Practical overview
When it fits
Use MonsterEOS for EOS-oriented virtual-pet gameplay or to explore its documented local development setup and TypeScript codebase.
Who it is for
- Players interested in virtual-pet care, monster battles and trading on EOS.
- Developers looking to study or adapt an open-source EOS game codebase.
Documented uses
- Keep virtual monsters alive and happy through feeding, environment care and rest.
- Battle monsters within the game.
- Exchange monsters through the in-game market.
- Study, modify or republish the game code as a basis for an EOS game or decentralized application.
- Initialize the documented local development environment.
Requirements & limits
- The project is identified as beta and experimental; its README says it is not production-ready.
- Local setup requires Node.js 8 or later, Yarn and Docker.
- The README states that MonsterEOS receives 1% of market transfers.
- The game is built for the EOS blockchain; its setup documentation describes a local development chain.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare the local MonsterEOS development environment
Clone the repository and initialize its documented local containers, database, chain and monster data.
Before you start
- Node.js version 8 or later
- Yarn
- Docker
Steps
Clone the MonsterEOS repository and enter its root directory.
Run
./setup.shto start Docker containers and initialize the PostgreSQL database, local chain and monster data.Check container logs with
docker-compose logs -fto see whether the nodes are running.Use
./start.shto start the app after setup.
Expected outcome
A documented local development environment with the app's containers, database, local EOS chain and initial monster data.
Guide limitations
- The README describes an experimental beta and says it is not production-ready.
- This recipe covers the repository's local setup, not deployment to a public EOS network.
