Alvarius

Have you ever wanted to build a game that runs fully onchain, but didn’t know where to start?

In this lightning talk, Alvarius will walk you through the basics of MUD, an application framework designed for games and autonomous worlds, and build a minimal onchain game from scratch.

Learn the basics, learn the tooling, and learn where to go to keep learning and building after this session.

Classroom A

Build your first onchain game with MUD in 5 minutes

We wanted to accomplish one simple task: put a game—with all its data and logic—on a blockchain. What followed were countless technical challenges, years of efforts, and learnings that are applicable to anyone building complex onchain apps.

How should data be structured? How can complex world state stay up-to-date on the client? How do we allow multiple teams to build on one single world, without it all breaking apart? Join us as we share the pitfalls and learnings.

Stage 5

MUD - How we built an EVM application framework from the ground up

MUD--an open-source engine for autonomous worlds--was released two years ago in DEVCON Bogotá. Since then, it has gone through many iterations and helped many developers build their onchain games and worlds. Two years later, MUD core developer Alvarius will take stock of where we are and what the future holds for MUD.
