Scaffold Stellar tutorial covering smart contract development on Stellar, including project setup, the guess-the-number contract walkthrough, and improvements like moving random number generation to the constructor and better error handling.
This two-part Scaffold Stellar tutorial demonstrates building dApps on Stellar from prerequisites through smart contract deployment. Part one covers project initialization, file structure, prerequisites (Stellar CLI, Node, Docker), and the guess-the-number contract code including constructor, admin functions, and contract API. Part two improves the contract by moving random number generation from after-deploy to the constructor, replacing unwrap with expect for better error messages, and shows frontend integration with TypeScript bindings. The tutorial also discusses future enhancements like adding economic incentives, token transfers, and authentication beyond admin-only access.
