Initial idea

RockPaperScissors.md

Tried to think of an easy to implement game idea after today's lunch discussion with @palango . So, this is what I got:

Team-based RockPaperScissors Idea:

• 2 teams with unlimited number of participants
• each game finalizes after 1 round
• each team can pick one of rock, paper, scissors
• each team picks the move based on a majority of votes of the team members
• each team member sends the move & an off-chain payment

We need:

• GameClient, which enables the user to choose a team_id and a move
• GameGuardian Raiden node, which receives the move payments

Round:

• team member proposes a move & sends a payment to the GameGuardian: hash(move || team_id || move_secret) - this will be the additional_hash of the Raiden balance proof; GameClient will validate the move, team_id, paid amount
• the round has a known time limit for receiving & finalizing the off-chain transfers; no payments will be accepted after this.
• after round finishes, each person sends the move, team_id & move_secret to the GameGuardian
• GameGuardian calculates the winning team -> keeps a % of the funds for himself and then distributes the rest of the money to the winning team members.

We can have a constant paid amount for each move or, people can send whatever amount and then if their team wins, they can get a profit proportional to what they staked.

With this, we can test both many-to-one and one-to-many payments with some load on the network. Members don't need to have an open channel with the GameGuardian, they can send the payments through the network.
