CCash is an external ledger for in-game economies, running on a webserver with a RESTful API, exceptionally fast and lightweight written in C++17.
|
|
|
|
While CCash can be used for anything that can interact with its API I think minecraft is a good example:
|
|
|
|
the currency model most Minecraft Servers adopt if any, is resource based, usually diamonds, this model is fraught with issues however:
|
|
|
|
* the primary issue is minecraft worlds are infinite leading to hyper inflation as everyone accrues more diamonds
|
|
* there is no central authority minting the currency, any consumer can introduce more diamonds to the system
|
|
* some resources are passively reapable, making the generation of currency a larger focus then of products
|
|
* locality is required for transaction
|
|
* theft is possible, ownership is possession based
|
|
|
|
CCash solves these issues and adds a level of abstraction, the main philosophy of CCash is to have fast core operations that other services build on
|
|
|
|
the CCash instance can be external to the game server

or on localhost:

running it local to the game server reduces latency for ComputerCraft connected services, fortunately CCash is sufficiently lightweight as to not impact performance on most setups.

**DISCLAIMER: if you are to run it locally and want to use ComputerCraft with it, make sure to add `127.0.0.1` to ComputerCraft's config section `allowed_domains`**
