## **Introduction**

Tamagotchi serves as your virtual companion, offering the opportunity to nourish it for energy and engage in interactive activities to foster its social, physical, and cognitive growth. Additionally, you can impart advanced life skills to your Tamagotchi, instructing it in the intricacies of daily routines.

**Building a Tamagotchi-themed metaverse game on the EOS blockchain is a straightforward endeavor, requiring only the integration of JavaScript, AI technology, and blockchain functionality.**

When creating a smart contract, you don’t have to set up your local blockchain. Instead, you can leverage a pre-configured [web IDE](https://ide.eosnetwork.com/) developed by the EOS Network Foundation ([ENF](https://eosnetwork.com/)) and deploy it on the [Jungle testnet](https://monitor.jungletestnet.io/) for validation.

## **How to build a game on the EOS blockchain**

You'll be employing [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/introduction) for the front-end, utilizing C++ for crafting smart contracts on the EOS blockchain, and integrating the two components seamlessly with [WharfKit](https://wharfkit.com/guides). In the embedded video below, one of the ace EOS Developers, Nathan James, shows you a path to develop a **full-fledged working tamagotchi game in just 40 minutes**. This serves as a foundation that you can expand upon and capitalize on your digital assets at any scale.
