Title: [game, roguelike] Bitcoin Runner V0.1 Released Post by: StakeHunter on August 25, 2017, 03:23:13 AM Bitcoin Runner (BTCR) (https://github.com/JTeamDevelop/BTC-Runner) is a roguelike. You control a Runner who scours randomly generated Mazes in search of Relics of the past before the Mazes are devoured by the Nothing.
The unique facet is that the game is tied to the Bitcoin blockchain. Approximately every 10 minutes Bitcoin produces another block that contains over ~1900 transactions. These transactions are the foundations for the maps within the Mazes. All the transactions are evenly divided into 100 levels and each transaction hash becomes the seed for the map generator. The maps vary in size between 64 by 64 all the way up to massive 300 by 300 maps based upon the size and value of the BTC in the transaction. Each map is also randomly linked to the other maps on the same level - creating a vast web of maps to be explored. The goal is to explore each map and the maze and find the relics hidden within. These along with other treasures are randomly placed in each map, and their value is determined by the transaction. The game automatically saves your runner’s progress and the treasure and relics they collect give your Runner a score. Since block 480000 the app has been randomly selecting blocks to run. There are only a few mazes to run at any one time and everyone will run the same ones. Be warned though - each Maze only remains open for a short period of time: exactly 36 blocks. Blocks occur about every 10 minutes, but this can vary depending upon the network, so each maze will only remain open for roughly 6 hours. And if your runner remains in the maze once the time is up they will be lost forever. Run fast! How to Play Movement You can move up, down, left, and right by using the arrow keys or the arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can only move on the dots. Icons

- how we know the maze open? - the relic have a reward? - so, we compete with other player? *P.S : the game remind me the maze runner movie.

Sorry for the stupid question, but the name implied the notion though I did not find anything of that sort in the post description. Or is it just a game for entertainment or recreational purpose ? Since developers earn money from the games, think they should pay back some to the players too :) |
