Progress During Hackathon
During the two-week Starknet Hackathon: Re{ignite}, we successfully designed, developed, and deployed Golem Runner ā a fully functional, mobile-first web game (PWA) running on the Starknet Sepolia testnet. Our key accomplishments include: ā Fully playable endless runner experience with tap/swipe controls. ā Multiple unlockable elemental golems with unique designs ā A functional in-game shop where players can spend coins to unlock new golems and maps ā On-chain achievements system integrated with Dojo & Cartridge. ā Real-time blockchain leaderboard with secure ranking. ā Seamless wallet onboarding using Cartridge Controller. ā Polished and responsive UI/UX, optimized for mobile devices. ā AI Agent integration for generating dynamic daily missions. ā PostHog integration for analytics. We also completed the backend logic for: - Daily streak tracking - Custom golem naming per player However, due to time constraints, the frontend integration for daily streak display and name editing on the home screen was not finalized in time for submission. These features are ready on the backend and can be enabled with minor post-hackathon updates.
