November 7, 2023

  • Major refactor and code changes for the On-Chain Leaderboard Roadmap Milestone

  • Learn more about the On-Chain Leaderboard feature here

  • Updates to Actions and Entities to support storing game data in a UserNode canister associated with the World canister ID. This canister is referred to as a "WorldNode" canister.

  • Deprecation of the PaymentHub in favor of storing NFTs and Tokens directly in the World canister and doing payments directly in the World canister.

  • Refactor of ActionPlugins to be converted to ActionConstraints instead. NFT/ICRC/ICP transfers are handled using ActionConstraints now. This simplifies the development experience and streamlines the processAction() function in the World canister to only take two parameters.

  • Updates to the BOOM EXT V2 standard to support NFT transaction history so that BOOM DAO game projects can validate NFT transfers in-game.

  • Updates to the ICRC-3 standard to support ICRC transaction history so that BOOM DAO game projects can validate ICRC token transfers in-game.

September 30, 2023

  • Major refactor of the World Protocol to give game developers more flexibility in how they define their data structures in the protocol database.

  • Actions have been renamed to ActionStates.

  • ActionConfigs and EntityConfigs have been renamed to Actions and Configs respectively.

  • Entity now contains a Hashmap of fields and values instead of the static fields previously (eg. quantity, attribute, expiration). This allows for devs to define "fields" in the Hashmap with any name and any value. Entity can hold much more flexible data as a result, and almost anything can be defined as an Entity.

  • EntityConfig is renamed to Config and now contains a Hashmap of fields and values. This enables Configs to be much more flexible to contain data for anything. This is also why they were renamed, because devs can use Configs to define metadata for anything, not just Entities.

  • Developers can opt-in to upgrade their World canisters to the latest BOOM DAO version in the "Upgrade World" tab when managing a World on the Game Launcher website. This is the first ever developer tooling that helps devs upgrade their self-custodial smart contracts.

  • ICP.NET library fixes for the new query signatures that DFINITY introduced. As well as support for composite queries.

  • Fixes and improvements to the Unity Template including making it simpler to use and loading NFTs and ICRC tokens by specifying them in Configs instead of hardcoding them.

  • Upgrades to the custom Candid UI that BOOM DAO has built to enable game developers to edit their World canisters easily. New improvements allow devs to edit their Actions and Configs directly on the Candid UI and push the edits to the World canister immediately.
