To be successful, you must possess the skill to make the right move at the right moment.</p> <p>The full game rules can be found at <a href="https://github.com/hiukim/thirdweb-game/blob/master/Rules.md">https://github.com/hiukim/thirdweb-game/blob/master/Rules.md</a></p> <p>The tech stack is as follows:</p> <p>The backend is implemented as a smart contract that can be deployed on an EVM-compatible blockchain. All the gaming data and players' moves are stored on-chain and are publicly viewable and verifiable.</p> <p>I used ContractKit provided by thirdWeb, which allowed me to deploy the contract easily and manage it in a web dashboard.</p> <p>The frontend gaming interface is developed with Unity using thirdWeb GamingKit. The gaming kit allows me to connect to a wallet and interact with the smart contract easily, so I can focus on the actual game implementation. The project can be exported to a WebGL application hosted on the web. The gaming kit also supports deploying the game to IPFS directly without any hassle.</p> <p>A test version of the game is deployed to the Goerli network and IPFS, and here is a playable link for anyone interested: <a href="https://gateway.ipfscdn.io/ipfs/QmUudgzEzso4p3AJA4BmJGJbcu8qGJJP2sz77rdrDWUFJ9/">https://gateway.ipfscdn.io/ipfs/QmUudgzEzso4p3AJA4BmJGJbcu8qGJJP2sz77rdrDWUFJ9/</a></p>
