Hello Hive ❤️
We’re back at the CBRS Studio for the 66th time! It’s been about three weeks since our last #podcast, but no matter what, we’re still cooking. We’ve got a packed episode today covering everything from building blockchain #games with AI to some serious community news about #Hive.

The Birth of Hivecade: Coding with AI
The last three weeks have been a wild development ride. It all started when @minigunner needed a specific repair software for a client, and a 12-year-old @dovycola jumped in to help code it using Python and AI! After seeing how fast we could build functional software, a lightbulb went off. If we could build that, what else could we do? The answer was simple: connect it to the #Hive blockchain!
Minigunner spent the next few weeks over-saturating our screens and building out #Hivecade. Here is what we managed to cook up with the help of AI:
- We built fully playable games like Battleship, a Tetris clone, Hive Invaders, and Hexa Break.
- We connected everything to the Hive @keychain so players can log in and compete.
- We implemented an online radar, leaderboards, and user profiles that pull data directly from the Hive #blockchain.
- We made sure everything was totally mobile-friendly so you can play on your phone.
- We even built a spinning wheel #giveaway tool that automatically sends Hive rewards directly to the winner's wallet!
The craziest part? We aren't game developers! It took a lot of prompt tweaking and troubleshooting when the AI gave us bad code, but we kept pushing.

3Speak Updates: Leveling Up Video
On the video front, @threespeak has rolled out some fantastic new updates that we are super excited about.
- They launched a brand-new video player featuring a new SDK.
- You can now watch and edit Shorts directly on the main app.
- They introduced Playlists to better organize content.
- If someone remixes your video, you automatically get 5% of the earnings as a thank you!

SPK Network 2.0 & Community Creations
The @spknetwork just launched version 2.0! They are rolling out a new Layer 2 governance model, which is a huge step forward for #the ecosystem.
We also want to give a massive shoutout to the community. After seeing our posts about Hivecade, @gibic decided to take the plunge and use AI to create a Rock Paper Scissors game on Hive. It just goes to show that the sky is no limit—if you have a vision, the tools are out there for anyone to build!

WorldMapPin Revamp
Quick update on @detlev: he is currently hard at work renovating and remodeling @worldmappin. We will definitely be bringing him on the podcast in the near future to talk broadly about all the cool changes coming to that project!

The Bad News: Hive Inflation
We have to talk about the elephant in the room. In February, an extra 10 million Hive were added into circulation. This is heavily impacting #inflation, and it's something the community needs to address. We highly encourage everyone to jump into the Discord discussions and start talking about this. The community has the strength to figure this out, but we need everyone's input.
Thanks to everyone for tuning in, commenting, and supporting the stream! The community gives us the drive to keep building. See you next time!
