Title: proofcha.in - a simple game about blockchain Post by: Delek on May 24, 2016, 06:39:13 PM I was trying to explain to my girlfriend how the blockchain works and why it is so secure that I simplified the explanation to a point where I was able to build a little game.
The game objective is to make a fork longer than the mainchain. You havo to mine spending electricity and buying electricity spending money. Mining in the mainchain is difficult but gives you money, mining in a fork is easy but you will only waste power. I want to make this app a nice start for newcomers that want to understand why the blockchain is hard to hack! The game beta is live in: http://proofcha.in GitHub: https://github.com/proofchain All sounds were made by using my chipmusic tool called Deflemask (deflemask.com) Feel free to criticize, laugh or contribute to this blockchain-how-it-works-game. ;D Title: Re: proofcha.in - a simple game about blockchain Post by: btc_enigma on May 25, 2016, 12:47:48 PM Tried the game,
Could create a fork ... but could not mine a block. Kept left clicking but only electricity decreased. Can you simplify game mechanics a bit. Most people dont bother reading instructions Title: Re: proofcha.in - a simple game about blockchain Post by: Delek on May 28, 2016, 08:45:40 PM Yeah you may have bad luck at first. It is really easy to mine a block in a forked chain actually.

Because either I can't get how blockchain works or I am too dumb to understand how I can win in this game. Because every time I lose all my electricity and I can mine anything. But huge props to Op for creating something like this.

But the notifications should be displayed much longer, only after 4 times i was able to read it. |
