Defence Android Game

Yeah I agree I think we need some kind of offline service to deal with the in game currency.
In my head in game purchases would work something like this…
Offline lots of addresses are created with public/private key (lots and lots maybe 100,000 or more who know) these would be in cold storage.
The public keys would be loaded into a database ready for use.
When a user wishes to make a purchase the next unused key is extracted from the DB and a record is produced in the DB with the public key and the amount needed to fulfil the request/purchase.
The service then monitors the address and waits for funds to be received and would update the row to be completed (after a number of confirms I would go with 1 for small values).
once completed the address would not need to be monitored any more and the user would be grated access / given the purchased item.
It may make sense for the DB record containing the public key , the amount of FTC to also include the actual thing the person has paid for.
I think this could be useful as a service which could be run by any business / company wishing to accept FTC.
Its safe as there are no private keys to steal if the server is compromised.
I think I could write the code to set one of these up as we have feathercoinj which will handle the monitoring and confirmation stuff that is needed.
Although this may be a project in its self.
On the In game winnings side…
I was thinking we could do a simple money making game where players buy in each week/month to see who can get this highest score.
the winner takes to pot so a little like gambling but with an element of skill.
to do this the player should be able to specify an FTC address which payouts could be made to and initial buy ins could be made as above.
Edit: Im not sure im ready to tackle this yet though but would be awsome to achieve.

For all those not on android here is the Desktop version
On windows simply double click and it should run with java (which needs to be installed) or right click and run as / open as Java Runtime. Its just java so linux should not be an issue either.

Happy Playing…
EDIT : I think (after some user testing) I am happy to put this on the android market.
Before I do this however I think a “Powered By Feathercoin” Logo would be a good little addition that could be shown between rounds along with the Round Complete Text. Do we have anything like this?
-
Yeah that would be perfect. Thanks for looking into that for me. I’ll see what I would need to do to fire the website up in android. I don’t think it would be too hard.
