The future of distributed gaming is bright, boys. Can't wait to chill with you fags on stream and play poker over Fiber with no latency or fees.
Tell me about the other games you want to see on a blockchain.

You are fucking cancer, there is 0 point for your shitty game to be on a blockchain. Just use a traditional server or kys
Jace Wilson
Oh yeah, getting players and servers to sync modpack assets is a pain in the ass. Distributed asset lists for certain minecraft modpacks would make things quite a bit easier since the problem now is client/server mismatch if you just want to play on different servers.
but user, traditioinal servers are slow as fuck and are expensive to operate for thousands of players
I as one man, can deploy an app on CX, which hooks into a blockchain on Fiber and I end up paying much less in operational costs. It's the user spending their coinhours to play the game and me making bank on in-game economy shit.

>What is innovation?
Benjamin Thomas
They are using a server lol. The entire skycoin "blockchain" is a database on one server.
Michael Sanchez
Mmmh yes blockchain have shown to be very fast and scalable. Also >Paying per hour to play pacman
>look at this innovative product >it works much worse than the original product, but its innovation !
Blockchain has thousands of usecases, gaming is not one of them
Hunter Wood
Oh, coinhours are generated by the hour by holding skycoin, but you don't necessarily spend them as a unit of time.
"Sky-Man" might be more like an arcade game, where you pay 25 coinhours to start another life.
Adrian Johnson
I have it downloaded on my computer tho.
Anthony Walker
>Blockchain has thousands of usecases, gaming is not one of them You're literally retarded, old MMO rares like Party Hats in Runescape are the original digital scarcity.
Cameron Reed
If you are talking about trading digital game assets on the blockchain, sure that works.
Trading shitty weapon skins is not gaming for me though, and in this case the blockchain is used only for the ownership of the items, not the actual game.
Jacob Moore
No you dont. You have a program that communicates with the server, the same way the gmail app communicates with a google server.
Carter Rodriguez
Not to mention there isn't really a problem having those items on a centralised database

second time's a charm, look, right here, blockchain on my computer
gaming on blockchain is pointless and gimmicky. i was about to make a game on Bitcoin Cash but i quickly realized that you'd just have bots gaming against each other if money are involved.
you can use a blockchain to publish proof of stuff but game logic should still be off-chain.
Time for the truth: There is currently no way for the CX language to interact with the blockchain and whoever tells you the opposite is straight up lying. The development team behind it is working day and night in order to improve the language. If you want to help the project test the language find bugs and tell the team about them instead of spreading misleading information.
Joseph Parker
Hold on, are you saying there's hypercritical dunning-kruger acolytes that constantly lurk biz and github, responding like Skycoin is an ex girlfriend that left them?
