Creating a simple farming game using Sway can be an exciting venture into the world of decentralized applications. In this guide, we will take you through the complete process of setting up the game on your local machine. From installing necessary tools to configuring your wallet, we’ve got you covered!
Prerequisites
- Ensure you have fuelup installed on your system.
- Make sure to use the latest toolchain available.
Setting Up Your Wallet
Before you can interact with your farming game, you’ll need to set up a Fuel-compatible wallet:
- Install a Fuel-compatible wallet extension.
- Copy your wallet address in b256 format (it should start with
0x
and notfuel
).
Configuring the Project
Now, it’s time to configure your project for local development:
- Navigate to the frontend folder of your project.
- Open the
src/chainConfig.json
file. - Edit line 7 to include your address. Replace
YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE
as follows:
json
owner: 0xYOUR_ADDRESS_HERE,
amount: 0x00000000FFFFFFFF,
asset_id: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,
This step ensures that your wallet has the necessary test funds on your local network!
Starting the Local Node
With your wallet configured, you can now start your local development environment:
- Run the following command inside the frontend folder:
- You should see the message Dev completed successfully!
sh cd frontend
npx fuels dev
Running the Frontend
Now that your local node is up, let’s run the frontend:
- Execute the command:
npm start
. - The contract ID will update automatically, but remember to check the asset ID manually every time you redeploy the contract!
Final Touches: Ensure Network Connection
Make sure that your wallet is also connected to your local network instead of the testnet. This is crucial for seamless interactions between your wallet and the game.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during this setup, here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- Ensure fuelup is properly installed and updated.
- Double-check your wallet address and configuration in the
chainConfig.json
file. - If you see errors when starting your local node, try restarting your terminal and running the commands again.

Diving into Analogies
Think of your Sway farming game similar to planting seeds in a garden. First, you need to prepare the soil (install fuelup and set up your wallet). Next, you choose the seeds you want to plant (your wallet address) and map out where to plant them (the chainConfig.json
). Once everything is in place, you can start planting (run the local node and frontend). Remember to water your garden regularly (update your asset ID) and ensure it gets enough sunlight (connect to the right network). With care and attention, your garden will flourish!
