We were inspired by the fickle nature of speculative assets, and decided to put our skills together to create a web-based game about it.
Our game simulates a real market by reacting to buy and sell orders placed by players in real time. While players gain a small amount of idle income, the goal of our game is to create a system where making trades is the best way to increase a players in game net worth.
Our project is completely written in TypeScript and hosted on a Azure server. We store all user data using Atlas cloud hosted MongoDB, and authenticate user sessions using PropelAuth.
The biggest challenge we experienced was two of our members not knowing TypeScript/Svelte, as our entire project is written in it.
We are happy to have made a complete (enough) submission for the hackathon. This is three of our members first hackathon, so its a new experience to have to spend this much time crunching on a project. All in all I think everyone on our team is satisfied with the results of our work and enjoyed spending the weekend competing.
Our Azure subscription running out at the end of the month. We would like to announce our projects EOL. Thank you for your support.
