Who's Rugging Who?

A zero-knowledge game based on the game of Mafia and the real life Mafias rugging your crypto

The problem Who's Rugging Who? solves

Mafia (or 'Werewolf') is, IMHO, the best game ever - and now you can play it without being face to face, with the secrets in the game being verifiable by other players without being revealed!
We've changed the gameplay to make it asynchronous, so it's less like a small rural werewolf-plagued village, and more like the cut-and-thrust of 21st century unregulated high capitalism. Whoooo yeeah!!

Challenges we ran into

https://github.com/iden3/snarkjs/issues/252 and https://github.com/iden3/snarkjs/issues/301 due to using mismatched math types without error checking.
Ended up having to hack the library within node_modules :(

Various pain with circom error messaages having nothing to do with the error, but eventually it became clear that 'syntax error in position 1,1' is circom for 'type error', 'wrong size scalar' means 'you need to specify some public inputs and outputs', etc. etc 😂😭

And it would have been nice to deploy on heroku. Are we bad people for prioritising basic features over SSL certs for all the moving parts? 🤔
