reach-lang VS AlgoSwap

Here is a link to their website https://reach.sh/ . Check out their documentation, discord (great community), and they have videos on youtube as well!

I'd highly suggest looking into Reach language (reach.sh). It's a smart contract language based on javascript that has the ability to deploy on ethereum, algorand, and conflux blockchains (i'm sure they will add more at some point). It's a lot simpler to learn than solidity for instance.

https://reach.sh there are also sdks available for Java, JavaScript, Python, go

Pokerand.io is built from the ground-up using Flutter, a UI software development kit created by Google. The Smart Contract, which handles deposits, withdrawals, authentication, and maintains player balances on-chain, is built using the Reach.sh smart contract platform (https://reach.sh/). The Reach contract will be published as an open-source project on GitHub, along with simple NodeJS programs to manually reproduce Deposits and Withdrawals of tokens.

reach.sh is...

When this was first released someone commented "RIP reach" and I assumed the contracts were written with reach.sh

The second point is somewhat invalid. Aside from pyteal, which compiles python to teal smart contracts, there is also Reach which is JavaScript to teal.

If you want a game where there are smart contracts and moves are recorded on the blockchain then either I suggest to wait for Cardano sidechains to itself with smart contract languages which are a bit easier (e.g. https://github.com/reach-sh/reach-lang) or simply develop in Solidity on Milkomeda sidechain with MetaMask.

In this article, we will cover a tutorial on how to build and deploy your decentralized Application on 4everland. For this case, we will be using react js and 4everland will be used to manage our front-end. The Application will use the Ethereum network and it will be written in Reach, a dApp programming language that is simple to learn and has a Javascript syntax.

If you want to look at some examples of smart contracts implemented in a higher level language, there's reach, which is Js based, which compiles to various chain vms including avm. Their GitHub has numerous example smart contracts that I found useful. Their docs & walkthroughs are also good to get you started thinking the right way. You may even consider it for implementation if you're comfortable with JS. It also provides compile time assertions that double check your code for things like "value X should only be visible to participant A" which I found great as a concept.

I am not currently aware of a condensed list that also presents information current state of development. Complementing the links u/estantef shared, there is also the Algorand Asia Accelerator Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGi5rSYpKqxbMQoSATS_jshTL6omA4fdv. And here is the Algorand Europe Accelerator Demo Day playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB5pt7smHvRT3O3g6j_BjXwbNN-hTpFQ-. I can't add this video to the playlist https://youtu.be/Vedml0vxnVI and videos for the two projects Dopamine and Blockswap Network are missing. Some other projects are Venue One, Opulous, AlgoSwap and so on. Most of the projects are launching in the next few weeks. Some projects run on Algorand but are not decentralized like lofty.ai, Dahai, uncopied and more. Yieldly will hold its IDO on TrustSwap on May 21 and launch next month. Opulous will announce a well-known artist in the next few weeks and also launch soon after. In addition, Balancer will also come to Algorand. The company that also developed the Reach programming language is working on this.

Yes, somebody asked them and they are working on it. We will also have an exchange for ASA algoswap https://github.com/hyplabs/AlgoSwap. They are about to launch. And of course your bank/card issuer may use USDC natively or like with VersaBank soon their VCAD. In the EU we have Monerium. They give you an IBAN (bank number). In those cases you don't need to hold Algorand. They pay the transaction fees with their ALGOs.

This is a project for that exact idea: https://github.com/hyplabs/AlgoSwap
