Set up your development environment with Docker and Visual Studio Code, run in Docker containers, and install key extensions (Dev Containers, Docker, WSL) while using Q&A or Discord for help.
Find and contribute to the wax education courses repository on GitHub by locating the main branch, forking or cloning the repo, and submitting issues or pull requests.
Learn to assemble a docker file from a ubuntu 18.04 base, install wget, kit, build essentials, ca certificates, eosio binary, and the eosio contract development toolkit to run smart contracts.
Create a dockerfile to run a development container in vscode using a linux bash shell, a .devcontainer folder, and eosio web ide base image.
Learn to run your wax blockchain project in a dockerized dev container, commit changes to GitHub, and configure a dev container json. Forward ports and troubleshoot Docker setup.
Start blockchain development inside a container by running nodeos, installing plugins, and forwarding ports; verify blocks with logs and curl Get Info, and run separate containers to communicate with wax.
Create and manage EOSIO wallets, import private keys, and use cleos commands to create, open, lock, unlock, and import wallets for EOSIO development on the WAX NFT game workflow.
Create a token contract for the game by using the EOSIO token contract, copy from a Git repository, and organize include, src, and Ricardian files in a new token folder.
Install the C/C++ extension in VS Code, resolve CMake messages, and configure a Linux-oriented C/C++ project with include paths, compiler settings, and IntelliSense.
Deploy the first smart contract to the blockchain by starting the blockchain, opening the wallet, and using the set command to assign the placement board game token contract.
Navigate the token smart contract to create, issue, retire, and transfer tokens, inspecting the header and cpp files, assets, symbol, and maximum supply.
Explore how to query token tables with cleos, understand scopes based on the symbol, and inspect accounts and stats tables to view balances and issuer details for nft tokens.
This optional lesson demonstrates creating wood and food tokens on WAX by editing and reusing token-creation commands, signing and issuing them, and verifying balances across accounts and scopes.
Transfer tokens from a wallet to another using the transfer function, including quantity, decimals, symbol, and a memo. Then verify balances with get currency and table queries to confirm transfers.
Learn steps to recover a stalled blockchain: replay or hard replay the blockchain, reset the database or Docker container, and use pkill before closing Visual Studio to keep blocks ticking.
