There really isn't much complexity to the game and the bulk of the code will be UI.
Some of my friends recently golfed a wordle game down to only 214 bytes of html and javascript, not that I would recommend going for that small initially!

For a slightly larger game I'd recommend checking out my open source javascript game engine LittleJS.

Have you never opened a pack of baseball cards? Have you never pre-oredered a videogame?
Can you explain how nfts are scarce when you can download them for free? sure "ownership" of them is scarce but they are free to anyone that wants one. what if i told you that i could sell you the mona lisa for only a thousand dollars but it needs to stay exactly where it is in the museum. this is how nfts are. it's like saying paintings in a museum are scarce because they are too expensive to buy.

Scarcity of art. art we are talking about art here, not anything people need. Are you angry that other types of art have limited editions also? limited run comic books, so evil right? these poor people need their art and cant get it.

Value can change, just like the stock market, scams can happen just like real life. The good thing is you don't need to buy anything to enjoy nfts.

Minting costs pennies on the dollar depending on which currency you use.

No it isn't Tezos for example is orders of magnitude more efficient then bitcoin.

Yes, the rich get richer, this is just how the world works. But also with NFTs the more creative get richer and people who invest in good art get richer.

Everyone that said this I asked "would it matter if the nft held the image?", of course it doesn't matter to anyone. why would we care about that? you. can. download. the. nft. back it up. your ownership of it is stored on the blockchain which will not go down because it is distributed. Do you care that your email is on stored Google's servers?

i think there really is a lot of hate there though. if i titled it like "what is good about nfts?" or even "nfts are not the evil monster you think they are". people will gloss over what i wrote, and insert their own opinions. though the title certainly didn't help but i am generally more interested in why people dislike and i learned a lot from the discussion about common misconceptions. nearly everyone that commented was partially to completely uninformed.
i really though there would be a higher level of discussion on tildes but it quickly devolved into a dumpster fire of nft hate. this is why i gave up talking to republicans about politics. they say one crazy thing then you are like well tezos are not an environmental problem like bitcoin. then suddenly another problem pops up, oh, maybe the image isn't there it just points to it. so i ask, would it matter if the image was there? turns out it doesn't, they are just throwing out random strawman arguments. it is exhausting.

from what i gather, most people in this thread think of nfts as gifs or images that people buy with bitcoin. nfts can be that but they can be many other things too.
when i think of nfts, i am currently thinking of limited edition generative art seeds to a small JavaScript program that creates art that is free to view for anyone but fans/collectors/investors can purchase if they want. also with tezos which is orders of magnitude cleaner then bitcoin, it's not even an issue.
for example (i am not shilling here because it's already sold out and that's not really the point) here's a link to the gallery of 128 of a recent piece i released.
https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/4376/collection
the key distinction that interests me is that of those 128 pieces, no one knew what they would look like before they bought them. i didn't even know. because it is randomly generated. once it has been purchased it becomes a real boy in a sense. anyway, i hope that helps explain where i am coming from.

NFTs are unreasonable
i don't agree. you are starting from an incorrect assumption.
But whatabout fiat money, how unreasonable is that?
your obsession with money has nothing to do with it. i'm taking about art here.

I'll just point out one simple factual non disupatable thing to demonstrate this person actually has no clue what they are taking about.
Artists who get into NFTs with a sincere hope of making money are often hit with a harsh reality that they're losing more money to minting NFTs of their art is making in profit. (Each individual minted art piece costs about $70-$100 USD to mint)
No. I've never paid more then $1, I think it's more like on the order of 15 cents to make a few hundred nfts. Sure it is much more if you use bitcoin, but that's in no way a requirement for nfts.

You can buy art on etsy sure. But what you can't do is sell that art to another person and have the artist get a 10%-25% commission of that sale. Sure it is theoretically possible to do so, but would be an extremely unlikely occurrence pre nft.
You don't seem to understand the difference of having a digital marketplace to buy and sell art.

KilledByAPixel Link ParentBefore NFTs, how was digital art being bought sold and traded? That's really the heart of the matter and the fact is it wasn't. Yes you can get paid for other things, of course, but to get paid...NTFs are the only way that art can be bought, sold, and traded.
I don't think that is true. I mean, it is great that artists are getting paid, but there are other sources of revenue besides NFTs.
Before NFTs, how was digital art being bought sold and traded? That's really the heart of the matter and the fact is it wasn't. Yes you can get paid for other things, of course, but to get paid for selling your art directly to a fan/collector is another thing entirely. I was just thinking about it earlier, in a way buying NFTs are like buying stock in an artist.

Another is from that of someone that appreciates art, is the enjoyment and wonder of looking at the art. Yet another is from someone looking at it purely as an investment. Some believe that art is all around us in the world and in what people do and some of it just happens to be more popular than others.
In my opinion art is all of these things and much more. Certainly the scope is large enough to encompass that of purely digital creations and eventually, art created by artificial intelligence but I have a feeling this thread would explode if I throw that inevitability into the mix.
