2017 7DRL, PokemonRL Day 5

Managed to advance a lot today! there’s still a long road but things are looking much better now:

  • Added simple “route” type map generation (A straight road with some patches of tall grass).
  • Ported my Cellular Automata classes to JavaScript and applied to route map in order to make the patches of grass look irregular
  • Semiopaque tiles so you can look a little into tall grass but must walk into it to find wild pokemon.

  • Pokemons slots, selecting, releasing and pulling back.
  • Make pokemon fight
  • Catch pokemon using pokeballs
  • Use potions on pokemons
  • Pokemarts where you can potions and stuff

  • Pokegyms: Single room with leader, door closes when entering. Badge appear when all pokemon defeated.
