Autonomous Worlds is a new frontier in crypto.
The concept of fully onchain games is still in its infancy, a dream waiting to be realized.
@tarrenceva, a visionary and one of the co-founders of @cartridge_gg, sees the potential in this uncharted territory.
//A Thread//
It all started two years ago when Starknet released its Alpha.
It was the early days, a time when anime was absent from Starknet, and a mysterious programming language called Cairo was released with no documentation.
It was a challenge, a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Pioneers like @eth_worm and @guiltygyoza began to dig into this magical new technology.
Perama, an early contributor, was one of the original authors of the Perama notes, a resource on how to write Cairo programs.
Guilty, on the other hand, was experimenting with physics and neural networks onchain.
The inception of the onchain gaming ecosystem on top of Starknet was born from a proposal to recreate the classic game "Drug Wars."
A grant was funded, and a fully onchain game engine began to take shape.
Teams like @LootRealms, @topology_gg, @influenceth, and @briqNFT started building on top of Starknet, transitioning from Solidity and the limitations of the EVM.
Solidity was not designed for complex applications, and developers were constantly running into issues.
The challenges were many. But the vision of what could be achieved with Starknet was compelling enough to attract these pioneers.
As time went on, the Starknet stack began to take shape.
Cairo 1, a modern, Rust-like language, was introduced, tailored for building complex applications.
The @dojostarknet engine, an abstraction on top of Cairo, was developed, making it easier to build games.
The Cairo VM's performance improved, enabling games to be executed onchain with lower latency.
The platform @MadaraStarknet emerged as a robust sequencing framework, configurable to the specific needs of games.
Integration with Substrate allowed for easy setup of layer 3s, providing flexibility for game developers.
The Dojo ecosystem, a combined effort to build fully onchain games, was born.
Tools like Sozu, Katana, and Torii were developed, each serving a unique purpose in the game development process.
Dojo is focused on building fully unchained games on Starknet, and it starts to make waves.
Advancements in game development are rapid.
The implementation of a fully unchained 2D physics engine, the ability to train neural networks to drive cars, and the experimentation with fully off-chain games that are provable, all point to a future filled with excitement.
The world of onchain gaming has come a long way in a short time, and the future is awesome.
The collaboration, innovation, and vision of pioneers like Tarrence and others have opened a new chapter in the world of gaming and autonomous worlds.
The story of fully onchain games with the Starknet Stack is a testament to human creativity, determination, and the endless possibilities that tech can offer.
It's a story of a community coming together to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating a new frontier in the world of gaming that can lead to completely autonomous worlds.
