Contributing

Prerequisites: install just (brew install just), then clone the repo.

just setup   # installs uv, gh, syncs Python env, installs pre-commit hooks
just test    # run the test suite

Open a PR; CI automatically runs pre-commit, pytest, and a package build check. All checks must pass before merge.

Releasing

Versioning is automatic via git tags — there is no version file to update manually.

From a clean main branch:

just release v0.1.0

The script validates that you're on main with a clean working tree and that the latest CI run succeeded, then tags and pushes. The publish workflow runs sequentially:

build → TestPyPI → PyPI

If any step fails the workflow stops before publishing to PyPI.

Goals

IdleMaxx is an OSRS-inspired idle/incremental game built in Python. It started as an exploration of data modeling for a game — a concrete, interesting domain to experiment with software design. It's not a clone of OSRS: it takes inspiration from the skill-based progression and idle mechanics, but diverges intentionally. There's no real-time combat or PvP — it's purely idle/skilling gameplay.

Primarily a personal project and a game to play with friends. Long-term, the goal is for it to be publicly installable by anyone via PyPI and playable locally out of the box, with multiplayer via Discord as a first-class feature.

• Learn by building — The project is as much about exploring software design (data modeling, architecture, tooling) as it is about the game itself.
• Playable with friends — The Discord bot frontend is a first-class goal, not an afterthought.
• Installable and accessible — Anyone should be able to pip install idlemaxx and start playing.
• Continuously improvable — The game's scope should grow organically over time, without accumulating technical debt that makes changes painful.
