[GAME] Bitcoin Candle Rain - A Casual Game Powered by Live BTC Price

[TedMosby]

CATCH THE CANDLE RAIN
A game powered by live Binance BTC/USDT 1-second candles.


 /// INTRO  The name of this game is Bitcoin Candle Rain (Candle Rain).
It's a casual game where there is a Bitcoin character trying to catch all the candles falling from the sky like it's raining candles.
What makes this different is that the candle rain doesn't fall randomly.
It depends on the live BTC/USDT candle chart on Binance, with a 1s timeframe. A slight delay may still happen.



 /// GAMEPLAY  In the Bitcoin Candle Rain game, you have 60 seconds to score as many points as you can.
You may end up with negative points if you don't catch the candles wisely.

There are 3 kinds of candles in this game: green, red, and gray. Each color has different points as shown below.
Again, these 3 candles don't fall randomly from the sky. They're based on Binance's BTC/USDT 1-second candle chart.
In short, the candle rain reflects the current BTC market situation.
Green candles when the price goes up, red candles when it goes down, and gray candles when the opening and closing prices are the same.



To make it more interesting and challenging, there are 3 items that can boost/reduce your points and make it easier/harder for you to catch the candles. It depends on your skill, the market situation, and decision making. Sounds familiar? Yeah, almost the same as trading BTC.

These are the 3 items available in this Bitcoin Candle Rain game.





 /// FEATURES  Not much, just like other casual games.

• Leaderboard.
• Recent players.
• Share link, share image, and download image of your individual score.
• On/off sound.

 /// LESSON FROM THE GAME  This game is actually close to the Bitcoin space, especially BTC trading.
For example, on your way to catch 3 green candles, you may need to take 1 red candle as a risk.
The magnet in this game can also be a reminder for us that not all opportunities can end up being good for you.
Small, normal, and big character sizes can teach us a lesson that size doesn't matter. Small traders, normal traders, and big traders all come with their own risks.



 /// FEEDBACK  If you have tried it, I'd appreciate it if you could post your feedback here. This is my first time building a game.
But one important note, I built it through vibe coding. Skip it if you are not a fan of vibe coding.

I have played it before this ANN was created and I am telling everyone the fact that this game is so engaging and bliss that anyone playing this game will keep coming over and over. It is a simple and easy to play game but the way it has been presented has amazed me. LOL! I never thought Bitcoin would catch those objects dropped from the sky, which will lead to points and the best player showing up on the leaderboard.

I think/feel everyone should give it a try.

I've posted my comment on your local board thread OP, but I'll add that maybe you can add a unique ID for every session for people who like to share their results, and make sure it's verifiable? I haven't tried it yet, but what would happens when different people use the same name? For example "asd", "qwerty", etc. Is there a flag session or something similar that prevents multiple users from using the same name? What if someone forget their previous username?

Haha... Thank you for playing. Don't forget to also check out a collection of tools related to Bitcoin created by Cointikka in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5584094.

I also can’t wait to see and try your game next. I hope there’s some Bitcoin data involved in your game too, so it can attract Bitcointalk users here. We’ve already been doing block hash and price guessing for a long time. We need more alternative games

There’s a unique ID for every session. It’s not verifiable yet by the players, only one sided verification from my game's side. When you click to share a link, it would look like this example:
https://candlerain.vercel.app/?result=eyJwdXJwb3NlIjoic2hhcmUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoxLCJydW5JZCI6IjUxZmM5ZTM3LWFlMWMtNGFjNC1hMjZiLTM5MGYzM2ZkMjdmYSIsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiVGVkTW9zYnkiLCJzY29yZSI6Mzl9.zK9IJdQ87iLMflye-pwPf7kkOaLwIT35Brvtyo9v8co

The same name won't show up as different players on the leaderboard or in recent players. Names may be the same, but each session is unique and only attached to a unique link like the one I posted above. I tried to make this game as casual as possible so users can just type a random name and play. No need to log in, remember passwords, etc. So, if this game is used one day for an event, for competitive purposes, the players need to save that link as proof of participation. For example, players DM those links to the campaign manager, then post their usernames as replies in the thread. If I am not mistaken, it's the same as campaign involving multipliers competitions in Games and Rounds board. Sorry, I am really bad at explaining things. I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.

I am still working on it. There are a few small technical details that I need to work on before the beta & test launch. I am hoping that before the month ends I will be able to do the soft launch for the community to test it and provide feedback.

Would you consider a daily challenge where everyone plays the same recorded sequence of candles? Alongside the live mode, that could make score comparisons more meaningful, since players would face the same conditions.

Are you suggesting a 1x1 battle? That will be a great input to the current game. I am not sure what the OP has done in the background of this game but I say he has a database. If OP wants, that database can be expanded depending on the usage allowed, as he is using a free hosting service. I assume 1x1 battle can be achieved if he opts for database-based clouds. This is my point of view, as I am not smart enough to ask him.
