How to Deploy a Lottery

To deploy a new lottery, anyone can call the create function on the LooteryFactory proxy contract.

`create`

function create(
    string memory name,
    string memory symbol,
    uint8 pickLength,
    uint8 maxBallValue,
    uint256 gamePeriod,
    uint256 ticketPrice,
    uint256 communityFeeBps,
    address prizeToken,
    uint256 seedJackpotDelay,
    uint256 seedJackpotMinValue
) external returns (address);

Parameters:

Argument	Description	Example input
name	The name of the Lottery and ticket NFT	WarpWatch PowerBALD
symbol	The symbol of the ticket NFT	WWPB
pickLength	How many numbers should be picked in a ticket	5
maxBallValue	The maximum number that can be picked in a ticket (inclusive)	18 (range: 1 to 18)
gamePeriod	The length of a round in seconds. Minimum is 600 seconds	86400 (24h)
ticketPrice	The price of a ticket in the prize tokens decimal format	99000000000000000000 (99 DEGEN)
communityFeeBps	Percentage of ticket price that goes to the community, in basis points (5000 = 50%). The maximum is 9500 (95%), as 5% is reserved for the protocol fee.	5000 (50%)
prizeToken	The address of the ERC-20 token used as the lottery’s prize as well as the purchase currency.	`0xeb54dacb4c2ccb64f8074eceea33b5ebb38e5387` (WDEGEN)
seedJackpotDelay	Delay after jackpot seed after which it can be topped up again. Cannot be zero.	3600 (1 hour)
seedJackpotMinValue	The minimum amount that must be supplied when calling seedJackpot.	99000000000000000000 (99 DEGEN)

In the resulting LooteryLaunched event, we can find the newly deployed lottery address emitted in the argument looteryProxy. The caller of the create function is the owner of the new lottery.

Example deployment transaction.

Additional notes:

maxBallValue: Bear in mind that the number must be higher than pickLength, and that 0 is not a valid ball value.
gamePeriod: The minimum game period of 600 seconds is 10 minutes.
seedJackpotDelay: This cannot be zero.
seedJackpotMinValue: This mitigates denial-of-service attacks, so set it to an appropriate amount but as high as possible. Cannot be zero.
