Backend team

By Austin:

  • Started the work on the Heroes feature (Basically the Heroes are special characters that will help leading a villageโ€™s troops to battle, while enhancing their capabilities. You can pick random Hero Cards daily, that will help you build your heroes or get more xp, skills etcโ€ฆ for them). I started by implementing the descriptors for all 160+ Heroes that will be available.

  • Then I added the various base features around hero, like the Hero hall (a building where the Hero Cards will be picked), and the opening of the card itself.

  • Next step will be to use the cards and create the Heroes.

By Floffy:

  • Worked on adapting our first Tesnet implementation. I added internal links directly between the wallet and the village, which will help the users see their recently transferred MKCs directly in their villageโ€™s MKC count. Next step will be to connect it to the Arbitrum testnet that weโ€™ll be using for the production, so it can be plugged into the frontend easily.

  • Started working on a User-centric api written in Golang. This is still in the very early stage of testing but this might be used as our Matchmaking Server later-on, when weโ€™ll start implementing multiple game servers (rooms with its own map and players). Golang is being tested here, as opposed to our Node.js stack , because it has features that will be very useful for the user api, due to its speed and safety attributes. For those interested to know a bit more, Go is a language that has been developed by Google engineers and is still a pretty โ€œrecentโ€ language, but is inspired mainly by C and is open source.

  • Started working on the Clan Castle feature. The Clan Castle will be a new tile on the map, representing the โ€œHQโ€ of a clan. Troops and resources will be available in the castle, and battles can be engaged to and from it !
