Pokete: Terminal based Pokemon like game
- totetsu 5y agoI had some success using the gen one Pokémon maps as a memory palace base. Very recognisable even in ascii
- ttamslam 5y agoWhat sort of things would you place in your memory palace? The concept has always been interesting but I’ve struggled to come up with useful applications outside of pure competition
- gillesjacobs 5y agoI used it a lot for university exam cramming.
- totetsu 5y agoMost practical use is speech talking points in place of cards, and foreign language vocabulary for self quizzing and revision. I never tried to keep anything really long term that way
- pigeons 5y agoI place things I want to write down when I get back to somewhere there is a pen and paper.
- gillesjacobs 5y agoLooks really cool and it's Python too! Interesting how all assets are string inserts unto the map [1]. Looks like a conceptually solid engine and great introduction to game dev. 1. https://github.com/lxgr-linux/scrap_engine/blob/master/scrap_engine.py https://github.com/lxgr-linux/scrap_engine/blob/master/scrap...
- jbmny 5y agoAwesome project. I love the idea of recreating a game in the terminal. I tried doing an exact clone of Pokemon once (with graphics and everything), but keeping the frame rate up always requires getting into the low-level weeds. Sometimes it's nice to write a purely "high-level" game without worrying about that stuff at all. I feel like the terminal is a great way to do that.
- SeanLuke 5y agoSeems to have lots of problems on Mac OS. :-(
- lxgr-linux 5y agoWhat problems do you have?
- Hani1337 5y agoTermon, not pockete. Who has a terminal in their pockets?
- politelemon 5y agoI have a terminal on my phone in my pocket!
- vander_elst 5y agoSome of the terminology might need some review e.g. second attack of this pokete https://github.com/lxgr-linux/pokete/blob/master/assets/ss/ss27.png https://github.com/lxgr-linux/pokete/blob/master/assets/ss/s...
- inportb 5y agoI bet this was intentional, given the pokete's name...
- nickstinemates 5y agoI remember an AOL chat bot where u could train and battle pokemon. And this introduced me to hex editing because the author of the chat bot hard-coded his AOL name to be able to cheat and raises arbitrary stats of your pokemon in the ui of the game server.
- nickstinemates 5y agoIf I remember correctly, you had to have a 9 or 13 letter name because it would corrupt the executable otherwise.
