## 🕹️ Starting the Game

You can either **start the game through your own scripts** or use **the test command.**

**✅ Starting through your own scripts:**

```lua
local result = exports.vise_pair_matching_game:start()

print('game ended with result:', result)
```

**✅ Using the test command:**

Type command `/test_vise_pair_matching_game` in-game.

🔄 **Result (return value)**

The `start()` function will return `true` if the player finishes the game, or `false` if they fail or run out of time.\
\
If you're using a **callback**, the same `true` or `false` will be passed into the callback function.

```lua
local result = exports.vise_pair_matching_game:start()

if result then
    print('game completed')
else
    print('game failed')
end

-- You can also optionally use a callback to determine if game was completed or not
exports.vise_pair_matching_game:start(settings, function(result)
    if result then
        print('game completed')
    else
        print('game failed')
    end
end)
```

## 🔧 Settings

When starting the game, you can pass a **settings table** to customize how the game works.

Here are the available setting options:

* `numberOfPairs` – How many matching pairs the game should have *(default: 6)*
* `timeout` – How long (in seconds) the player has to finish the game *(default: 35)*

**Example settings:**

```lua
local settings = {
  numberOfPairs = 6,
  timeout = 35,
}
```

## 📦 Usage Examples

**Regular usage:**

```lua
local settings = {
  numberOfPairs = 6,
  timeout = 35,
}

local result = exports.vise_pair_matching_game:start(settings)

if result then
    print('game completed')
else
    print('game failed')
end
```

**Callback usage:**

```lua
local settings = {
  numberOfPairs = 6,
  timeout = 35,
}

exports.vise_pair_matching_game:start(settings, function(result)
    if result then
        print('game completed')
    else
        print('game failed')
    end
end)
```
