Introducing Crash Glow - Hackathon update #1

Gaming is coming to Nostr!

Crash Glow is a nostr-based web app for publishing and playing games. The ultimate vision is to enable game developers to publish games that can be exported to html (pico8, bitsy, unity, etc.) directly on nostr as events and surface them in the Crash Glow client.

In the first couple of weeks of the hackathon, the minimum viable product for Crash Glow has been defined as the following:
- Publish Pico8 games as Nostr events
- Serve those games in our UI using neventID

Early MVP Flow Documentation

Arkinox has made significant progress toward delivering this MVP. In addition to building out the Crash Glow client itself, he has created an approach dubbed "Chunkey Monkey" to chunk large notes, publish them to nostr, and reassemble them. This process is necessary to host and retrieve large game files on nostr, but we're also excited about how it might be used in other applications.

We also have created a new logo and name, moving from the working name, "Satoshi Arcade" to "Crash Glow!" This move provides us with a distinct brand that is easier to identify and distinguish from other apps that use lightning and bitcoin-focused branding.

We feel very close to realizing the first steps of games' collision with the social layer of nostr, and we look forward to sharing more updates and a demo soon!
