[MICROGRANT] Cara-Dune - mutliplayer _-like game with peer-to-peer IPFS networking

[ghost]

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

https://github.com/Sergei-Udris/Karga

• multiplayer game, Heroes III and Conquiztador combined - players will path find but instead of battles question challenges
• IPFS networking - pubsub and circuit relay

i just finished release of his step 40 mins ago - and Karga is a payable game

• https://github.com/Sergei-Udris/Karga/releases/tag/24e48b7
• on needs java installed - i ran him on 16 and 11
• then download the jar - https://github.com/Sergei-Udris/Karga/releases/download/24e48b7/Karga-24e48b7.jar

2. How are you planning to improve this project? (max 200 words)

• i will add IPFS networking - use pubsub and circuit relay
• so players can join the same topic to play multiplayer
• i already did that in js-ipfs as part of previous adventures
• but now Karga will use jvm-libp2p for networking
• it was challenging but i managed to use jvm-libp2p from Clojure, i stopped at pubusub not working
• now with Karga will resolve it and mutliplayer will be there

3. Will the work be Open Source?

• Karga always will be free and open source
• no ads-donations-coins - he is a light in the room, another program to strengthen peer-to-peer future and IPFS
• he a cherry on top, a guest
• he will always be simple - not grow to much
• that is why i need the microgrant and not a macrogrant - to deliver an exquisit fuit to IPFS table, not a fast-food restaraunt unhappy-meal

4. If selected, do you agree to complete weekly updates and a grant report upon conclusion?

• i will continuously release Karga as he grows as whole program
• the report - the only report i seek is users actually playing the game regularly, that's the report
• and that will happen - because games, especially free with networking, let alone peer-to-peer with circuit relay - are scarse
• Karga is correcting that

5. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

• Karga is open source and i'm programming him as peer-to-peer multiplayer game
• so yes
