Playground by Playgotchi
The onchain playground where communities play together
About
The problem it solves As humanity progressed, our dynamic with play changed. Our playful energy became locked away and rarely seen. We believe that humans need play to thrive. We believe that play is multiplayer. We believe that play is integral to creative expression, leading to innovation and better problem solving. Play is universal. The power of play transcends barriers and brings people together around shared experiences and strengthens their bonds. [**Playground by Playgotchi**](https://playground.playgotchi.com) makes it easy for people to participate and create in multiplayer mode. We bring people into playgrounds to create together and mint the moment. This is only the beginning. The more people play, the more features will open, including custom playgrounds, token-gating individual playgrounds, organization settings, mint splits between all contributors, games, chat, social sharing, etc. We, the Guardians of Play, have a duty to revitalize the [**Playgotchi**](https://playgotchi.com) and restore play to the galaxy. Will you join the mission?
How it's made
Challenges we ran into **Authentication** We initially used Clerk for authentication but switched to Dynamic. As non-developers, we found the documentation confusing. We integrated Dynamic with NextAuth, but both had recent updates, making the documentation and ChatGPT responses outdated. Eventually, we used useIsLoggedIn to gate the application. **Zora Mint** It was a hurdle trying to decipher Zora docs and find good examples or tutorials to follow so that we could implement their minting functionality into our project. Using AI assistants in conjunction with the available information, we pushed through and got it implemented.
