Realms: Eternum

Eternum has been designed to be a foundational game for Realms World. It will freely evolve and grow as the game and world age. Think of it as a living, breathing digital ecosystem, constantly inviting endless exploration. It’s both a game and an open platform.

Eternum as a Game

A unique, high-stakes game played over seasons. Players can pursue total victory or freely explore their own path, unconstrained by predetermined objectives.

In Eternum, players forge alliances across an infinite hexagonal procedurally generated map during fully onchain, immutable seasons. They build resource stockpiles, train troops, trade, and strategically cooperate or deceive to achieve victory in this world of diplomacy, resource management, and tactical decision-making.

Entry is via a Season ticket minted off the original Loot Realms NFTs. Using $LORDS, players trade in a free market within the world and on Starknet to gain competitive advantages. The open nature of the design allows players to extend the game world and introduce their own features if they choose.

Eternum as a Platform

Eternum lays a robust scaffold on which to build higher-level structures and games. It establishes key functional systems in the Core layer while introducing fungible resources, serving as a foundation for future development and expansion.

Open World Philosophy

Emphasizing the concept of a truly Autonomous World is pivotal. In our vision, it must embody two key characteristics: radical openness and persistence. But what exactly does this entail? Let's delve into both theoretical and mechanical perspectives.

From a theoretical standpoint, radical openness signifies an inclusive world accessible to everyone. This openness transcends traditional barriers - there are no gatekeepers, no singular entities exerting control. Instead, it's a space where anyone can contribute, build, and actively participate without restrictions.

Mechanically, radical openness is reflected in the flexibility and adaptability of the world's underlying structures. The contracts that define this world are not rigid; they are designed to be extended, forked, and maintained by anyone with the willingness and capability to do so.

Envision Eternum as akin to the original cellular structure in a primordial soup. Over time, this basic form dissolves, giving rise to a more complex organism. Eternum is the genesis, the starting point from which an intricate and expansive world emerges, constantly evolving and reshaping itself in response to the contributions and interactions of its inhabitants.

Project Structure

• Client Vite App with threejs interface
• Contracts Cairo Based
• Eternum Docs Documentation around playing and building on Eternum
• Scripts Development
• SDK Npm packages

Development of Eternum

Development of Eternum is open-source. If you would like to contribute comment on an open issue.

Prerequisites

• Dojo onchain game engine
• React

Setup

Install dojo via

curl -L https://install.dojoengine.org | bash

Make sure install the same version within the Scarb.toml file.

Eternum uses a pnpm workspace and bun for scripts to allow easy npm packages to be created. So you will need pnpm installed also.

npm install -g pnpm

Easy Method (3 commands)

We have bundled up three scripts to run in three different CLI terminals. Run the scripts in order and leave the window open.

Terminal 1 - Client setup

This will set the client up, however you must run the other scripts otherwise it will not work

sh scripts/client.sh

Terminal 2 - Build the contracts and run the sequencer

sh scripts/contracts.sh

Terminal 3 - Migrate the contracts and start the indexer

<!-- to set config & deploy test contracts -->
sh scripts/indexer.sh --setConfig --external

<!-- to set config -->
sh scripts/indexer.sh --setConfig

<!-- to just build and index -->
sh scripts/indexer.sh
