The project

So this past week I built out my second dApp with the current cohort in the Buildspace community. This time round, the project was to create an NFT based game. The goal was to make a game where you could attack a big boss via a transaction on the blockchain that would use a game smart contract.

So like the previous dApp, this required some knowledge of Solidity to build out our smart contact, Hardhat to help us develop our dApp with ETH, and some frontend skills (React and JavaScript).

The project provides a template for the frontend part, but once again I used my web3 starter project. The benefit of building out with the web3 starter is I'm improving the starter project. 😎

Going off script

Like the first dApp I built, I made it my own. Here's some fun screenshots from the game I made.

If you're interested in how it's all built, I've open sourced it. I’m sure there’s some refactoring to do, but I’m really happy hour it turned out.

If you want to just check out the game, head on over to nftgame.iamdeveloper.com. Note that it's only on the Rinkeby test network so no real coin will be used.

Until next time!
