Challenges I ran into
Avatar System
Building an avatar system where users can name their own avatars, ensuring unique names within the collection, was a significant challenge. Using the Thirdweb contract kit for custom Solidity contracts, and studying how ENS handles names in their NFTs, we created a unique naming reservation system. This was particularly difficult because we had to override the signature minting extension in the Thirdweb SDK v5 to allow for more parameters. We also had to figure out how to use code generation for the extensions.
Audio-Reactive Gameplay
Ensuring the game is audio-reactive in real-time on mobile web was another major challenge. It was crucial to have users click a button to trigger audio, as browsers discourage auto-play. We succeeded in creating a seamless audio-reactive experience that works well on mobile.
Multi-Chain Avatars and Leaderboards
We aimed to have avatars come from different chains, such as ETH, Polygon, and Base, to support a multi-chain ecosystem. We wanted to create community-based leaderboards where a community could be defined by a set of tokens or contracts across different chains. To achieve this, we developed a system that ingests data into a local database to provide a smooth web2-like experience.
Despite these challenges, MiDiVaderz successfully integrates advanced features to create a unique and engaging experience for our users.
