PyTeal Smart Contract Tutorials for the Algorand Developer Portal [750 - 1250 ALGO]

[michielmulders]

Overview

• Short Description: Publish code tutorials on the Algorand Developer Portal that educate other developers on using PyTeal.
• Bounty: 750 - 1250 ALGO tokens (US residents will receive USDCa and have to opt-in to receive the asset in their wallet)
• Category: Developer (AlgoDev)

What is this task?

Before starting, please submit an outline to the GitHub thread on the issue for the Algorand team to approve.

Create a Tutorial using Algorand’s technology that will be published on the Algorand Developer Portal. We are looking for intermediate/advanced tutorials on PyTeal related to:

• Displaying complex or advanced use cases with code and explaining them
• Best practices or tips on PyTeal development
• Testing PyTeal contracts (we've some stuff covered)

We don't accept basic tutorials or content that has already been covered extensively.

Tutorials Tutorials outline a specific learning goal, set context for why it is important, and then take the developer step-by-step through the process to accomplish that goal.

Deliverable

• A tutorial on the Algorand Developer Portal.
• Completed GitHub repository that contains code snippets/project linked in your Gitcoin submission.

What are the requirements for the bounty taker?

They must be an experienced programmer who can write clear and informative guides or explanations (depending on the post type) in English or Mandarin Chinese.

Judging Criteria and Metrics

The following criteria will be used:

• Creativity/Ingenuity - How creative is the topic? If a similar tutorial or solution already exists on the Developer Portal, how is this different and important?
• Relevance - Is the topic particularly relevant to the developer community given current market trends and community needs?
• Complexity - How complex was the problem you were trying to solve? Was the solution to the complex problem simple and elegant?
• Community Feedback - Is your topic supported and audited by the community? How many stars did the Github repo receive?
• Utility/Value - How much value will this bring to the Algorand developer community? Does it help solve a problem that many developers have? Does it provide depth to a topic that doesn't yet exist for a certain domain?
• Code Quality - Is the code and repository well-organized and documented? Does it adhere to language-specific style guidelines?
• Writing Quality - Is the writing clear and informative for a developer audience? Is it free from grammar mistakes and typos?
• Scope of Work - How much time and effort did it take to complete this project?
• Extra Media - Does the submission include images, screenshots, and/or videos?

I'll be teaching developers how to write a decentralized lottery contract which uses a linear congruential generator to get winners and the pyteal's byte and bit operators to store user tickets. We'll also touch on features like Inner txns, application to application calls, transaction pooling, and key value state storage.

Goodday @michielmulders. Just finished my tutorial on pyteal. Awaiting approval

Tutorial overview Walkthrough on how to create a lottery contract, that uses byte slices arrays and bit operators to store tickets, and a pseudo random number generator to get the winner, It would contain utilisation of cross contract calls, innertxns and arrays.
