Rather than ask users to pay money, their computers could mine coins in the background to an address owned by the game. Then you could use some formula of hashes donated and points earned to pay them x amount.

I think this is a pretty good idea. I have been looking for a game where the game developers are using Crypto currencies directly and not as some counter party token. I also think games can benefit tremendously from micro payment features offered by many of these coins, including the Lightning Network.  Huh

How will you manage the "entry" point? Some people might want to enter the game at the end of the month, when the price of the coins are determined and then claim the highest rewards?

Where will the Alt coins be stored?

I currently play a game called Call Of War where you play a month (or two!) campaign to take over the world.

They have multiple games available to start each week but once you get started everyone is in that game for a while.

It would be a lot easier to only use currencies that implement the Lightning Network. There there's no reason to store coins on some central server.

I too would love it if the currency of a game was bitcoin over the lightning network. Should be easy enough to implement.

Had an idea for a video game.

Basically like an RPG battle type of system where everyone chooses their race (elf, dwarf, human, orc, etc.) which each have their own abilities, weapons, armor, etc. They're all at war with each other. They also all have their own currencies. And those currencies are cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, Monero, ETH, etc.).

Everyone pays like $1 worth of their currency at the beginning of the game cycle (like a month or so). You create a character and level up, etc. within your tribe. Your currency fluctuates during that time which may give you access to better weapons if your currency does well or you'll struggle if the price goes down.

You battle other races and can get their money/weapons if you kill someone. At the end you get to keep what you gained during the cycle (minus a cut for the game developer).

If all the crypto prices stay the same then all races would have equal chances of winning outside of some playability of the players. This would have people rooting for their particular currency throughout that month watching the price even when they're not playing.

Thoughts?
Among with these list BTC, LTC, Monero, ETH, Players would definitely choose up the most volatile coin rather than on a stable like movement. If weapon upgrade/degrade will vary on percentage movement of all the coins then i will choose up the cheaper one than on purchasing ETH or BTC. This is somehow a complex idea to be implemented and need to arrange or do set carefully about that Crypto possession thing for upgrades.
