TAMA

a command-line tamagotchi-like friend

DEPENDENCIES/REQUIREMENTS

• python 3.7.3
• colorama
• inflect
• six
• python-Levenshtein

SETUP

(better documentation coming soon)

this game is run entirely on the command line. i built it on debian, and i assume it will work okay on any unix-based system, assuming the above requirements are met. it has been roughly tested on macos. i do not have access to windows at the moment, and i don't have any immediate plans to test windows compatibility.

(if you are a windows user, you are welcome to try this and report back)

to install, first clone this repo. then change to the repo directory and run the command:

pip install .

then run tama to begin.

the first run will initialize a directory at ~/.tama for game data.

FUTURE IDEAS

• combat simulation
• moods
• growth
• breeding

HISTORY/CREDITS

• inspired by some side commentary from angelica at solarpunk magic computer club summer 2020
• roughly taking place in the same universe as #txtmines

CONTRIBS

this is mostly a project by endo, with thanks to SMCC for a cool environment to occasionally work in.

i am not currently open for collaboration, but i will amend this text with my expectations/guidelines if that changes.
