Wowngeon is a web-based roguelike game that integrates with Monero (XMR) and Wownero (WOW) networks for a unique crypto-gaming experience. Players enter randomly generated dungeons with the goal of escaping before the next blockchain block is discovered. The game features three distinct game modes with optional payment integration.

Game Modes

🆓 FREE Mode

Unlimited free play
No payments required
Full game features available

💰 PAID_SINGLE Mode

Pay per game (default: 0.005 XMR)
2x payout for successful escape
3x payout for escape with treasure
Automatic payouts to user addresses

🎫 PAID_CREDITS Mode

Buy 10-game credit packages (default: 0.05 XMR)
Play 10 games with purchased credits
No individual payouts (credits consumed)

Payment System Features

Technical Architecture

Backend Payment Infrastructure

Database Manager: PostgreSQL connection pooling, migrations, health checks
Wallet RPC Service: Direct wallet integration, payment monitoring, batch payout processing
RPC Service: Blockchain communication with automatic failover between endpoints
Game Mode Manager: Payment validation, credit management, user eligibility checking

Payment Database Schema

Users Table: User profiles, payout addresses, game statistics
Games Table: Game records with outcomes, payments, and rewards
Payments Table: Direct wallet payment tracking with status updates
Payouts Table: Batch payout management with transaction records

Address Detection System

Chat Monitoring: Real-time regex detection of XMR/WOW addresses in chat
Security Warnings: Automatic clipboard virus alerts for user safety
Confirmation Flow: Two-step confirmation before setting payout addresses
Frontend Integration: Styled UI notifications and user prompts

API Endpoints

Payment Management

GET /api/user/mode/:userId - Get user's current game mode
POST /api/user/address/:userId - Set user's payout address

Game Information

GET /api/game/modes - Available game modes and pricing
GET /api/game/stats/:userId - User's game statistics and history

Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

Node.js 16+ with npm
PostgreSQL 12+ database
Wallet-RPC service access (optional, will fallback to FREE mode)

Installation Steps

Clone the repository:

git clone [repository-url]
cd wowngeon/src

Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Environment Configuration:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database and Wallet-RPC credentials

Database Setup:

# Create PostgreSQL database
createdb wowngeon

# Database migrations will run automatically on first start

Start the server:
```
node index.js
```
Access the game:
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000
- The server will gracefully fallback to FREE mode if payment systems are unavailable

Environment Configuration

Key environment variables in .env:

# Game Mode Configuration
DEFAULT_GAME_MODE=FREE
PAID_SINGLE_PRICE=0.005
PAID_CREDITS_PRICE=0.05

# Database Configuration  
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/wowngeon

# Wallet RPC Configuration
PRIMARY_WALLET_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:34570
WALLET_RPC_USER=your_rpc_user
WALLET_RPC_PASSWORD=your_rpc_password

# Crypto RPC Configuration
PRIMARY_RPC_URL=http://localhost:18081
FALLBACK_RPC_URL=http://backup-node:18081

Payment Flow

PAID_SINGLE Mode

User requests to play paid game
System generates Wallet-RPC payment request
User completes payment (0.005 XMR default)
Game starts after payment confirmation
Automatic 2x or 3x payout on successful escape

PAID_CREDITS Mode

User purchases 10-game credit package (0.05 XMR default)
Credits added to user account after payment
Each game consumes one credit
No individual payouts (credits are the value)

Address Detection Workflow

User pastes XMR/WOW address in chat
System detects address via regex pattern matching
Security warning displayed about clipboard viruses
User confirms address in two-step process
Address saved for automatic payouts

Game Controls & Features

WASD or Arrow Keys: Move player through dungeon
Enter: Enter dungeon when block timing allows
Chat: Commands and communication (with address detection)
Real-time Multiplayer: See other players and chat in real-time
Blockchain Integration: Game timing tied to block discoveries

Testing

The payment system includes comprehensive test coverage:

# Run address detection tests
cd test
node test_address_detection.js

Test suite covers:

XMR address pattern matching (95 characters, starts with 4/8/A/B)
WOW address pattern matching (97 characters, starts with W)
Invalid address rejection
Regex boundary conditions

Production Deployment

Security Considerations

Database credentials should use environment variables
Wallet-RPC credentials must be kept secure
RPC endpoints should be trusted nodes only
Consider rate limiting on payment endpoints

Monitoring & Logging

Payment processing events logged for audit trails
Database health checks with automatic failover
Wallet-RPC webhook validation and processing
Graceful degradation logs when payment systems unavailable

Scalability Features

Connection pooling for database performance
Batch payout processing to reduce transaction fees
RPC failover system for blockchain reliability
Modular architecture supports horizontal scaling
