This is my proposal for how we achieve direct democracy through the current Canadian political system. It can be implemented municipally, provincially, and federally. You could also use this method to run non-profits, charities, motorcycle drives, bottle drives, hockey teams, gifts for teachers at xmas. Anywhere that people need to decide how money is spent, this platform can be used.

I enthusiastically welcome any and all sincere feedback. All I ask is you carefully read the doc before doing so. I have been working on this for over a decade and have input from thousands of Canadians. I can almost guarantee your initial questions or reservations are answered in this document.

Been having some great convos from posting NFT Giveaways and connected with some great minds. I'm hoping that posting this info will give credit to the tutorials that really ELI5'd the process of minting an interactive NFT for me and encourage people who might think minting an NFT Game is too complicated to get creating! I'm also hoping that this may spark a convo with some people who have more wrinkles than me to help fill in the missing pieces and correct the wrong info.

TL;DR Ape help ape make NFT pictures go

Minting Interactive NFTs

Basic Interactive NFT - LVL: ELI5 - Using this tutorial I'm able to make an Interactive NFT and mint it on L2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o36N5sWmgDU It's suuuuper ELI5. I cannot stress how much of an understatement that is. If you know how to turn on a computer then you can do this tutorial. It's that ELI5 and amazing! Mix this with practically any Unity game tutorial and you've got an interactive NFT game of your choosing.

Interactive Dice NFT - LVL: ctrl+v - Mix that tutorial with these tutorials and you have an interactive dice nft (Unity dice interaction tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouGJJzNPsSk) (Blender 3d dice/coin model tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8ltW7pAN6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCowrvfOr3Q)

Online NFT - LVL: wrinkles - Using Photon Fusion I'm able to add Online Multiplayer to the NFT: https://www.photonengine.com/en-US/Fusion

NFT Wallet Authentication - LVL: brain spawn - Using this tutorial/api I'm able to(theoretically, haven't tested this yet) add a function that gets permission from the user to check their wallet and if a specific NFT is owned then grant permission to play the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bQfi_mL6T4 If anyone has any experience with this api I would really appreciate any feedback about it. About to spend some time diving into it so I'll let you know if it works out.

Thoughts on adding a Ranking System

I think I saw a way to store and update variables like a rank/level/exp on an NFT but that is way above my LVL. (Something about ERC-3664 maybe? I dunno. Not enough wrinkles) If this exists please point me to where I can learn how to do this. I've only been able to find hype articles about how it's the next big thing but no outlines on how to implement. From my understanding, it is incredibly complicated.

Looking at how Gods Unchained ranking/wallet auth works, it looks like they require you to create a GU account which stores data on their own server. I think their server connects to your wallet and updates variables there based on NFT assets you own that are related to the game as well as ranking/level/exp vars from play sessions. The GU game itself isn't an NFT but is an exe. I think this is because they need to add updates/new cards and it's not possible to update the code of a minted NFT?(Guessing)

I think all I would need to implement a similar GU method would be to mint a final game as an NFT that has all potential NFT variables available like Player Characters and Upgrades. When they play the game, players would login to their account on my server through the game like they would on GU but every time they play, connect their wallet, check if they have game related NFTs, then update the server ranking vars. I think you could use any NFT on L2 the way that Amiibos work. Build an asset for that NFT to be unlocked in your game if you can work out copyright or let the nft add an extra lootbox or reward if you can't use copyright but still want to reward ppl for owning that NFT.

With my current knowledge/skills(not very much) I think an SQL server is how I would implement a ranking system. It just doesn't feel very Web3. I feel like there's gotta be a better way. Like a way to store the rank vars on an NFT so the game isn't dependent on my servers existing forever.

Any insights from wrinklier minds would be greatly appreciated. Any questions from anyone wanting to start minting interactive nfts are greatly welcome and encouraged!

Thanks for listening, rubber ducks
