The popularity of CryptoKitties has demonstrated that decentralised applications can attract mainstream attention.<\/p>\n
Built on Ethereum, CryptoKitties saw thousands of players using cryptocurrency to purchase, trade, and breed digital cats.<\/p>\n
All of the game’s logic was implemented on the Ethereum blockchain, with the website and its server only providing a user interface for the game.<\/p>\n
The interest and activity this game brought to Ethereum prompted a team of developers at Loom Network<\/strong><\/a> to create a new online learning tool called CryptoZombies.<\/p>\n CryptoZombies<\/strong><\/a> is a free, interactive resource which teaches developers how to create and implement games on the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n Ethereum’s smart contracts are written in Solidity, a programming language designed for the blockchain.<\/p>\n CryptoZombies aims to teach developers the basics of Solidity through a series of interactive lessons.<\/p>\n CryptoZombies walks users through the process of creating a CryptoKitties-like game one lesson at a time, with each lesson focusing on different aspects of Solidity and other skills required for blockchain development.<\/p>\n Users do not require any prior knowledge of Solidity to work through the material, although a basic understanding of programming and blockchain technology is helpful.<\/p>\n Loom Network plans to release new lessons to the CryptoZombies platform every week, and users can earn achievements and collectible stickers by completing lessons.<\/p>\n All lessons and Solidity coding take place in the platform’s browser window, and all lessons on the platform are free.<\/p>\n Loom Network aims to build a platform for running decentralised applications on Ethereum side-chains, including decentralised games on the scale of StarCraft.<\/p>\n “Games are one of the areas where we think blockchain will really revolutionise things,” it said.<\/p>\n “So we built CryptoZombies to help educate and inspire the next generation of blockchain game devs.”<\/p>\n A team of developers has created the new online learning tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341028,"featured_media":242200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44696],"tags":[47950,42124,35,43766],"class_list":["post-242198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency","tag-cryptozombies","tag-ethereum","tag-headline","tag-solidity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242198"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242842,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242198\/revisions\/242842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Interactive lessons<\/h3>\n
