Developing a blockchain Crypto Kitties like game for class

Hello,

I'm a computer engineering student, and for my networking class we have to come up with a project. My partner and I want to learn more about rust and blockchain technologies, so we want to make a game similar to crypto kitties. Any suggestions for crates/frameworks available that we could use? We're new to Rust, but have experience with C++, C#, and other languages.

Thanks for any help!
