Show HN: Dope Wars – An Onchain Strategy Game

from the show-hn dept.

Dope Wars reimagines the classic TI-83 calculator game Drug Wars, built entirely onchain using Dojo, a decentralized gaming engine. The game features dynamic markets that respond to player actions, with every trade influencing prices in a decentralized economy. Immutable gameplay logic ensures that the game's systems are transparent and player-driven.

Dope wars already exists as a bash Drug Wars remake [0], and a PalmPilot app available in the browser from the Internet Archive[1]

Thanks for pointing that out! Those remakes are great, but this version is fully onchain and immutable, with all game logic and economy stored on the blockchain. Players shape the market in real-time.

Hey! I tried it out blind and guess what, it's pretty good! I might be missing some thing here and there since there is no tutorial for me to understand the resource and stuff but it's pretty easy to understand after a while.

Thanks for giving it a try and for the feedback! We're working on adding an intro tutorial since it's a common request. Dope Wars is fully open-source and immutable, with developers already building mods to extend it. The game will evolve over time, so your experience now might be quite different in the future.
