Liar's Poker is a bluffing game traditionally played with U.S. currency, particularly dollar bills. The game combines elements of poker, probability, and deception, making it both strategic and psychologically challenging.
One of the significant challenges we faced while building this project was integrating multiplayer functionality in a decentralized environment. Creating a seamless and responsive experience where multiple users could interact in real-time while maintaining the principles of decentralization was complex. Here's how we tackled it:
Challenges and Solutions
Multiplayer Functionality
Challenge: Implementing real-time communication and synchronization among users required efficient handling of peer-to-peer connections and ensuring minimal latency.
Solution: We utilized WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication and combined it with decentralized signaling servers. This approach ensured real-time updates and reduced server dependency.
Smart Contract Design
Challenge: Designing a robust smart contract to handle user identities, interaction logic, and on-chain data storage without making the system prohibitively expensive.
Solution: We optimized the contract using modular architecture and implemented EVM-compatible logic for cross-platform scalability. Techniques like state channels and lazy minting were used to minimize gas fees and improve performance.
Cross-Chain Interoperability
Since we started the project specifically for this hackathon, we focused on building the core features and functionality during the event. However, we did manage to incorporate a few new features and enhancements that significantly improved the project as we progressed:
