How we built it

We had a lot of fun building on Thirdweb and the mentors were really helpful. Thirdweb has a vibrant discord community to help you kickstart building dApps.

Unity is used to build the game, engine and logic.

Metamask Wallet: For secure authentication with the Goerli Blockchain.

Thirdweb Gamingkit: For wallet connection and communicating with contracts on chain.

Thirdweb Token Drop Contract: for creating token ($CQT game token and NFT tokens).

Thirdweb Marketplace Contract: For creating and utilizing an in-game marketplace.

Thirdweb Edition Contract: For releasing many NFTs based on the same asset.

OpenZeppelin Gasless Relayers: For making transactions on the chain gasless.

Thirdweb Cli: For deploying game to IPF.

Challenges we ran into

Integration with blockchain: Integrating the game with the blockchain can be complex and requires a deep understanding of the underlying technology. It may also require writing smart contracts or utilizing existing ones.

Security: Ensuring that the game's interactions with the blockchain are secure is critical to prevent hacking or exploitation of the system.

Scalability: As the number of players increases, the game's ability to handle increased load and data processing becomes a challenge. This is especially important when dealing with blockchain transactions, which can take longer to process.

User experience: Creating a seamless user experience that integrates the game with the blockchain can be a challenge. The game must be designed in a way that makes it easy for users to interact with the blockchain and to understand their NFTs and rewards.

Gas fees: Interactions with the blockchain often come with a cost in the form of gas fees. Finding ways to reduce the impact of these fees on the player's experience while still ensuring the security and integrity of the game can be a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The accomplishments that we are proud are would be:

  • Mastery of building on Goerli blockchain with help of Thirdweb.
  • Seamless integration of Goerli blockchain into the game via Thirdweb Smart Contracts.
  • Innovative gameplay featuring multiple character and weapon NFTs minted on chain using the Thirdweb Marketplace contract, leading to one of the best NFT storefronts yet.
  • Deployment on IPFS.
  • Multiple wallet support (Coinbase and Metamask).
  • Introducing DeFi aspect through the Play2Earn paradigm.
  • Level generator for unlimited levels from assets.
  • User-friendly weapon buy menu to buy weapons using $CQT token.

What we learned

Building decentralised Play2Earn games was a thrilling challenge, given the rapid growth of its community and the emergence of new resources every day for BUIDLing. Despite the hurdles, we were able to tackle them effectively thanks to the guidance of mentors and participation in workshops. We are proud of the progress we've made. With the help of Thirdweb unity SDK and smart contracts it got easier to add features like marketplace custom token etc. We were able to integrate everything with ease using Thirdweb.
