# TileVille: Expansion and Community Growth Proposal

## Project Background

TileVille is an innovative on-chain strategic city development game built on the Mina blockchain.

Hey there, great proposal. I’m looking forward to the next phase of TileVille!

One question I have is:

How are you planning to create a player-vs-player mode? How would clients interact with each other? Would it require player 1 to move → wait for player 2 to move confirmation, etc.?

Thanks so much @zk_kirol

We plan to implement player-vs-player mode using Colyseus, an open-source multiplayer framework as an starting point . Players will be able to play independently without waiting for their opponent’s moves. There will be time limits for both the game link and the gameplay itself to ensure a smooth experience. This approach allows for asynchronous gameplay while maintaining competitive elements.

This proposal is approved for funding. TileVille has been one of the leading games of the ecosystem and we are happy to support the expansion to bring more gameplay/levels to the game. Risk is classified as low due to long term delivery record of the project and impact is expected to be medium. The budget is inline with the work proposed.
