AlienRumbleX

Unofficial Thunderdome-like game based on Alien Worlds NFTs

A blockchain based game where players can use their Alien Worlds NFTs to participate in battles.

You can play the game here: play.alienrumblex.com

Motivation

On 22 January 2021, Alien Worlds announced they'll be releasing Thunderdome battles, a game mode where:

explorers get to put their Minions into fights against other Minions

quote from Medium

One year later, The Thunderdome is still yet to be released, so I decided to make AlienRumbleX, an unofficial open-source Thunderdome-like game running on WAX blockchain that gives players the ability to use their Alien Worlds NFTs in battles.

Getting started

Requirements

To start playing, you need will need the following:

  • 1 minion NFT
  • 1 weapon NFT
  • some amount of TLM

Gameplay

In order to play, you must first deposit some TLM to your in-game wallet.

Then choose an arena, select a minion and a weapon and send them to battle.

Once the arena join queue has 8 players, the battle begins automatically.

Once the battle finishes, the winner is declared and the prize is added to their balance.

Battle Mechanics

Once a players enters an arena, the entry fee is deducted from their in-game balance.

The game then calculates a score based on the attributes of the NFTs (attack, defense, element/class) according to the following formula:

score = multiplier * (minion_attack + minion_defense + weapon_attack + weapon_defense)

where multiplier is either one of 1 or 0.5:

1 (if minion_element = weapon_class)
0.5 (if minion_element != weapon_class)

A winner is then chosen randomly among the top 3 players (by score)

The formula used is very simple and basic, it might be updated in the future

Note

AlienRumbleX is not officially part of Alien Worlds, it is a community driven game based on some of Alien Worlds' NFTs and TLM token
