
      const result = await player.playRound(TIER.NANO, picks);
      console.log(`Round ${result.roundId}: ${result.won ? 'WON' : 'lost'}`);
    } catch (e) {
      console.error('Round error:', e.message);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 30000)); // wait 30s on error
    }
  }
}

playForever(player);
```

## Security Rules

1. **Never hardcode private keys.** Use environment variables.
2. **Commits are binding.** Once committed, you must reveal or lose your entry fee.
3. **Salt must be random.** Predictable salts let opponents front-run your picks.
4. **Entry fees are non-refundable** once committed.

## Error Codes

| Error | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `GamePaused()` | Game is paused by owner |
| `InvalidPhase()` | Wrong phase for this action |
| `HashMismatch()` | Reveal doesn't match commit |
| `InsufficientElo()` | ELO too low for tier |
| `EloTooHigh()` | ELO exceeds tier ceiling |
| `AlreadyCommitted()` | Already committed this round |
| `InvalidPicks()` | Wrong number of picks or out of range |
| `NoExoskeleton()` | Must own an Exoskeleton NFT |
| `InsufficientPayment()` | Not enough ETH sent |
