Oasis Bloom Hackathon submission May 12, 2022
As a kid in the eighties I enjoyed playing video games. The problem was for some games I neither had the skills nor large swaths of time to advance my game play. I wish there was a way to advance in games sans the large time commitment.
With the Play A Game Marketplace, you can buy or rent NTF game tokens to unlock levels in your games. If you are very skillful, you can bundle up your game achievements and sell, or rent them out to other players.
Using various open source tooling and the Oasis suite of blockchain technologies, we have put together a working proof of concept to demonstrate a NFT marketplace with a playable browser based game.
The biggest challenge is making the marketplace secure so that NTF's can't be pirated.
We integrated Parcel as the secure storage backend to keep the Game Tokens secure. We have created the foundation for game developers to use the system in an open and non-proprietary manner.
We learned a bunch about Parcel, Emerald, React, and other various frameworks.
When looking at the Compute capabilities of the OASIS platform, our future goal is to extend and enhance Parcel's computation framework by enabling GPU based work loads (think cloud gaming!!).
