First ever playable game on Nostr! - Hackathon update #2

The first game hosted on Nostr! ✅

  • Try it here: Crash Glow link with this game event ID: 7aa3aa7ab8eaa962ce1e87f473ee7d2bb9bf47353d0bd82b6fadff14175f2e11

  • This week, Arkinox fully implemented the MVP flow for Crash Glow. Users can now upload a pico8 game's javascript file onto nostr, and Crash Glow can retrieve that event and display it back as a playable game.

  • This represents Crash Glow's essential functionality. It is comprised of work involving chunking large files, storing them on Nostr, and piecing them together again when accessed by players. Now with Crash Glow, Nostr is a place for publishing and playing games.

Problems ✋

  • In-game controls may not be fully aligned with the button images, depending on your screen size.

  • Currently, the layout and sizing are best on mobile and there may be sizing issues with the interface on desktop.

Plans 📆

  • There's so much more we can do! We are looking to make layout fixes for desktop. And, we would also like to flesh out the home and collection pages with content specific to each player.

  • Longer term, we're looking at making other social elements of the nostr experience accessible on Crash Glow including zaps, comments, and reactions. We are also looking to incorporate additional payment flows like arcade-style pay-to-play and one-time purchases using e-cash.

  • We'll have to see how much we can add before the hackathon ends, but we're very excited about this progress!
