What Is Fracture Labs? Fracture Labs was founded back in 2018 and is an independent studio of games industry veterans with previous experience working on a number of successful AAA videogames for PC, console, and mobile. Fracture Labs’ studio is the official developer and publisher of its first videogame, . Decimated Meet Fracture Labs Team Fracture Labs’ team is made up of over fifty individuals including Unreal Engine developers who have worked on some of the most successful games and franchises in recent memory for PC, console, and mobile. The team also works with production partners in the videogame industry with AAA game development experience, ensuring the highest possible quality visuals and gameplay. We have developers in Ukraine, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Germany, Argentina, and Brazil, as well as a network of freelancers from across the globe collaborating on the project. We also work with some of the best production partners in the industry for art, animation, and co-development. Decimated Game Overview Decimated is a role-playing game set in the hostile environment of a grim cyberpunk world. Players are tasked with ensuring the survival of their character, with the title offering them the option to play as either a human or a cyborg. In order to survive, they must acquire resources and technology. With these, they can then repair vehicles, build bases, fortify their shelters, hunt, raid, loot, and trade. The 256 km² online world, which can be explored by land, sea, and air, offers players a wealth of possibilities. In the beginning, they will have to explore them mainly on foot. But there is also the option of so-called fast travel, which is offered by NPCs for a fee. In the wilderness, there is then the possibility of finding vehicle pieces, spare parts, and building materials. All the necessary items can be found on the map or purchased on the marketplace. To survive, players must also search for food, water, and in some cases, oxygen. If a player is injured, they must treat the injury, otherwise, they risk bleeding to death. Drugs and medications are addictive and addiction can be formed, which affects their effectiveness, among other things. If you die in the game, you will respawn with only a few items. Later in the game, there are vaults and safes where you can store items to avoid losing them. There is also the option to choose your own respawn location, such as where a guild has a base or one of the green zones. In order to survive in Decimated, players must use their skills and wits, either by cooperating with others, or conversely, while competing against them. Online environments will include crumbling cities, deserts, abandoned areas, caves, and safe zones protected by police cyborgs. Players will be able to freely explore and loot this vast area, trade, construct buildings, or complete missions that appear randomly on the map. Players are rewarded for missions, and the missions themselves can be completed either solo or as part of a team. If the missions are completed as a team, the player will get a share of the loot if they survive to the end and are not betrayed by other players. Players and NPCs in the game can have friendly or hostile relationships with each other. Everything will depend on the player’s reputation. Not only do NPCs react to reputation, but also other players. The title will be free to play. However, players will start the game with nothing at the beginning. They will have to secure all items mainly through paid missions, or they can purchase items such as vehicles or weapons with the in-game token DIO. If players want to progress, they will have to earn or purchase everything with the DIO token. The game is built in Unreal Engine 5 and is currently in the alpha stage. Everything that has been presented so far is only provisional and will be improved as the game develops. When creating the game, the team was inspired by ARMA, DayZ, and Escape from Tarkov. In the future, players will be able to buy and sell a number of virtual assets (NFTs) in our integrated trading platform. While many common items like ammo and consumables will not be tokenized and will never leave the game, certain items like vehicles, weapons, character customizations, and legendary items will be and can be sold on external marketplaces like and opensea.io solsea.io We will create and sell high-quality, digitally scarce items during development and for several years after launch on a regular basis. Gamers will be able to purchase these items, customize their own vehicles, weapons, apartments, and characters, and a unique token address will be assigned to them when they leave the Decimated world. When we run auctions on certain items, such as rare ships, we will set a deadline for players to bid on each item, and the highest bidder will win the item at the end of the auction, ownership will be assigned, and he/she will be able to use it in-game, customize it, or trade it with other collectors. We are aiming for the Alpha of the game to be ready in 2023 and the Beta in 2024, at which point it'll begin to be ported to Playstation and Xbox, and then mobile. Decimated Tokenomics There will only be one type of token in the game, called DIO, and represented by the symbol Ð. The token is currently based on the Solana blockchain, which will be integrated into the game. Our currency is to act as the main means of exchange inside the Decimated videogame, and it will give value to all other items in the game. The total supply of the token is 1,000,000,000. The maximum supply of DIO Tokens has been minted in a single genesis block. Unlike other online games which generate virtual money or loot every time an NPC or monster is killed, in Decimated, the DIO token is recirculated into the economy when it is spent, and there is a finite amount. Players will be rewarded DIO tokens in the following circumstances: Performing “legal” or “illegal” missions with different risk/reward ratios Stealing shipments or raiding convoys Escorting shipments and protecting them Collecting bounties for imprisoning/killing players and specified NPCs Freeing prisoners Trading items with other players or on the marketplace Players will be debited DIO in the following circumstances: Repairing weapons, vehicles, or bases Being killed by other players and NPCs Paying for fast travel to other locations Transactions fees with vendors and other players Fines from in-game authorities Fracture Lab’s Funding Round and Investors Fracture Labs launched a private token sale that received more than $34 million in offers in November 2021 and raised $4.1 million in the latest funding round – the independent game development studio received this funding for Decimated, their debut multiplayer third-person survival game. Before the release, the studio will use this funding to support development efforts and the launch of the NFT marketplace. In the funding round, there were over thirty Venture Capital firms that participated and made it a reality. The firms include: Spartan Group Cryptology AG Forward Analytic Alameda Research Mechanism Capital Israel Blockchain Association Gravity Finance Metaverse Capital Cointelligence Fund VLaunch Master Ventures Gains Associates Interstellar Ventures Spark Digital Capital Metavest Capital Polygon Hype Partners Israeli Blockchain Association Latitude Blockchain Services Three M Capital Bixin Ventures FireStarter Blockpact Capital GemCapital Cryptology Asset Group Gravity Finance Simplex Dutch Crypto Investors Titans Ventures Good Games Guild Forward Analytics Cointelligence PlutoDigital Fracture Lab’s Community At Fracture Labs we encourage community feedback, organize Q&A sessions, and share progress through live broadcasts on our Twitch channel and posts through the official social media channels.

Decimated, the Next-Gen Gaming Metaverse to Look Out For

I wanted speed. I speed. needed All this clicking around, all this searching, all the repetitive thinking and mental overhead was cutting into actually getting the job done. I needed the robots to do the work for me. I’d recently moved over to macOS after many years on Windows where I’d tinkered around with AutoHotkey. As a relative Mac noob I started hacking around with , and quickly found solace in the form of Hammerspoon. Alfred Karabiner Ah, . Yes, I had consumed the code and modules — “Spoons” — from the super-smart people coding and extending Hammerspoon and that gained me some great mileage, yet I needed . Hammerspoon more Then, there was Lua. I wanted to upskill in Lua. The best way to do so? Code something. Enter a collection of 3 mini-apps built on top of so you can automate tasks, boost productivity and eliminate time-suck by programming shortcuts into your daily workflows. , Hellfred Hammerspoon It’s a way to map repetitive, time-consuming tasks to key sequences, commands or searchable texts. TL;DR and the branch. So you want quick-fire? Skip to the installation and tutorial section below or download the repo checkout basics git checkout basics The Apps Hellfire A quick-fire, mode-based, hotkey-to-action mapping utility. Supports single key triggers as well as key chord sequences as triggers. Exposes virtually every key on the keyboard including modifier keys to use as triggers. Modes allow the same trigger to have different behaviours under different contexts. English, please? When I type a character or a sequence of characters, then execute a specific function, but only if I am in a particular mode. Ok. An example maybe? When I type then run function (but only if I am in Default Mode) c launchGoogleChromeApp When I type followed by then run function (again, whilst in Default Mode) w m changeToWindowManagerMode When I type then run function (whilst in WindowManager mode) c centerWindowOnScreen Hellfuzz A fuzzy-search chooser utility with choice-to-action mapping. Supports multi-level (nested) choice sets. English, please? When I search through a list of choices and select one, then execute a specific function. If my choice has subchoices (think: ), then show me those so I can search through them. parent => children Ok. An example maybe? Suppose you have this structure: When I type ‘ ’, then highlight the choice ‘ ’. Selecting this option will execute the function . goog Open Google openGoogleInBrowser Alternatively, if I type ‘ ’, then highlight the choice ‘ ’. Selecting this option will replace the current choices with , , and (the subset of choices for ) app Launch Apps Terminal Notes Calendar Launch Apps When I fuzzy search through and select one, Hellfuzz will execute with the selected app. those launchOrOpenApp Hellprompt A commandline-like utility with basic string matching support.

NFT Platform Raises Funding to Expand Operations in Asia , a celebrity NFT platform that offers various additional services and experiences, has acquired over $5 million in funding, allowing the team to construct the infrastructure needed to push the NFT world into the mainstream. A customized virtual museum, numerous play-to-earn games, virtual competitions, and the metaverse are available via the authorized celebrity NFT platform. Colexion The global NFT market generated over $23 billion in trading volume in 2021, according to crypto-data analysis platform DappRadar. NFTs quickly bridge the gap between our physical reality and the widely anticipated metaverse. With NFTs becoming more mainstream worldwide, several brands have forayed into the space. Adidas, Nike, Taco Bell, Coca-Cola, and Campbell are some international brands that have entered the industry. Colexion has  become Asia’s biggest NFT platform, drawing the interest of a number of private investors and supporters. The seed round brought in $1.8 million, while a private round brought in $3.2 million. Polygon, Jump Trading Investments, Alan Howard of Brevan Howard, HyperEdge Capital, C2 Ventures, GSR, Oracles Investment Group (OIG), Gains Associate, and a number of other notable names such as ZBS Capital, ICO Pantera, Titan Ventures, Good Games Lab, Maven Capital, and others contributed to both rounds. Several launchpads, including Redkite, Prostarter, Scaleswap, Firestarter, and others, will support the native $CLXN utility coin. The token will be traded on a number of major exchanges. The token and NFTs will also be traded on the built-in marketplace as well as other Tier A exchanges. The platform’s major goal is to license famous NFTs while keeping them accessible to the general public. Major Indian movie stars, international cricket players, and other worldwide sports and movie stars are among the celebrities, with each NFT being unique. The platform has also secured exclusive rights to a number of international cricket teams, Bollywood and Tollywood stars, TV personalities, different global and Indian sports leagues, and other great athletes. The Future of Digital Art and NFTs NFTs have gained widespread awareness due to large art transactions, which now account for about a quarter of all NFT sales. For example, an American artist known as Beeple sold his digital artwork for $69.3 million at Christie’s earlier this month, putting him among the “top three most valuable living painters.” Every time the owner of the NFT changes, he will earn a ten percent royalty. Winkelmann’s success in the digital world is undoubtedly not unique. CryptoPunk #7804, one of the 24x24 pixel art pieces, sold for $7.5 million in March, while TrevorJones” Bitcoin Angel sold for $3.2 million. In 2022, the NFT market is expected to grow even further. Like any other sector, it has its own set of hazards that purchasers should be aware of before investing. However, when it comes to art, it’s necessary to look at the item first – and then at its properties – because possessing something you don’t like has little value. Catch all the breaking news, and Don’t forget to like the story!

We created a , wrote a , made a made an , set up a connection with firebase , , and accessed s on firebase projects. splash screen theme custom app bar, authentication screen cloud and emulators authenticated users users’ location We'll pick right where we left off and toggle the favorite icon for temples. We'll use Firestore to store all the favorites list for each user's document in the " " collection. The Firebase Function will help us fetch the immediate list and update it. While Stream will provide the changes in real-time for users to see. You can find the source code so far . last time users here Firebase Cloud Functions To Update  Firestore In RealTime Now, we'll create a cloud function in our file. This function will take an "id" as input. This id is provided by Google Maps Places API. index.js place_id It'll search and fetch the current user's document. We've already created an array while registering with the onCreate trigger. favTempleList The function then will look through the list and toggle the value. // Add temple to my fav list:
exports.addToFavList = functions.runWith({
    timeoutSeconds: 120,
    memory: "128MB"
}).https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
    const templeId = data.templeId;
    try {
        // Get user doc
        let userDocRef = await db.collection('users').doc(context.auth.uid).get();

        // extract favTempleLis from the doc
       // #1
        let favTempleList = userDocRef._fieldsProto.favTempleList;

        // if fav list is empty 
        // #2
     //============================//
        if (favTempleList.arrayValue.values.length === 0) {
            // Put the id in the list 
            const templeList = [templeId];
            functions.logger.log("Fav list is empty");
            
            // Update the favTemple list
            await db.collection('users').doc(context.auth.uid).set({ favTempleList: templeList }, { merge: true });
//============#2 ends here=====================//
        } else {
            functions.logger.log("Fav Temple List is not empty");
   
            // Make list of available ids
            // firebase providers arrays values as such fileName.arrayValue.values array 
            // consisting dictionary with stringValue as key and its value is the item stored
            // #3
            functions.logger.log(favTempleList.arrayValue.values[0]);
            let tempArrayValList = favTempleList.arrayValue.values.map(item => item.stringValue);

            // if not empty Check if the temple id already exists
           // #4
            let hasId = tempArrayValList.includes(templeId);

            // if so remove the id if no just add the list 
           // #5
//============================//
            if (hasId === true) {

                // Usr filter to remove value if exists
                let newTemplesList = tempArrayValList.filter(id => id !== templeId);

                await db.collection('users').doc(context.auth.uid).set({ favTempleList: newTemplesList }, { merge: true });
//==============#5 ends here===========//
            }
            // If the id doesnot already exists
           // #6
//============================//

            else {
                // first create a fresh copy
                let idList = [...tempArrayValList];

                // add the new id to the fresh list
                idList.push(templeId);

                // update the fresh list to the firesotre
                await db.collection('users').doc(context.auth.uid).set({ favTempleList: idList }, { merge: true });
//==============#6 ends here===========//

            }

        }

    } catch (e) { functions.logger.log(e); }

    // Return the Strig done. 
    //#7
    return "Done";
}); A couple of lines of code here are on other functions and triggers we've already done. So, let's only go over a few important ones: We are extracting the firebase field named "favTempleList" from the user documentation. That field is an array. We're checking if that array is empty. If so, we can just add the new place_id we got from the function call to the array and then update the doc. One thing to notice here is that I am using the merge option for an empty array. That's because this set() method doesn't just set/update a field in a doc, it sets/updates the whole document itself. So, if the **{merge: true} **option is not provided it'll overwrite every field there, in our case username, email, location, and so on. Now, we enter the section where the temple list is not empty. Then first we need to extract the list of values(id's) that are already present there. Check if the new ID, we got from the method call, is already present in the list we got from Firestore. If the id is already there then we need to remove it. We'll combine and methods. After filtering the current place_id, we'll update the Firestore user doc with the fresh list of ids. filter() includes() If the place_id is not there then we need to add it. We'll push the current place_id into the list. And then update the doc like before. Remember we should permanently terminate Firebase functions in the end. We don't need any data from this so we'll just terminate it by returning a string. Provider Now, we'll need to add a method in our Provider class that'll call the HTTPS callable function we just created. In our TempleProvider class let's add another method . addToFavList void addToFavList(String templeId) async {
    // Instantiate callable from index.js
    HttpsCallable addToFav = functions.httpsCallable('addToFavList');
    try {
      // Run the callable with the passing the current temples ID
      await addToFav.call(<String, String>{
        'templeId': templeId,
      });
    } catch (e) {
      rethrow;
    }
  } We're not updating or returning anything here. That's because we can get data from snapshots from a stream, as you'll see later. BTW, you could add this method to AuthStateProvider because it deals with user collection. Use Stream & StreamBuilder To Output Changes In RealTime We can simply use the for this. So, we'll connect with Firesotre with streams and update the screen with StreamBuilder.  So, where exactly are we using this StreamBuilder? Good question, you see getting real-time updates, means reloading(re-reading) the same collections on every change. It is obviously memory expensive. But it can cost expensive as well since Firebase charges for several reads. So, we don't want to load the list of temples, again and again, to toggle a single favorite icon. So, let's wrap only our favorite icon with stream builder instead. streams On temple_item_widget.dart make these changes. Create a function that'll call the addToFavList method from the provider class. // function to call addToFavList from provider class
  // It'll take id and providerclass as input
  void toggleFavList(String placeId, TempleProvider templeProvider) {
    templeProvider.addToFavList(placeId);
  } Inside the build method of class before the return statement. // Fetch the user doc as a stream
//#1
 Stream<DocumentSnapshot> qSnapShot = FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection('users')
        .doc(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid)
        .snapshots();

// Instantiate provider method to pass as argument for tooggle FavList
//#2
    TempleProvider templeProvider =
        Provider.of<TempleProvider>(context, listen: false); As mentioned before we'll get the Stream from Firestore, a document using the current user's ID. Instantiate provider method to pass as an argument for toggleFavList function. But make sure to turn off the listener. Replace FavIcon Section With StreamBuilder StreamBuilder(
                      // Use latest update provided by stream
                      // #1
                      stream: qSnapShot,
                      builder: (context, snapshot) {
                        if (snapshot.connectionState ==
                                ConnectionState.waiting ||
                            snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.none) {
                          return const CircularProgressIndicator();
                        } else {
                          // Get documentsnaphot which is given from the stream
                         // #2
                          final docData = snapshot.data as DocumentSnapshot;

                          // Fetch favTempleList array from user doc
                         // # 3
                          final favList = docData['favTempleList'] as List;

                          // Check if the curent widget id is among the favTempLlist
                         // #4
                          final isFav = favList.contains(widget.itemId);

                          return Expanded(
                            child: IconButton(
                                // Call toggleFavlist method on tap
                               // #5
                                onPressed: () => toggleFavList(
                                    widget.itemId, templeProvider),
                                icon: Icon(
                                  Icons.favorite,
                                  // Show color by value of isFav
                                 // #6
                                  color: isFav ? Colors.red : Colors.grey,
                                )),
                          );
                        }
                      }) Here, in the StreamBuilder Class we: Used the stream we got from Firestore 'users' collection as a stream. That way the latest change is
reflected asap. When the ConnectionState is done, first we get the latest data from the snapshot, which will be the current user's doc. Get the latest updated favTempleList array as a List from the document. Check if the current ID exists in the favItemList, which is the field passed down from the temples screen. itemId On pressing the heart icon button call the toggleFavList method of the class. Change the color of the heart icon based on the presence or absence of itemId on favTempleList. And with that latest real-time changes will be reflected in the app. Final Code The file looks like this after the changes. temple_item_widget.dart import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

} Summary In this exciting blog we: Created a Firebase HTTP Callable function to update a document in Firestore. We also wrote a simple instruction in the provider class to handle the callable. Lastly using stream and stream builder we displayed real-time changes on our screen. Show Support Alright, this is it for this time. The next part will be the last one for this series. We won't be doing anything new there. I'll give you some tasks to do on your own to continue this app and practice what you've learned so far. I'll also enlist some courses, blogs, and books that have helped me a lot to learn flutter. Please like, comment, and share the article with your friends. Thank you for your time and for those who are subscribing to the blog's newsletter, we appreciate it. Keep on supporting us.

How to Stream Real-time Changes With Firebase, Firestore and Flutter

Hello there, When I first working with FireStore I had to face many issues How can I filter documents by some criteria? How can I insert a new document from a JSON, in fact, I have to write a script to insert some new document I have to use GC Storge to backup the data, which is I need to spend more time learning about it. WTF 🤬 why not just export and import by a JSON file? If I edit the same field of many documents, I need to go through documents and documents to edit. Is there any tool to interact with FireStore like - A question pop on my head. But you know what TablePlus So yeah, I think many of you will phase the same issues like me, so I decided to make one. Check out it at https://refiapp.io Features The first version includes: 🔐 - Your privacy is our first priority. We do not keep any of your data Privacy We never ever send any of your data. Your data is your and always your 📜 - Easy view & edit a large amount of data like Excel Table view 🗒️ - You can add, edit documents like in your editor. No more wasted time clicking to add just a document JSON Editor We integrated - aka so you can feel like 🏠 Monaco Editor VS Code core 👨‍💻 - With hotkeys, you can do anything without leaving your keyboard. We are developer, we love keyboard Build for Developer Press or to open Cmd + Shift + P Cmd + / Command list 🚧 - Confidence edit data without making Production crash Preview changes P/S This is an early version, so let help me make it better by giving me some feedback. I think we can make it better P/S 2 This tool is built by Electron, Typescript, React, Vite And the Homepage is built by Cloudflare worker, Notion as backend There some many interesting when building it, I think it would be shared with the community. Which one make you interesting most?
