it means that even though the game itself might be complex, since there wont be a need to implement a game engine, it turns out to be much easier
to support blockchain enforcing any specific game, all nodes will need to be able to evaluate the outcome of all the moves
so the research for each game should also find the best open source project that implements that game, if the gameplay is non-trivial
I guess Im just interested to find out if it is in the plans to include other games besides traditional casino games. And by include other games, I mean not the game engine, but the blockchain enforcing part.
To bring it back to huntercoin, they forked namecoin, replaced the url part with game state moves, and modded the wallet to allow gameplay, also a third partydev created another more advanced gameplay wallet.
So Im hoping that this blockchain enforcing part or what ever its called is foreward thinking to be robust enough that games from mmo to say smash brothers (not just casino) can have their game state run on these chips lightning networks.
[chips also excites me because gambling was one of Satoshi's original uses for bitcoin, so I see this as inline with the original vision]
