SpaceWarp Hackathon 2023 -- DAOSquad

This is the official SpaceWarp Hackathon 2023 submission for our project DAOSquad.

Project Description

DAOSquad is a platform building on chain communities and games our 1st POC is DAO Smack built using the Mud ECS(Enity Component System) framework. 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 power & effects in your deck. It translates well to fit on chain game models since there's at most 12 transactions and the game can be wagered based covering the cost of game actions.

Features

Focused on creating a fun and interactive experience DAO Smack has the following features:

• Users can pick a squad and play a game agaisnst another address by giving them the game ID.
• 6 turn game where each turn based on a players energy they can play cards from their deck on 1 of 3 locations.
• Eandomness is introduced in the drawing of cards and revealing of locations.
• In game audio and text chat, notifications, and livestreaming for friends and followers.
• Users earn collectibles (characters, locations, game stream) for playing games and can use them to unlock access to different assets in the DAO baszed on their rank.

How it Works

1. Users 1st join a Squad (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) then either create a game or join a game by entering the game id and setting/accepting the wager.
2. Upon joining the game the user has their Squads deck assigned to them to use in matches.
3. The game is played in 6 turns, each turn the user can play cards if they have enough energy, with the goal of winning 2 or more locations.After each turn the user gains energy.
4. The game is over after the 6th turn and the winner determined by the number of locations they have won based on the power/effects of the cards placed.
5. Users can earn collectibles (characters, locations) for playing games and can use them to create custom decks.
6. Users can join one of 4 teams (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) and earn team collectibles for playing games.

What's next?

Gameplay

• Add effect component for characters and locations to enhance the gameplay and make more dynamic
• Introduce elements as a components based on squad and enable locations to be controlled by squads and benefit their squad

Getting Started

The app is a monorepo using yarn workspaces. The packages directory holds the web client, smart contracts, and unity game. The web client is a Typescript React app using Vite and TailwindCSS. The contracts are written in Solidity, with Foundry for compiling, testing, and deployment. Lastly if doing Unity development you will need to install Unity 2020.3.2f1 then open in the editor to download the required packages.

Install yarn

npm i -g yarn

Install dependencies, this also generates the smart contract typescript bindings.

yarn

Copy & fill environments

cp packages/client/.env.local.example packages/client/.env.local
cp packages/contracts/.env.example packages/contracts/.env

Note: If doing Unity development you can run:

yarn build:unity

to build the unity game and copy the build to the web client.

Development

# Starts anvil chain node, web client, and deploy contracts to local chain.
yarn dev
