🏇 GOR Race - Solana Horse Racing Game

A decentralized horse racing betting game built on Solana where players can create races, join with referral codes, and compete for prizes using native GOR tokens.

🎯 Overview

GOR Race is a blockchain-based horse racing simulation where:

• Anyone can create races with configurable wait times
• Players join races using unique referral codes
• Races have a two-phase system: joining period + 60-second race simulation
• Winners are determined randomly and can claim their prizes
• Platform takes a 5% fee from the total pool
• Players can create profiles with usernames and track their statistics
• Comprehensive leaderboard system ranks players by various metrics

🏗️ System Architecture

Race Lifecycle

1. Profile Creation: Players create profiles with usernames for leaderboard tracking
2. Race Creation: Race creator sets wait time (30-180 seconds) and receives a referral code
3. Joining: Players use referral codes to join races and select horses (1-10)
4. Execution Phase 1: After wait time expires, race simulation begins (60 seconds)
5. Execution Phase 2: Race completes, winners are determined
6. Prize Claiming: Winners can claim their share of the prize pool
7. Stats Update: Players update their statistics for leaderboard tracking

Race States

• Pending: Waiting for players to join
• Racing: 60-second race simulation in progress
• Completed: Race finished, prizes available
• Cancelled: Not enough players joined (minimum 1 player required)

Program Accounts

1. PlatformVault: Stores platform configuration and fee collection
2. Race: Stores race state, participants, and results
3. PlayerEntry: Individual player's race entry with stats tracking
4. PlayerProfile: Player's username and statistics for leaderboard
5. TokenVault: Holds race entry fees until distribution

Leaderboard Scoring System

The leaderboard uses a weighted scoring system that considers multiple factors:

Base Score Calculation:

• 🥇 Wins: 10 points each
• 🏆 Podium finishes: 3 points each
• 🎯 Race participation: 1 point each
• 💰 Earnings: 1 point per GOR earned

Consistency Bonus: Players with 10+ races get additional multipliers based on win rate:

• 30%+ win rate: 1.5x multiplier
• 20%+ win rate: 1.3x multiplier
• 10%+ win rate: 1.1x multiplier

This rewards both high performance and consistent participation.

🎮 Usage

await program.methods
  .initialize(platformFeeBps)
  .accounts({
    platformVault: platformVaultPda,

await program.methods
  .createRace()
  .accounts({
    race: racePda,
    creator: creator.publicKey,
    systemProgram: SystemProgram.programId,
    clock: SYSVAR_CLOCK_PUBKEY,
  })
  .signers([creator])
  .rpc();

Join a Race

await program.methods
  .joinRace(horseNumber)
  .accounts({
    race: racePda,
    playerEntry: playerEntryPda,
    player: player.publicKey,
    playerTokenAccount: playerTokenAccount,
    raceTokenVault: raceTokenVault,
    tokenProgram: TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID,
    systemProgram: SystemProgram.programId,
  })
  .signers([player])
  .rpc();

Execute Race (Automatic after 60 seconds)

await program.methods
  .executeRace()
  .accounts({
    race: racePda,
    randomnessOracle: randomnessOracle,
    clock: SYSVAR_CLOCK_PUBKEY,
  })
  .rpc();

Claim Prize

await program.methods
  .claimPrize()
  .accounts({
    race: racePda,
    playerEntry: playerEntryPda,
    player: player.publicKey,
    playerTokenAccount: playerTokenAccount,
    raceTokenVault: raceTokenVault,
    platformVault: platformVaultPda,
    platformTokenAccount: platformTokenAccount,
    tokenProgram: TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID,
  })
  .signers([player])
  .rpc();

🧪 Testing

Run all tests

anchor test --provider.cluster https://rpc.gorbagana.wtf

Run specific test

anchor test --provider.cluster https://rpc.gorbagana.wtf -- --grep "should create race"

🔐 Security Considerations

1. Randomness: Uses on-chain randomness combining slot hashes and timestamps
2. Reentrancy Protection: State transitions prevent double claims
3. Authority Checks: Only authority can modify platform settings
4. Overflow Protection: Uses checked math operations
5. Time-based Execution: Races auto-execute after timeout

📊 Horse Names Pool

The program randomly selects 10 horses from this pool for each race:

• Bonk, Samo, Orca, Raydium, Marinade
• Serum, Mango, Drift, Jupiter, Phantom
• Solend, Saber, Mercurial, Tulip, Francium
• Port, Oxygen, Bonfida, Step, Grape
• Sunny, Quarry, Aldrin, Cyclos, Lifinity
• Hubble, Kamino, Marginfi, Cypher, Zeta

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Insufficient GOR tokens

   • Ensure you have enough GOR for transactions and rent
   • Request from Gorbagana faucet

2. Program deployment fails

   • Check wallet balance
   • Verify RPC endpoint is correct
   • Ensure program size is within limits

3. Transaction fails

   • Check account ownership
   • Verify PDA derivation
   • Ensure proper token accounts exist
