I've just launched a new game that I think this community might find interesting. It's a decentralized take on the classic Rock Paper Scissors game, but with a twist – it uses cryptocurrency to place real stakes on the outcomes. No signup necessary, but you will need a browser with native support for Web3 like Opera or Brave, or a crypto wallet with an integrated browser like MetaMask. You may have to wait for a moment to be matched with an opponent due to a small, but growing player base, though refreshing the browser could get you a match more quickly.
Features: - *Smart Contracts*: Each game is governed by a transparent smart contract, ensuring fairness and non-repudiation. - *Crypto Integration*: Currently supporting only ETH, but support for custom tokens coming soon. - *Decentralized Verification*: Game outcomes are verified through a decentralized network to prevent tampering. - *WebSockets*: Real-time data exchange notifies you immediately of the outcome of any game: win, lose, draw, or refund.
I built this as an experiment to explore game theory and smart contract interactions in a simple, yet familiar setting. I'm curious to see how introducing real stakes with cryptocurrency might change the way people play Rock Paper Scissors.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the game mechanics, smart contract security, UI/UX, and any other aspect of the game. If you're into crypto, gaming, or both, I'd especially appreciate your take on how it could be improved or what features you'd like to see next.
Thanks for checking it out!
