Dark Forest · interactive mechanism simulation

Coordinates are never posted onchain: a client brute-forces the hidden universe, generates a zkSNARK proving a valid move from a hash commitment, and the contract verifies it without ever learning the location. Edit the parameters to see the fog of war respond.

Illustrative simulation. Approximates Dark Forest's researched mechanism (MiMC hash coordinate commitments + zkSNARK move proofs, lazy onchain state updates, time-boxed rounds), but discovery odds, energy growth, and timing are simplified and randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. The "End round" button reflects a real limitation: each competitive round wiped progress, undermining the persistent-universe promise. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
