Dracoria is a web-based text adventure game where players can hatch, raise, and interact with a virtual pet dragon. By logging in with their Ethereum account, players embark on a journey in the magical world of Dracoria, where they maintain a garden to feed their dragon, which grows and evolves as they interact with it. The initial version of the game operates on a centralized server, with plans to transition to blockchain technology, turning dragons and other in-game elements into NFTs.
The application is built using Node.js and Express for the backend, with MongoDB as the database for storing game data. User authentication is integrated with Ethereum wallets, offering a secure and innovative way to log in. The game utilizes Socket.IO for real-time interactions, and the frontend is developed with EJS templating for dynamic content rendering. Key features include garden management, dragon interaction via an OpenAI-powered chatbot, and future blockchain integration for NFT functionalities.
- Dragon Interaction: Players can talk to their dragon, which is powered by OpenAI's GPT models, making each interaction unique.
- Garden Management: Users start with a lava tree, which produces fruits to feed the dragon. Future updates will introduce more plants and fruits.
- Blockchain Integration: Version 2 aims to introduce NFTs for dragons and garden elements, allowing players to trade and transfer these assets on the blockchain.
