What it does

Loopbomb is a dynamically evolving artwork, an art mixing engine cycling through visual elements pulled from an ever expanding image bank. It's a game of luck, taste & timing where players can freeze & claim a temporal, unique digital collectible.

Images used in Loopbomb are either newly created or sourced & modified. All sourced images adhere to intellectual property & “fair use” legal guidelines relating to Collage art.

How We built it

Loopbomb was built by a small team of dedicated art lovers and technologists to promote the use of bitcoin & blockstack technology. Primarily it's a javascript SPA built using the Vue js. User data is stored in the users gaia storage, it also has a small websocket enabled server side spring boot java 11 micro-service that watches the bitcoin blockchain for payments for the loopbomb service. The service is hosted over https from a Debian VM on a linode cloud server.
