This is very very not done, but I just can't not share it.

I know everybody likes a good action game, so started to make one, with a bitcoin hook of course. I wanted it to be on the positive side, so you're a South African motorcycle grocery-delivery driver. Play is free, and you can do well without any bonuses, but bonuses are paid for in lightning. It tries WebLN first, and then defaults to a QR code.

I've totally fixed that element in TURTLE now too and am still offering 1000 sats for any bogus non-English words that people find (payout via zaps here, so minus the sn fees).

Like TURTLE[1], my goal is to make something that people can use as a template to make their own games, so one can appeal to different affinity groups, but with a bitcoin lightning hook built in.

Anyway, it's not very fun yet[2], as their are no other cars and no real goals, but I'm bursting at the seems to share it somewhere. My goal is to make a huge story and lots of characters to interact with and all sorts of side quests and easter eggs.

Here's a link to the prototype: https://checkmate-zeta.vercel.app/

  1. These are also the first games that I've made by vibe coding, which is definitely significantly easier than regular coding for someone like me, who is still only learning basic regular programming.

  2. #sorrynotsorry

Update: on some mobile devices, the motorcycle wasn’t visible. Oops! This should be fixed now.

Thanks! There’s no way to collect sats, just use them to pay for things. I do have a 1000 sat bounty out for incorrect non English words in https://turtlewordgame.xyz/ but the game itself costs 100 sats after the first daily game. Here’s the directory with the words though, if you want to give it a look: https://github.com/ttooccooll/TURTLE/tree/main/words

Super cool! Are you guys on https://geyser.fund/? 👀 Lot's of other Bitcoin games like Hero of Bitcoin launched on Geyser selling rewards/perks to help fund and expand their game. Feel free to reach out to the team on TG or X for a chat.

I’ve thought about it for my goals with home solar mining, but the idea of crowdfunding seems elusive to me. I love what you guys do though and so many of the projects you’ve made happen. Maybe I’ll give it a try at some point.
