1. Introduction
The Magic Number Game is an Ethereum-based blockchain game utilizing smart contracts and Chainlink VRF for provable randomness. It allows players to guess a number, pay an entry fee, and compete for rewards in ETH and MNG tokens. This document explains how the game works and provides an in-depth technical breakdown of its implementation.
What is the Magic Number Game?
Magic Number Game is a decentralized number guessing game where players enter a guess and pay a small entry fee. A Chainlink VRF-generated random number determines the winner, ensuring fairness.
How Does It Work?
1. Players enter the game by submitting a guess and paying 0.025 ETH. 2. When three players have entered, the game requests a random number using Chainlink VRF. 3. The closest guess wins the prize pool, and all players receive MNG tokens as rewards. 4. The game resets, allowing new players to join.
Why is it Fair?
The game is completely fair due to its integration with Chainlink VRF, which provides a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable random number. The smart contract automatically distributes rewards without human intervention.
What is the MNG Token?
MNG is the reward token for the Magic Number Game. Players receive MNG for participating, and winners receive additional rewards. The token has a fixed supply of 21 million, and rewards halve every 3,500 games.
2. Game Mechanics
The game operates on a simple mechanism designed to be engaging and fair.
Step-by-Step Gameplay
1. A player submits a guess between 1 and 10,000. 2. They pay an entry fee of 0.025 ETH. 3. When three players have joined, the contract requests a random number. 4. The winner is the player with the closest guess. 5. The winner receives the ETH prize, and all players receive MNG tokens. 6. The game resets for the next round.
How Winners Are Chosen
The smart contract uses the Chainlink VRF to generate a random number. The player with the closest guess wins the ETH prize. In case of a tie, the prize is split equally among winners.
3. MNG Token Utility
The MNG token serves as the in-game reward currency. Players earn MNG for participating, and winners receive bonus MNG.
Tokenomics
Total Supply: 21,000,000 MNG Player Reward: 50 MNG per game Winner Bonus: 500 MNG per win Halving Cycle: Every 3,500 games, the rewards are halved. 1M MNG is reserved for development and game incentives.
4. Smart Contract Architecture
The smart contract handles game logic, rewards distribution, and random number generation. It is built using Solidity and deployed on the Ethereum blockchain.
Main Components
- **Game Logic**: Handles player entries, winner selection, and prize distribution. - **Chainlink VRF**: Generates provably fair random numbers. - **MNG Token**: ERC-20 token used for player rewards. - **Security**: Includes reentrancy protection and gas efficiency optimizations.
5. Security & Trust
Security is critical in smart contract development. The Magic Number Game is designed with multiple layers of security.
Security Features
- **Chainlink VRF** ensures unbiased randomness. - **ReentrancyGuard** prevents reentrancy attacks. - **Require statements** validate all inputs. - **No manual intervention** – rewards are distributed automatically.
6. Deployment Guide
To deploy the game and MNG token, follow these steps:
Prerequisites
- Install Node.js and Hardhat - Have ETH for gas fees - Deploy on Ethereum or a testnet
Deployment Steps
1. Compile the contract using Hardhat. 2. Deploy the MNG token contract. 3. Deploy the game contract with the correct token address. 4. Verify the contract on Etherscan.
7. API & Smart Contract Interaction
Developers can interact with the smart contract using Web3.js or Ethers.js.
Main Functions
- **enterGuess(uint256 _guess)**: Allows players to submit their guess. - **requestRandomNumber()**: Calls Chainlink VRF to generate a random number. - **distributeRewards()**: Automatically distributes ETH and MNG rewards. - **resetGame()**: Resets the game for the next round.
8. Future Enhancements & Roadmap
The game will continue to evolve with new features and optimizations.
Upcoming Features
- **Leaderboard**: Track top players based on winnings. - **NFT Integration**: Players can earn NFT rewards. - **Governance**: Community voting for game updates. - **Multi-chain Expansion**: Deploy on multiple blockchains.
