SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict

Internal Conflict is a unique hybrid of a trading card game and board game. Players play cards from their hands onto the battlefield and move them to accomplish their objective(s).

Inspiration

The concept behind SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict arose from a combination of two popular phenomena: blockchain technology and trading card games. As avid players of Magic: The Gathering, my partners and I were struck by the intricate mechanics and strategy of the game. However, we also faced the challenge of how to store and manage our growing collection of physical cards.

The emergence of digital versions of trading card games provided some relief, but with one major drawback: players were prohibited from selling or trading their digital cards. This limitation sparked the idea of creating a platform that would allow players to digitize their physical cards and also have the option to sell them online.

Thus, SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict was born. Our platform harnesses the power of blockchain technology to provide a secure and efficient way for players to store and manage their card collections online. In addition, our platform enables players to sell their cards to other users within the community, creating a vibrant marketplace for card trading.

By combining the timeless appeal of trading card games with the innovative capabilities of blockchain technology, SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict offers a unique and exciting gaming experience that sets it apart from other card games.

The Gameplay

SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict is a 2D NFT based play-to-earn card game. The game takes place within a metaverse where humans are infected by a new strain of virus. The game features the battle between two sides; the virus and SUPACells within a petri dish.

Both sides are controlled by different players.

The objective of the virus player is to eliminate the SUPACell player before they run out of health. The health of the virus player is tied to a timer. This timer only runs when it is the virus player’s turn and it is cumulative. Every 3 minutes, the virus player will lose 25 health. This is a cumulative timer. The virus player begins the game with 120 health.

The objective of the SUPACell player is to defend against the virus player until the virus player’s health runs out. The SUPACell player begins the game with 120 health.

To start a game, both players will need a deck of 40 cards and a SUPA Organism(Virus or SUPACell).

Each turn, players will draw cards from their decks and play them onto a gridded battlefield (8 X 4). Cards played onto the battlefield will materialise as a board piece which can be moved around. As a Virus player, your units will be able to move across the board to deal damage to the SUPACell player. The SUPACell player on the other hand will need to strategically place their units on the board as they can not be moved.

The game ends when either player runs out of health or when either player overruns the other with 12 units on the board at the beginning of their turn.

How we built it

We built SUPA Foundation’s GameFi from scratch with the aid of several libraries. We used Cocos Creator: [https://www.cocos.com/en/creator] Assets and game mechanics were produced in-house and by numerous artists. To support numerous EVM compatible wallets, we implemented WalletConnect v1.0 and V2.0 using the official WalletConnect library from:

  1. [https://github.com/WalletConnect/walletconnect-monorepo]

For the game backend, we used:

  1. [https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus]
  2. [https://github.com/firebase/firebase-admin-node]
  3. [https://github.com/nodejs/node]

We also built a separate companion app for the game to enable account registration and verification that in future will be populated with other features for the game including news and education. We used::

We built 17 different smart contracts to support mechanics such as cards, card packs, hero NFTs and SUPA’s marketplace.

These contracts will be deployed on mainnet after our testing period.

We also built our own SUPA’s marketplace https://portal-beta.supa.foundation using to enable trading of our game NFT assets using several libraries:

  1. [https://github.com/vuejs/core]
  2. [https://github.com/vitejs/vite]
  3. [https://github.com/web3/web3.js]
  4. [https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/]
  5. [https://github.com/WalletConnect/web3modal]

Challenges we ran into

As this was a card game that requires many interactions, the number one challenge was the integration of the blockchain aspect of trading cards and giving those cards ability in the game. Each card in the game has different interactions with each other and because they are unique, the smart contracts would have many .

The next challenge was to optimize the gameplay so that it is balanced for both players that there won't be a side that is too overpowered and will discourage players from only playing a single side making the gameplay experience not enjoyable.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our achievement in creating a unique and comprehensive web3 game that caters to a broad audience, from casual to professional gamers. Our game offers the opportunity to play and earn rewards, making it an attractive option for those interested in pursuing gaming as a full-time career.

What we learned

While building this game we learned that with the amount of micro-interactions our game requires a good blockchain with low gas fees are needed and that is also one of the reasons why we decided to build on Fantom.

What's next for SUPA Foundation - Internal Conflict

We have high hopes that our game will be great and will appeal to most TCG players out there. By then, we will be releasing newer expansions of the game with different cards and NFTs that will change the users playstyle.
