CKB Arcade - Building Fair Gaming on Nervos + Game Suggestions Needed!

Hi Nervos community! :waving_hand:

I’ve been building CKB Arcade - a gaming platform built entirely on Nervos CKB with provably fair randomness. I’d love to share what I’ve built and get your feedback on future games!

:video_game: Current Games

I’ve implemented 4 games so far:

  1. CKB Dino Run - Endless runner with survival rewards

    • Survive 1min = 200 CKB, 5min = 500 CKB, 10min = 1000 CKB

    • Features: Lane switching, coin collection, progressive difficulty

  2. Spin Wheel - Classic wheel of fortune

    • Spinning wheel with different prize segments

    • Full RNG-based outcomes

  3. Dice Roll - Traditional dice betting

    • Roll against the house with fair dice RNG
  4. Coin Flip - Heads or tails game

    • 50/50 chance with instant results

:game_die: RNG Implementation

The biggest challenge was ensuring provable fairness. Here’s my approach:

Key Features:

  • Commit-Reveal: Players commit to choices before random generation

  • On-Chain Verification: All randomness can be verified on-chain

  • Anti-Cheat: Prevents manipulation of game outcomes

  • Transparent: Anyone can audit the fairness

:building_construction: Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React + TypeScript

  • Blockchain: Nervos CKB

  • Wallet Integration: CCC (Crypto.com Chain) library

  • Audio: Web Audio API for immersive sound effects

  • Smart Contracts: Rust-based for game logic

:bullseye: What I Need Help With

I want to expand the game library but need your suggestions! Here are some ideas I’m considering:

Card Games

  • Blackjack, Texas Hold’em, War, Baccarat

Dice Games

  • Craps, Yahtzee, Ship Captain Crew, Liar’s Dice

Number Games

  • Keno, Bingo, Lucky 7, Hi-Lo

Arcade Classics

  • Slot Machine, Plinko, Wheel of Fortune, Scratch Cards

Strategy Games

  • Rock Paper Scissors, Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect Four

Blockchain-Specific Games

  • Block Mining Simulator, Transaction Racing, NFT Mystery Boxes

:thinking: Questions for the Community

  1. Which games would you most like to see on CKB Arcade?

  2. What’s your preferred RNG implementation for blockchain gaming?

  3. Should I focus on simple games or complex multiplayer experiences?

  4. Any specific CKB features I should leverage?

:rocket: Code

  • Tech: Built entirely on Nervos CKB with TypeScript

:crystal_ball: Future Plans

  • Cross-chain gaming

I’m really excited about the potential of gaming on Nervos CKB. The combination of low fees, fast transactions, and robust smart contracts makes it perfect for provably fair gaming.

Cool to see gaming push on Nervos/CKB. My take: consider a dedicated platform token instead of leaning fully on CKB, it could unlock stronger incentives and ecosystem flywheel.
