Telegram Mini App Development: Enhancing the Memory Game with Card Upgrades

In my previous article on creating a brain mining mini-game bot on Telegram, I introduced a fun memory game where players earn "brains" to advance through knowledge levels represented as cards. Building on that, I've now implemented a comprehensive card system that allows players to purchase and upgrade their cards for enhanced gameplay.

Implementing the Card System

The card system is pivotal to the game's progression mechanics. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

1) Card Representation and Initialization

  • Each card represents a different field of knowledge: Programming, Design, and Data Analysis.
  • Cards are initialized with multiple levels, each level offering enhanced benefits at an increasing cost.

2) Shopping for Cards

  • Players can spend their accumulated brains to buy new cards from the shop.
  • Each card starts at Level 1 with basic knowledge and can be upgraded to higher levels for greater benefits.

3) Upgrading Cards

  • Upgrading cards unlocks advanced knowledge and abilities.
  • Higher levels require more brains, reflecting the complexity and depth of understanding achieved.

4) Persistent Storage with Telegram CloudStorage

  • Using Telegram's CloudStorage API, player scores and card levels are securely stored.
  • This ensures that progress is saved across sessions and devices, providing a seamless gaming experience.

Future Plans and Collaboration

I'm excited about the potential of this game and bot. If this article receives 5 reactions on Dev.to, I'll release the full source code of both the game and the bot (@MmrGameBot) on GitHub. Stay tuned for more updates and feel free to reach out to me on Telegram for any questions or feedback!

Let's continue to explore the endless possibilities of Telegram Mini Apps together!
