Cadence Cup Round 3 is Here.

Welcome back to Cadence Cup. Round 1 brought some wacky NFT minting action, where the winning project was a Shadowrun inspired game in Cadence that used resources in surprising ways: users created characters that could hold many different kinds of items, all represented by resources, and allowed other participants to create games for those characters. 

‍
Round 2 brought some very interesting voting strategies. Among them, the thoughtfulness that went into this Art Voting contract was off the charts. Their design allowed voters to receive fractionalized ownership of the art they voted for, which could be a powerful incentive mechanism to promote broader participation and diversity in art discovery. The team is truly impressed by the amazing ideas that community has been coming up with.

As usual, it isn’t required to have completed the first or second rounds of Cadence Cup to participate in Round 3. This is your opportunity to join, show off your skills and, most importantly, your creativity! 

‍For this challenge, explore the possibilities of resources owning other resources. This is a unique feature native to Cadence. Resource objects can store other objects inside of them, making it possible for a resource (or account) to effectively own multiple resource objects directly (not simply a list mapping on a smart contract). This allows you to see all the objects a resource owns just by looking inside it, instead of trying to parse across a bunch of different smart contracts and ledgers. 
‍
For example, this can be useful with an application like KittyHats, the NFTCollection that holds NFTs inside of it, or even combining resources of car parts into a customizable resource object. (@WittyKitty, @KittyPad, @Queen Cryptoria, and @Dennis created a game that did this for the first challenge and it was really cool!)

Check out the Kitty Hat tutorial to see a simple version of this in action!
‍
Demonstrate what you can do to make the most effective and creative use of this unique feature of Cadence. This can be any kind of smart contract you want. It could be another Voting contract, NFT contract, game or anything else. Show your creativity at work!
