Simple proof-of-concept game launched

Gaming - NEM-Blockchain-enabled, using NEMs specific API feature

Today, the NEM community member “DystopianFuture” released a simple but fun-to-play JavaScript driven browser game. This multi-player game allows users to battle against each other by throwing apples at opponents, and by doing so defeating them and earning points.

[Update re. technical working of the Game <-> Blockchain communication, 08/MAR/2017:]
When the player requests a XEM payout, the game contacts the backend app-server in order to have it sign and committ the transfer transaction to the NEM blockchain. Signing transactions requires the private key to be available. Maintaining that key inside the JavaScript of the client-run browser game would put it at risk.

Players earn points by shooting others and exceeding a certain threshold these points can be withdrawn to their (testnet!) NEM wallets in the form of XEM crypto currency tokens. DystopianFuture had so far set a “conversion rate” of in-game points to XEM of 10,000 : 1.
