Bit Pinch

Our project is a multiplayer real time simulation about trading in a speculative market. We used MongoDB to enable live trading between players and added a leaderboard to allow for player competition.

Inspiration

We were inspired by the fickle nature of speculative assets, and decided to put our skills together to create a web-based game about it.

What it does

Our game simulates a real market by reacting to buy and sell orders placed by players in real time. While players gain a small amount of idle income, the goal of our game is to create a system where making trades is the best way to increase a players in game net worth.

How we built it

Our project is completely written in TypeScript and hosted on a Azure server. We store all user data using Atlas cloud hosted MongoDB, and authenticate user sessions using PropelAuth.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we experienced was two of our members not knowing TypeScript/Svelte, as our entire project is written in it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are happy to have made a complete (enough) submission for the hackathon. This is three of our members first hackathon, so its a new experience to have to spend this much time crunching on a project. All in all everyone on our team is satisfied with the results and enjoyed spending the weekend competing.

What's next for Bit Pinch

Our Azure subscription running out at the end of the month. We would like to announce our projects EOL. Thank you for your support.
