Show HN: Crypto Rock Paper Scissors over WebSockets

1 pointsby HeroOfAgesover 1 year ago
Hey HN,<p>I&#x27;ve just launched a new game that I think this community might find interesting. It&#x27;s a decentralized take on the classic Rock Paper Scissors game, but with a twist – it uses cryptocurrency to place real stakes on the outcomes. No signup necessary, but you will need a browser with native support for Web3 like Opera or Brave, or a crypto wallet with an integrated browser like MetaMask. You may have to wait for a moment to be matched with an opponent due to a small, but growing player base, though refreshing the browser could get you a match more quickly.<p>Features: - *Smart Contracts*: Each game is governed by a transparent smart contract, ensuring fairness and non-repudiation. - *Crypto Integration*: Currently supporting only ETH, but support for custom tokens coming soon. - *Decentralized Verification*: Game outcomes are verified through a decentralized network to prevent tampering. - *WebSockets*: Real-time data exchange notifies you immediately of the outcome of any game: win, lose, draw, or refund.<p>I built this as an experiment to explore game theory and smart contract interactions in a simple, yet familiar setting. I&#x27;m curious to see how introducing real stakes with cryptocurrency might change the way people play Rock Paper Scissors.<p>You can try out a Sepolia testnet version here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;test.crypto-rockpaperscissors.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;test.crypto-rockpaperscissors.com</a><p>I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback on the game mechanics, smart contract security, UI&#x2F;UX, and any other aspect of the game. If you&#x27;re into crypto, gaming, or both, I&#x27;d especially appreciate your take on how it could be improved or what features you&#x27;d like to see next.<p>Thanks for checking it out!
