Zyft docs

The arena

• Three short skill games that run in your browser: Reflex, Aim and Echo. A round takes between ten seconds and about a minute.
• No download and no account. A wallet is only needed when you want to post a score to a board.
• Every round is built from a seed, so the same seed always produces the same round. That is what makes rooms and score checks possible.
• The arena lives at /arena. On a wide screen the three games sit side by side; on a phone a bar at the bottom switches between them.

Reflex

The pad waits a random time, then flashes. Tap as soon as you see the flash. Standard rules have 5 rounds with a wait between 0.9 and 3 seconds.

• A clean tap scores 1000 minus your reaction time in milliseconds. A 240 ms tap scores 760.
• A tap before the flash, or faster than 100 ms after it, counts as early and scores zero for that round.
• No tap within 2 seconds of the flash is a miss and also scores zero.

Aim

• Targets appear one at a time. Hit the current one to bring up the next. Standard rounds last 25 seconds with targets 112 units wide on a 1000 × 600 field.
• Each hit is worth 100 points; each click that misses costs 25. The score never goes below zero.
• Clicks closer together than 60 ms are ignored, which keeps auto-clickers from flooding the field.

Echo

• Nine tiles. A pattern lights up, then it is your turn to repeat it. Level one is 3 tiles long and each level adds one, up to 12 levels.
• A solved level scores twenty points per tile in its pattern. One wrong tile, or 15 seconds without finishing, ends the round.
• Taps while the pattern is still playing are ignored, so you cannot rush ahead of the display.

Practice and postable rounds

No wallet: practice. Wallet connected before you start: postable, with a ticket that lasts twenty minutes.

• Without a wallet every round is practice: same rules, same scoring, a seed made in your browser, and the result kept only on this device.
• With a wallet connected before you press start, the site issues a ticket for that game, rule set and wallet. The ticket lasts 20 minutes and can be posted once.
• Finishing a postable round shows a Sign and post button. You can also simply ignore it; nothing is sent until you sign.

Challenge rooms

• A room is a game, a rule set (standard, long or hard) and a seed, packed into a code that starts with Z1. The code is the room; nothing is registered to create it.
• Everyone who opens the code plays the identical round, so a room is a fair head-to-head even when people play at different times.
• Each room keeps its own board, separate from the open boards. Long and hard rules are only available in rooms.
• Rooms are public by nature: anyone holding the code can play and post. The title is plain text and limited to forty characters.

Boards

• Each game has one open board for standard rounds. A wallet holds one entry per board: its best checked round. A better score replaces it; a worse one is accepted and ignored.
• Boards keep the top hundred wallets. Entries expire after thirty days without a new post.
• Limits keep the boards readable: 60 posts per wallet per day, a cap per network, and a site-wide daily ceiling. Posting also needs a wallet holding a small amount of SOL, read live; nothing is spent.

Badges

Every badge is a written rule over the facts of one round, shown next to the entry so anyone can see why it was given. They are labels on this site only: not tokens, not NFTs, no value.

Player cards

• A card is an optional public name tag: a short tag, a colour and a motto. It appears next to your entries on every board.
• Tags are lowercase letters, digits and dashes. Mottos are plain words; links, markup and addresses are refused, and so are names that imitate official accounts.
• From the Boards tab you can remove all your entries and your card at any time, again with a signature.

How scores are checked

• The ticket must have been issued by this site, to the wallet that signs, for the same game, rules and room, and not already used.
• The round's own clock must fit inside the time that has passed since the ticket was issued, and must not be shorter than the game allows.
• The server replays the input log with the same code the browser used. If the replay gives a different score, or the log breaks a rule, the post is refused.
• These checks catch edited scores, replayed tickets and impossible timing. They cannot prove that a person rather than a script played, so treat the boards as friendly competition.

What your wallet signs

• A plain text message naming this site, the action in words, your address, a hash of the exact request and a one-time nonce.
• It is a signature, not a transaction: it moves no funds and costs nothing. The site never asks for a transaction and never sees a private key.

What is stored

• In your browser: your round history, best scores and earned badges. Clear them from the Boards tab.
• On the site, only when you post: the entry (address, score, round facts, badges, time) and your card. Network addresses are used for rate limits and not kept with entries.
• If the site is running without its storage configured, boards say so and every game keeps working as practice.

$ZYFT and planned utility

• $ZYFT is the project token on Solana. The games, rooms and boards work without it.
• Ideas being considered: cosmetic items, profile personalisation, access to special events and services for room hosts. None of these is active; they are plans.
• The contract address and its live data are on the token page.
