Vitalik Buterin Introduces Pre-Crypto Game in Ethereum’s IPFS

Blockchain

Russian computer programmer and founder of the leading blockchain platform Ethereum Vitalik Buterin declared via his official Twitter page the addition of the “real-time strategy game”, Slasha to IPFS. He claimed to have created the game in its pre-crypto days, back in 2011.

On May 23, Buterin shared the tweet citing a “totally random fun thing”:

Buterin gave a brief description of the game, in which the player would fight as a commander. Illustrating with a sample campaign for “Slasha 5.0”, the Ethereum founder wished his 4.8 million followers the best of luck in “beating the tutorial”.

The tweet contained a link leading to the release of Sasha 5.0. The tutorial gave a brief description of the situations in the game that the player faces as a commander. According to the description, the gamer would be placed in the prosperous reign of Queen Madrina, which eventually becomes horrific due to the Sabayon terror movement.

As the brave commander, the player would be introduced to the realm when the situation deteriorates; the commander summoned loyal soldiers and formed a small army against the “evil wizard Xandros and his demonic henchmen”.

The tutorial also describes the mechanics of the game and lists the guidelines:

This campaign will familiarize you with the controls and basic strategy and have you up and running in no time ! To control a unit, right-click (or press shift) next to it and left-click (or enter/return) to tell it to go to a place. Hitting opponents is automated; you don’t have to order your units to attack.

With the game included in IPFS or the Inter-Planatry File System, Ethereum’s decentralized storage and file reference system, Buterin has provided its community with a new platform to play and win. His followers overwhelmingly welcomed the news and expressed their gratitude to him.
