The Crypto Purge

The Crypto Purge is a browser-based shooter-survival game with single-player and multiplayer modes. Its documented design connects WebGL gameplay over WebSockets to a server-authoritative backend, while smart contracts on BNB Smart Chain handle multiplayer prize-pool distribution. Players can mint NFT skins with traits assigned using Chainlink VRF and oracles.

Practical overview

When it fits

Consider it when looking for a real-time shooter concept that links multiplayer rewards to smart contracts or when reviewing a JavaScript game project combining WebGL, WebSockets, and blockchain components.

Who it is for

  • Players interested in a shooter game whose multiplayer matches use token prize pools.
  • Developers exploring real-time game architecture that combines WebSockets, server-side authority, smart contracts, and NFT cosmetics.

Documented uses

  • Play a zombie-focused single-player mode and compare scores on a leaderboard.
  • Join multiplayer matches where players contribute tokens to a pool distributed among winners.
  • Mint cosmetic NFT skins with distinct appearance traits.
  • Study a documented architecture for server-authoritative gameplay linked to blockchain transactions.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project has a public GitHub repository identified under the MIT License. Its README documents wallet connection through web3.js, including MetaMask, and describes token contributions for multiplayer prize pools.

  • Single-player rewards are described as a leaderboard-based prize pool shared by top scorers; multiplayer rewards involve player token contributions and distribution to match winners.
  • The README assigns gameplay authority to the server while smart contracts manage prize distribution, rather than describing an entirely on-chain game.
  • NFT skins are cosmetic according to the README; they alter appearance, not game mode.
  • The repository provides start commands for frontend, backend, and blockchain directories, but does not give a complete setup recipe in the cited instructions.
  • Inventory, marketplace, weapon minting, and other listed roadmap ideas are not presented as current features.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start the frontend, backend, and smart-contract project components

Run the repository’s documented frontend, backend, and blockchain start commands.

Before you start

  • A local copy of the repository.
  • Yarn installed.

Steps

  1. In the repository, change to app and run yarn start to start the frontend.

  2. Change to server and run yarn start to start the backend.

  3. Change to smartcontracts and run yarn start, then yarn start:portal to start the documented blockchain components.

Expected outcome

The README provides start commands for the frontend, backend, and smart-contract project components.

Guide limitations

  • The README does not specify configuration, environment variables, dependency-install steps, or how to verify that each component started successfully.
  • The README lists these commands but does not document an end-to-end gameplay test.
