Orderbook Arena

Orderbook Arena transforms the intimidating wall of numbers found in traditional cryptocurrency orderbooks into an engaging, intuitive battle visualization. Instead of parsing dense tables of price levels and volumes, traders watch buyers (represented as Pac-Man icons) and sellers (Space Invaders) face off across a dynamic battlefield, with the centerline marking the current market price. This gamified approach makes complex market dynamics accessible to everyone from crypto beginners to seasoned traders analyzing order flow patterns. The interface includes intuitive time-travel controls with variable playback speeds, responsive price scaling that adapts to market volatility, and a retro arcade aesthetic that makes market analysis genuinely fun.

Tech Stack:
