Backend:

• Since the Alephium explorer is lacking the ability to check for the owner of a specific NFT address, I've initially implemented a snpashot approach which crawls through Pyreplays database and checks the NFTs of every registered user. This works totally fine, but is a bit computational expensive. With the development of https://alph.pro/ by 0xreed they keep track of all NFT transfers and offer an API for receiving exactly that data. I'm looking forward to using that API instead of the databse crawler from now on.

• Additional tests were implemented.

Game Development:

• The core gameplay is working within a local environment in Unity:

Upcoming:

• Moving the gameplay logic to the server side: This is a crucial part, since Client sided applications can always be hacked and cheated on. Moving the logic to the server side is the only possible way to prevent this. This means the Frontend Client is "dumb" so to say, and every player action is validated on the server.

• UX enhancements and sounds for Battleship.

• Frontend User Profile + Customization options
