title_body: Can Cardano be used to mint and trade gaming NFTs? Being a total noob when it comes to using blockchain for development, I would like to know if Cardano can be used, at the time being, to mint and trade NFTs for gaming purposes and if this could be fairly easy to achieved on an engine like unity or unreal.
  Or should I stick to something that is more directed towards that purpose, like Enjin?
upvoted_answer: Not currently.
  NFTs are essentially smart contracts implementing auctions for assets embedded in the Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS). So, you need a blockchain that supports smart contracts.
  Ethereum supports these via the Solidity VM and language, but Cardano's smart contract VM and language (Plutus) is forthcoming in the Goguen release of the Cardano blockchain.
  You can start getting familiar with the Plutus language and the smart contract platform via the Cardano Plutus Pioneer Program lectures (being released actively over the next few weeks). The first one is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEn6jUo-0vU .
  Apparently NFTs are implemented as native tokens on the Cardano blockchain (which don't require writing a smart contract). So, yes. You can make an NFT (platform) on top of the Cardano blockchain.
