Darkforest Aztec

This monorepo hosts an experimental Darkforest-style game built on the Aztec network. Both the Noir contracts and the browser client are still under active development.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Yarn 1.x
• Nargo (to compile Noir contracts)
• Aztec CLI (to compile, generate bindings, and deploy)

Install

yarn install

The root package.json uses workspaces, so this installs dependencies for both client and contracts.

Run Example App

1. Install dependencies

yarn install

2. Compile contracts and copy artifacts

yarn build-contract
yarn copy-artifacts

3. Start aztec local network

aztec start --local-network

4. Deploy contracts to local network

yarn deploy-contracts

5. Start app development server

yarn dev

6. For Perlin Noise go to http://localhost:3000/perlin-visualizer.html

Workspace layout

• contracts/ - Noir sources, deployment script, and generated bindings (see contracts/README.md)
• client/ - Web client that interacts with the deployed contract (see client/README.md)
