Topic: [ANN] XAYA 🌟True Blockchain Gaming 🌟 Fully Decentralized Games - page 27. (Read 95165 times)

Since Xaya is not just a blockchain project but a platform for blockchain games, we are not only working on the core blockchain infrastructure but also additional layers that make it easy to develop fully decentralised games.  The first step in this direction is the game-specific ZeroMQ interface we designed, whose main parts are already implemented and tested in the Xaya Core daemon.  Using this interface directly, however, still requires messing around with potentially unreliable ZMQ notifications and handling of blockchain-specifics like reorgs.

Thus, we are also building libxayagame:  A library that interfaces to the core daemon through the ZMQ interface and handles all the blockchain-specific processing.  This makes it super easy to develop fully decentralised games on the Xaya platform, without any prior blockchain experience or knowledge.  All you have to do to implement a game is to provide functions that implement your game rules; namely by computing a new game state from the old state and a set of moves.  The library then handles all the rest for you.

This is still very much a work in progress with lots of missing pieces before it can be used in production, but it can already be used in development and early testing.  So if you are interested in developing a game on Xaya, I strongly encourage you to take a look at libxayagame and the integrated example game "Movers".  It can probably save you a lot of messing around with ZeroMQ, blockchain reorgs and other stuff.

Haven't followed this for a long time. Glad to see the project is definitely getting traction after such a long wait...

As I understand the blockchain in live and so the PoW is active already.

However this raises a question - if the total supply is unknown and is to be determined only after the main sale is over, how the PoW structure is defined now, to ensure the PoW miners will get exactly 40% of supply..? Will the PoW reward be recalculated/adjusted after the main sale?

40,5% is for the Token Sale.
40,0% is for Proof of Work.
10,0% is for the company.
4,5% is for HUC snapshot.
3,5% is for Bonus Campaign.
1,5% is for Advisors/other.

All unsold coins will be burnt. All sold coins will represent 40,5% of total supply. When the amount of sold coins is known, the rest can be calculated and the total supply will be known.

Blockchain-based gaming
To continue on from the above discussion, a reasonably new addition to the industry is that of blockchain-based gaming. By utilizing the decentralized characteristics of the blockchain protocol, gaming developers have the potential to cut out of the middle-man and market their designs directly to the consumer.

Moreover, it also provides a seamless barrier to entry, as there is no requirement to inject resources in the hosting of an independent server.

In terms of monetization, blockchain-based gaming has the opportunity to install a similar model to that of mobile gaming, insofar that users are not charged a fee to play but they do have the option of purchasing additional in-game products. However, the key difference is that instead of using conventional payment methods such as a debit or credit card, users pay with cryptocurrencies.

Although this particular gaming segment is still in its infancy, the first blockchain-based game was actually launched back in 2013. Huntercoin – built on top of the Namecoin code, also offers players the chance to earn rewards in the form of its own native HUC token through ongoing gameplay.

Known as human mining, unlike popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin – whereby the only way to earn new coins through mining is to contribute vast amounts of electricity, Huntercoin issues new coins to players when they reach certain milestones within the game.

Interestingly, the team behind the Huntercoin project have recognised growing consumer appetite for blockchain-based gaming and as such, are launching XAYA – a decentralized platform that that will provide an open-source gateway for developers to host their games on a blockchain infrastructure, allowing for 24/7 uptime.

Just like in the case of Huntercoin, not only will innovative developers be able to monetize on their designs but the end-user will also have the opportunity to earn rewards in the form of the tokens.

Has this game been announced already, maybe only on Telegram? The month is over now. I am interested to know what this mega game might be?

any bounty?

Some inside information from snailbrain in telegram:

This isn't unique and really it never works. Game developers will just create their own coin/token and make more off of it then using XAYA. If I create a virtual world game, I'll create my own coin to go with that game.

I repeat my question -

XAYA, What about asic resistance? Huh

need fork to new algo or something else  

Neoscrypt asic's very strong...
