It is based on Marvel Snap a simple and fun game with a limited amount of turns and the simple objective to win 2 or more locations with characters with different powers & energies in your deck. The real fun comes after playing, with a Data Dao centered around the proporgation and control of assets. collectibles and more. After playing a game a user can post their results from the on chain game to either the same chain or different. From there they can redeem a collectible an NFT that rich with metadata such as the live game stream and characters/skins unlocked.

Solution

We used a lot of early tools in development that are trailblazing like Filecoin and the FVM. One of the core pieces is MUD a solidity based ECS framework that makes building games simpler and more composable. With the potential to not only be useful in games but other application where have quick composability is needed. Along with mud we used Lighthouse to store files and uploads. The encryption and access control features were helpful for building out some of the DAO functionality to limit access to streams. We also utilized livepeer and huddle for in game functionality like audio and chat texting, with the ability to livestream to platforms like YouTube. ChainSafe's Unity SDK is used for making RPC requests to MUD contracts.Behind the scenesDAO Smack is serverless, using the EVM as its backend.We originally planned to run on the FEVM, but were unable due to compatibility issues with Forge.All assets are hosted with Lighthouse storage.Using FEVM as a settlement layer to reward players after gameplay.Your deck is determined by the squad (earth, fire, etc) you chooseDAO Smack is currently hosted on an official MUD.dev testnet (see above)Using Chainlink's Unity SDK to connect to wallet and send RPC requests.We wrote code for commit-reveal style gameplay but didn't have time to fully implement.Using Unity's WebGL to embed game in React frame with other web3 components like Huddle and Livepeer.Using real user wallets instead of dummy wallets in browser. Your gameplay is really linked to your wallet and immortalized on the FEVM.
