Decentralized Games: Play Fair, Play Secure, Play On-Chain.

Welcome to the Decentralized Games Platform, a cutting-edge project that merges classic board games with the innovation of blockchain technology. Built on Linera’s Layer 1 architecture, our platform provides a secure, transparent, and engaging environment for game enthusiasts to enjoy on-chain gameplay.

Currently, you can enjoy:

  • MicroChess: Play classic chess in a decentralized and secure environment.

Features

  • Decentralized Multiplayer: Compete with others in a trustless, decentralized environment using Linera's temporary chain architecture. Enjoy real-time gameplay without relying on a central authority.
  • Efficient Bitboard Representation: Manage and compute game states quickly with bitboards, ensuring smooth gameplay.
  • Immutable Game History: All moves and outcomes are recorded on the blockchain for a permanent, tamper-proof record.
  • Web3 Integration: Seamlessly interact with blockchain features through an intuitive web interface.
  • Future Enhancements: Planned updates include computer opponents for solo play and premium features for advanced users.

To get started with the Decentralized Game Platform, follow these steps:
