Instructions​

1. Install WELLDONE Wallet​

Before you begin, you need to install WELLDONE Wallet to access the game. For installation, see the How to Install WELLDONE Wallet.

The loading screen will continue if the WELLDONE Wallet is not installed, and the error Please create SUI account will appear if the WELLDONE Wallet is installed but the Sui account is not created. study_u_and_i_1_1 study_u_and_i_1_2

4. Faucet your account​

You need to get funds to pay for gas. From your wallet, go to the Faucet tab, click the Request Faucet button, and wait for a second.

Our wallet uses cURL to request test tokens, and the testnet rpc is sometimes unstable. In that case, please refer to this page. You can request test tokens through Sui Discord.

6. INVENTORY​

In the INVENTORY, you can view the items you have.

If you followed the previous steps, you may have one Axe and one Scroll. The number in the Axe item box indicates the current level of the item. If you just bought the item, it will probably be 0.

And the number in the Scroll item box is the number of levels an item can be upgraded by spending that scroll.

7. UPGRADE​

You will now spend a Scroll to enchant your Axe. Go to the UPGRADE and select the Axe and Scroll.

After enchanting, the level of the Axe will be 1 higher than its current level plus the level of the Scroll. This is because items are enchanted using the code below:

    item_axe.level = item_axe.level + item_scroll.level + bonus;

The bonus is determined by the output value of the Verifiable Random Function (VRF). Study U&I uses Sui's VRF to enchant items.

Why is the Verifiable Random Function important?
A Verifiable Random Function (VRF) enables the holder of a private key to generate a hashed value for the message, which can be verified by anyone possessing the corresponding public key to ensure the validity of the hash. Therefore, by using VRF users have the ability to verify the random value used in games. Moreover, it also allows users can provide an input seed for the game company to use when generating a random value, and users can always verify that the game company used that seed to generate the random. It is transparent.

However this demo version doesn't have a backend server, so it uses a pre-generated fixed VRF value. Therefore, the value of the bonus is always 1.

For the full Study U&I Smart Contract code, how to deploy it, and more information about VRF, check out the Building a Game on Sui with VRF and Dynamic NFTs.

Click the enchant button. When the wallet pops up, click the Send button to enchant an item.

8. Last Step​

After enchanting, you can check in your inventory or Sui Explorer that the Axe leveled up and the Scroll was burned. The image of the Axe will also change based on the specific item level.

The current version focuses more on how to use VRF in the game, rather than the gameplay. For gameplay, stay tuned for our next series.
