💿Game Result Algorithm

Random Algorithm in XRP Flip

To ensure fairness and transparency in each game, XRP Flip uses a sophisticated randomization algorithm powered by the blockchain. This approach combines on-chain data with player-specific inputs to generate unique, verifiable outcomes for every round. Here’s how it works:

1. Data from the Blockchain

  • Every time a player places a bet, the system fetches the Block Hash from the most recent ledger on the XRP Ledger.

  • This Block Hash is a unique and immutable value, providing a reliable and tamper-proof source of random data.

2. Combining with Player Information and Timestamp

  • The system then combines the Block Hash with the User ID of the player and the Timestamp (the exact time the bet was placed).

  • This combination creates a unique string for each play, ensuring that each result is distinct and cannot be duplicated.

3. Generating the Combined String and Random Value

  • The combined string (Block Hash + User ID + Timestamp) is then processed through a SHA-256 hash function to produce a final hash value.

  • A Random Number is generated by taking this hash value and performing a modulo operation. For example, the hash can be divided by 8, and the remainder (1 to 8) serves as the random result.

  • This approach produces a random number within a desired range and ensures a truly unique outcome each time.

4. Transparency for Players

  • After each game, the system provides players with the following details:

    • Block Hash

    • User ID

    • Timestamp

    • Random Number

  • Players can independently verify their results by checking the original combined string and calculating the random outcome themselves. This ensures that every player can confirm the fairness of each result, as it’s based on publicly available blockchain data.

Example Calculation

  • Suppose the following inputs are given:

    • Block Hash: 0xabc123def456

    • User ID: user789

    • Timestamp: 1697858491000

  • Combined string: 0xabc123def456user7891697858491000

  • After hashing this combined string and calculating the modulo, the system generates a Random Number between 1 and 8.

Advantages of This Algorithm

  • Transparency: Players can verify results independently.

  • Tamper-Proof: The inputs (Block Hash, User ID, Timestamp) are unique and immutable.

  • True Randomness: Using blockchain data ensures results are genuinely random and free from any external influence.

This algorithm enhances player trust and guarantees absolute fairness in every game round.
