[tolstenko]

Agenda:

Introduction to Solidity and Hardhat (15 minutes)

• Brief overview of what Solidity is and why it's used for smart contract development
• Introduction to Hardhat and its features, such as its built-in testing framework and local blockchain network
• Q&A session to ensure everyone is familiar with the basic concepts

Setting up the development environment with Hardhat (10 minutes)

• Installation and setup instructions for Hardhat
• Creating a new project and initializing it with Hardhat
• Overview of the project's file structure and key configuration files
• Guided setup session to ensure everyone has their environment configured correctly

Overview of the game's smart contract and its features (15 minutes)

• Explanation of the game's rules and how they will be implemented in the contract
• Discussion of important Solidity concepts for the game, such as random number generation and contract interactions
• Q&A session to ensure everyone understands the game's basic functionality

Hands-on coding session to implement the smart contract (25 minutes)

• Guided coding session to write the game's smart contract from scratch
• Discussion of best practices for Solidity development and common pitfalls to avoid
• Breakout rooms for participants to work on the code on their own, with facilitators available for guidance

Testing the smart contract using Hardhat's built-in testing framework (10 minutes)

• Overview of how Hardhat's testing framework works and how to write tests for Solidity contracts
• Hands-on testing session to ensure the game's smart contract works as expected
• Q&A session to troubleshoot any issues

Deploying the smart contract to a local blockchain network (10 minutes)

• Introduction to deploying contracts to a local blockchain network using Hardhat
• Demonstration of how to deploy the game's smart contract to a local network
• Explanation of how to interact with the deployed contract using its address
• Q&A session to ensure everyone understands the deployment process

Interacting with the deployed contract using a simple front-end interface (10 minutes)

• Introduction to typechain and how it can be used to interact with deployed contracts
• Demonstration of a simple front-end interface that allows users to play the game and see their results
• Q&A session to ensure everyone understands how to use the front-end interface

Additional features and improvements to the game (10 minutes)

• Discussion of potential additional features or improvements to the game's smart contract
• Hands-on coding session to add new functionality, such as allowing multiple players or implementing a betting system
• Q&A session to troubleshoot any issues and discuss best practices for adding new features

Wrap-up and discussion of next steps for further learning and exploration (5 minutes)
