Card Upgrades

[patrickwieth]

For the whole card upgrade fun in the forge (shop), we need new stuff:

We need a key value object with these entries:
The values given are the preset values.

Let's call this KV Store UpgradeFactors.
There are 2 special numbers, these do not reflect real keywords but rather global parameters (ManaRatio, UpgradeBuff), for us in the blockchain this is not really relevant.

For queries we need:
QueryUpgradeFactors this returns the UpgradeFactors KV array

for TX we need:
ReportUpgradePicks this can only be done by a MatchReporter. This tx gets an array of the structure:

{ 
  picked: ["upgradeKey1", "upgradeKey2", ... ]
  dismissed: ["upgradeKey1", "upgradeKey2", ... ]
}

When this transaction is handled,

for each upgradeKeyN in dismissed
    upgradePicks[upgradeKeyN]--

for each upgradeKeyN in picked
    upgradePicks[upgradeKeyN] += 1*length(dismissed)/length(picked)

SetUpgradeFactors this tx can hard update all values of the KV store by giving an appropriate data array. This is mostly for us being able to update the chances.

We also have to update the weekly update function. How this is done, I will write in the next post.

[patrickwieth]

Here we want to call our new function "UpdateUpgradeCostFactors":

Cardchain/x/cardchain/handler.go

Line 142 in be4d9f6

func UpdateNerfLevels(ctx sdk.Context, keeper keeper.Keeper) sdk.Result {

UpdateUpgradeCostFactors is a function which

1. first filters out all keywords that have at least 3 occurences.
2. Then we normalize all entries in upgradePicks. This means
   for each entry in picks do entry /= occurence
3. Then we calculate the gini coefficient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient) of the normalized upgradePicks (an example how normalized gini coefficient is calculated can be found here

   Cardchain/x/cardchain/keeper/keeper.go

   Line 321 in be4d9f6

   var giniUPsum float64

   ).
4. If the gini coefficient is <0.1, we don't balance anything and return
5. If the gini coefficient is >0.1:

sortByValue(upgradePicks)

for(i = 0; i < balanceQuota; i++) {
    buffnerf( keys(upgradePicks)[i], true)
    buffnerf( keys(upgradePicks)[length(echantmentPicks) - i - 1], true)
}

nerfFactor = 0.9

buff(index, buff) {
    if (UpgradeCostFactors[index] > 0) {
        if (buff) UpgradeCostFactors[index] *= nerfFactor 
        else UpgradeCostFactors[index] /= nerfFactor 
    }
    else{
        if (buff) UpgradeCostFactors[index] /= nerfFactor 
        else UpgradeCostFactors[index] *= nerfFactor ) 
    }
}

Here we want to add code that resets the upgradePicks:

Cardchain/x/cardchain/keeper/vote_right.go

Line 85 in be4d9f6

func (k Keeper) ResetAllVotes(ctx sdk.Context) {

so do something like:

for each entry in upgradeFactors do:
    picks = 0
    occurence = 0

i mocked this already
