address[] public players;
mapping(address => bool) private activePlayers;

I want to avoid duplicate players to enter in players array, so i want to understand if i create a such mapping with address pointing to bool. and once the game is over can i loop through the mapping and reset it ? is it even possible to reset the mapping. Is there any other efficient way to check if an address exists in an array like players?

You need another private or internal function that returns(bool isPresent) and have the other function run it before adding the address.

"Resetting" a mapping is possible, but it's more viable to just create an array of mappings and have it iterate whenever you go to a new round to avoid that cost altogether.
