 🎮 About

A real-time multiplayer betting game where timing is everything. Watch the multiplier soar as a plane flies across the screen—cash out before it crashes to multiply your bet! 

✨ Features

Gameplay

 - Real-time multiplier system with smooth animations 

- Visual airplane mechanic tied directly to multiplier progression 

- Instant feedback on wins/losses 

- Live game history showing recent crash points

Wallet System

 - Deposit and withdrawal functionality 

- Real-time balance tracking 

- Comprehensive P&L (Profit/Loss) analytics over time

 - Transaction history with timestamps

Fair Play 

- Provably fair RNG using cryptographic hash keys

 - Mathematically balanced 2% house edge 

- Transparent probability system 

Full Game Pages 

- Main gameplay interface 

- Wallet management 

- Transaction history (deposits/withdrawals)

 - Game history (wins/losses with multipliers)

 🛠️ Technical Architecture

Frontend (Unity)

- C# scripting for all game logic 

- Canvas-based UI with panel navigation system 

- Service-oriented architecture:

   - Multiplier History Service 

  - Wallet Service 

  - Sound Manager 

  - Game Mechanics Manager (handles plane animation and multiplier sync) 

Backend (ASP.NET Core)

- RESTful API architecture 

- Polling-based real-time updates (chosen over SignalR/WebSockets for reliability)

 - Hash-based provably fair system

 - Complete transaction processing

 Why Polling Over WebSockets? 

After initial experiments with SignalR and unity, I opted for optimized polling to ensure reliable real-time updates without the complexity of maintaining WebSocket connections. Sometimes simplicity and reliability trump cutting-edge tech!

 📊 Development Process

 This project followed an interesting three-phase approach:

 1. AI-Assisted Prototyping - Used AI to rapidly explore game mechanics and validate the concept before development

 2. Unity Proof of Concept- Built this fully functional version to test architecture and game balance 

3. React Production - Currently translating this proven architecture into a production-ready web application 

The Unity version proved invaluable for:

 - Testing the 2% house edge probability calculations

 - Validating the polling architecture's performance 

- Designing the service layer that would carry over to production

 - Identifying UX patterns that create the right tension and excitement 

🎯 Skills Demonstrated

 - Game Mathematics: Probability theory, house edge calculation, fair RNG

 - Backend Development: ASP.NET Core, RESTful API design, data persistence

 - Frontend Architecture: Service pattern, state management, UI flow design

 - Problem Solving: Pivoting from WebSockets to polling when faced with technical challenges

 - Iterative Development: Prototype-first approach to de-risk production builds 

- Cross-Platform Thinking: Designing architecture that translates from Unity to React

 🔮 What's Next

The React.js production version is currently in development, leveraging all the architectural decisions and game balance tuning proven in this Unity prototype.
