💻 Install

We are assuming here that you have nodejs and pnpm installed

We also uses docker

And Zellij for easily launching the game locally

For nodejs we use volta for version management, it allow to automatically pick the correct version for each sub package.

docker and docker-compose

docker is used to setup the external services (an ethereum node, an ipfs node and a subgraph node)

If you prefer (or do not have access to docker/docker-compose) you can run them independently.

intall dependencies :

pnpm install

Development

The following command will start everything up. But you need to have Zellij installed

pnpm start

Play locally but connected to Conquest Defcon edition

The following will launch the client on http://localhost:3000

pnpm web <release-name>

where release-name can be

• defcon for the game launched in 2022 that will be running forever
• 2025_1 for the most recent version that start as a 1 month session with extra reward and continue forever.
• sepolia for a testnet version that is used for testing and can be updated at any time. No real money here
