wtf is tankmud-tutorial?

This repository is the companion code for a tutorial that teaches you how to build a simple, multiplayer tank game where the vehicles drive around directly on a blockchain. It pairs Unity, one of the most popular game engines for making 2D and 3D games, with MUD, a framework designed for building decentralized applications. The core idea is to show you how game mechanics like movement can happen "onchain," meaning the game state is verified and recorded on a blockchain rather than just on a private company server. At a high level, the project bridges a traditional gaming interface with a decentralized backend. You use Unity to handle everything the player sees, the tank models, the ground, the controls, and the visuals. When a player moves their tank, that input is sent to the MUD framework, which updates the game's shared state on the blockchain. The other players in the game then receive those updates so everyone sees the tanks moving in real-time, backed by a shared, transparent ledger. This tutorial is designed for game developers, hobbyists, or curious builders who want to understand how blockchain technology can be applied to actual games. If you have ever wondered what it actually means to put a game "onchain" and want a hands-on, relatively simple starting point, this project walks you through the process using a familiar format: making tanks drive around a map. It is very much a learning resource rather than a finished, production-ready game. Notably, the repository itself contains only the finished code meant to accompany the written tutorial. The actual step-by-step instructions live on a separate Notion page linked in the project. The README does not go into detail about the specific technical setup, prerequisites, or what tradeoffs are involved, it simply serves as the code you need to follow along with the external guide.
