Magical Potion Brewery Challenge

Theme: Magical Potion Brewery

Entities:

1. Wizards: Users who are magical potion brewers.
2. Ingredients: Different magical ingredients required for potion-making.
3. Potion Recipes: A collection of potion recipes, each specifying the required ingredients and steps.
4. Brewery: The central location where wizards brew potions.

Functionality:

1. Potion Brewing: Wizards can select a potion recipe and brew potions by combining the necessary ingredients.
2. Ingredient Management: Allow wizards to gather and manage their stock of magical ingredients.
3. Recipe Discovery: Wizards can discover new potion recipes by experimenting with different ingredient combinations.
4. Potion Catalog: Maintain a catalog of all brewed potions, including their properties and effects.
5. Wizard Profiles: Allow wizards to create profiles, track their brewing history, and showcase their most powerful potions.
6. Potion Trading: Wizards can trade potions with each other, with potion properties affecting trade values.
7. Leaderboard: Implement a leaderboard to showcase the most accomplished potion brewers.

Technologies:

1. Kotlin: As the primary programming language.
2. Spring Boot: To build the backend API.
3. Spring Data JPA: For managing data related to wizards, ingredients, recipes, and potions.
4. H2 Database: To store information about wizards, ingredients, recipes, and potions.
5. Spring Security: Handle user authentication and authorization.
6. JUnit and Mockito: For unit testing.
7. Swagger: To document the API.

Target Technology/Concept:

Focus on building a RESTful API using Spring Boot, implementing secure user authentication and authorization for potion brewing and trading operations.

Project Architecture:

Build this project as a monolith since it's not overly complex and doesn't require microservices.

Challenges:

1. Dynamic Recipe Discovery: Create a system for wizards to discover new potion recipes through experimentation.
2. Potion Properties: Implement a system for defining and calculating the properties and effects of brewed potions.
3. Ingredient Management: Design a way for wizards to gather, trade, and manage their stock of magical ingredients.
4. Leaderboard Calculation: Design an efficient algorithm for calculating and updating the leaderboard based on wizards' achievements.
5. User Authentication: Implement secure user authentication and authorization for different API endpoints.

This Magical Potion Brewery challenge offers a whimsical and creative theme that combines potion-making, experimentation, and trading within a magical world. Have fun building your Kotlin backend for this enchanting theme!
