Pokamon Game Developement

Posted by on December 19, 2007 No comments

Recap from a previous episode :-

So, I’m attempting to write a text based pokemon game in C++. I’ve have tried this and failed twice before. Good luck to me on my third attempt.

And I was about to give up for the third time. Thanks to there being no library for parsing html files in C/C++ and me not know any other language as fluently.

After hours of searching, and failing at other languages, I finally came accross http://www.legendarypokemon.net/ and they seemed to have a well formatted pokedex in .txt files. That probably saved me days of sitting up and formatting data off websites manually :) Thanks to them

Text-Based Pokamon Game!

What better way to start being 18, than to start making a pokemon game.
Yeah, It may seem very childish, but I believe the game mechanics are very complicated even for an adult. When I played those Gameboy versions as a kid (and now too), I wanted to try make such a game myself. To me, this is very very challenging and should probably take a lot of time to write, especially with my board exams coming up soon :(

This way round I’ll try using SQLite instead of messy text files to store data, so I’ll first need to learn SQL…..

Hope I’ll complete this before going to college.
