First Draft (obsolete)#

The Dark Forest is an experimental 100% smart-contract code based on Rinkeby network.
It is designed to explore the current limitation of full blockchain game and build the framework for the next genre of P2E game.
Due to the time frame of #Hackathon, the game scope will just be a simple prototype while this docs clarify the vision of a true blockchain on Ethereum would look like.

What is this game about?#

The dark forest is a [[meme]] civilization building, strategy game. With self-contained-economy and community-ownership in mind as core-value, along with the nature of blockchain [[transparency]] as a whole, this create some unique game mechanics.

The player will be given a unique NFT space to develop their civilization.
Each new civ can choose their [[specialty]] path to focus on.

Player can focus on [[economy]] which give player an exponential growth effect for their [[production]] later.
Or it can be a focus on [[war-system]], which allow player to invade other to loot [[locked resources]] and [[token]].

Every victory invader have the [[choice]] to annihilate the defender. By that means the NFT contract can be completely burned/self-destruct by other forever.
The consequence for losing is designed to be this devastating is the core-value that make this game unique. By removing the capability of trust.

This allow the possibility of some dark scenario that can happen. Hence the name of the game (inspired by the actual novel).
