Practical overview
When it fits
Use Gamba when developing a Solana betting game or its React-based program interaction and user interface.
Who it is for
- Developers building betting games on Solana.
- React developers creating interfaces that interact with the Gamba program.
- Teams building reusable interfaces for Gamba-based games or gaming platforms.
Documented uses
- Use a provider and utilities for the Anchor program.
- Connect a React application to the Gamba program with hooks and context providers.
- Build a game or platform interface using the UI framework.
Requirements & limits
The code is available in a public GitHub repository, which welcomes contributions through pull requests.
- The repository separates program utilities, React interaction tools, and UI-building support into three named packages.
- The project is developer tooling, not a finished game for players.
- The repository recommends a platform template for starting a project and links to documentation described as a work in progress.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Choose Gamba packages for a Solana betting-game project
Identify the documented Gamba packages for core program utilities, React integration, and game or platform UI development.
Before you start
- A project intended to build a betting game or platform on Solana.
Steps
Review the Gamba monorepo’s package descriptions.
Use gamba-core-v2 for its Anchor program provider and utilities.
For a React app interacting with the Gamba program, consider gamba-react-v2 hooks and context providers.
For platform or game UI development, consider gamba-react-ui-v2; the repository also recommends its platform template for building a project.
Expected outcome
A package and starting-point selection aligned with the project’s core, React, or UI needs.
Guide limitations
- The repository README does not provide installation, configuration, or implementation steps.
- The linked documentation is labeled work in progress.
