With the introduction of blockchain technology there has been a number of revolutionary changes within different industrial sector such as banking, financial ,institutional etc. Besides this  there are several more industries where blockchain can have a huge impact, and one of them is the  gaming industries. Here i am talking about cryptokitties which is considered to be the first blockchain base gaming platform.

What is cryptokitties

Cryptokitties is a gaming platform built under the Ethereum blockchain technology that allows users to collect, breed, upvote and sell virtual kitties. It was launched in 2017 by Axiom zen.

The game went  viral beyond imagination that the number of Ethereum transaction increased slowing down the network. Many people had also make a good amount of money from this game with some users selling their kitties up to a wooping $117,712 worth of Ether.

What are cryptokitties

In cryptokitties it all about buying , breeding and selling what is so called a virtual kitties.just like in real cat each kitties has its own unique number and 256-bit genome and DNA. Which latter characterised into different background colour, fur, shape, facial expression, stripes pattern etc.

In cryptokitties it follows the same genomic technology of real living being but the only difference is that fact this game uses  something called genetic algorithm which combines with the blockchain technology inorder to build the game.

How to start the game

In order to start playing the game you need a fast browser like brave,crome or firefox, an ethereum wallet (they recomend Dapper but youbcan still used Metamask), some amount of Ether to pay for gas fee and one or two kitties .

So go to the cryptokitties.co website and click on the start button on the top right corner. Then enter your email, password and connect to a suitable ethereum wallet. 

After logging in your account go to the  kitties marketplace and select one or two kitties per your choive   by sorting their price, age, generation  cooldown etc in inorder to start. Make sure to select kitties with fast cool down.

Cooldown is the time needed for ketties to breed again. The faster the cooldown timing the more you can breed .

Breeding cryptokitties

Just like in real life breeding of cryptokitties require two kiitties of different gender which they term it as Dame(mother) and Sire(father). Every kitties can become either a Dame or Sire as per our choice. But each kitties can only be one at a time. Once it become Dame it cannot become Sire anymore. 

Breeding kitties charges two type of fees transaction fees and breeding fees. Each trasaction in order to buy the Dame and Sire require gas where as breeding fees is necesary to create a new kitties. Currently breeding charge 0.008 ETH.

For every 15 minutes a new generation 0 cat is born and the price starts from 1.5 times the average price of the last 5 kitties. The price remain at its peak for 24 hours until unless sime one buys it.generation 0 cat are more expensive beacause according to change in time it becomes increasingly rare to find it. The number of generation 0 kitties is fixed to 50,000. But the number of other generation type can be up to 4 billion.

The generation of new born kitties is higher  than the generation of the highest genaration parent. I.e when a generation 2 kitties breed with generation 10 kitties then its new born kittie generation will be 11

Selling and shiring kitties

After a sucessfull breeding it time to sell or auction the new born kitties in order to make some money by playing the game is traders. Each time you place a kitty for auction, it will cost you around 4 cents.The higher the generation of your Kitties the higher the market value.

People can also earn money by shiring your new born kitties at the market. The default share market price is 0.005ETH.Moreover you can use this shire to breed your own kitties by selecting and buying another kittie from a marketplace. But according to natural law you cannot breed your new born kitties with their parent kitties
