The Dope Wars universe is an open-ended project with many limbs. The game engine seeks build the classic calculator game in the blockchain environment. The game design seeks to enable gameplay similar to the original experience, while also being expandable in other dimensions.
At a high level, this means players:
- Try to increase their inventory by swapping assets. By trading
cleverly they can out-compete other players.
- Trades are against non-playable dealers in different locations.
- 19 cities with 4 districts each.
- Dealers have 19 drugs in different inventories and administer trades using automated market maker rules.
- The game is unstable, with hard-to-predict events creating risk of personal loss and also trade opportunity.
Additional elements may be added through a mechanism outlined below. One element being explored is auto-battler combat mechanism that is used to appoint a Drug Lord in each region.
- Try to dethrone the local drug lord with a hand-crafted battler.
- Each city has a drug lord who takes a cut from each trade.
- Drug lords a appointed by battle (king of the hill).
Some dynamics may evolve around: - The market is transparent and opportunities openly visible. - Probabalistic events cause chaos and shake up the market. - Submitted drug lord battlers must take into account the current drug lord stats, but also defend against future challengers.
Expansions may be integrated to build out different elements into complementary game play environments that read +/- write to the same game state.
Users will be defined by their Account contract address later.
For now, manually declare the user_id.
User 733 goes to location 34 to buy (sell is 1,
buy is 0) item 5, giving 1000 units (of money), receiving whatever
that purchases.
bin/shell nile invoke 01_DopeWars have_turn 733 34 0 5 1000
Calling the check_user_state() function again reveals that the 100 units were
exchanged for some quantity of money.
bin/shell nile call 01_DopeWars check_user_state 733
Alternatively, see and do all of the above with the Voyager browser here.
