Development

This repository can be downloaded with git (a mastermndio video about git). Once that's done, create a virtual environment in the same directory:

python -m venv venv

note: depending on how Python was installed, python may be python3, and venv may need to be downloaded separately (e.g. as python3-venv)

This creates a directory called venv in the current directory.

Then, activate the virtual environment. On Linux, this looks like:

. venv/bin/activate

Make sure pip inside the virtual environment is up to date:

pip install --upgrade pip

Then, install the game in the virtual environment:

pip install ./

And you're ready to go! Change some files, re-install, and run again!

Packaging

Flit is used to package and upload the game.

To upload your own version, change the information in [pyproject.toml][flit pyproject.toml]:

• dist-name: replace 2ndbillingcycle with your username
• author: your name
• author-email: your email
• home-page: either put the link to your GitHub fork, or remove this line

Then, install Flit and build the distribution files. With the virtual environment activated:

pip install --upgrade flit
python -m flit build

Then, follow the official Python packaging guide for uploading the package to the Test Python Package Index.

Alternatively, you can [create an API token on PyPI with a scope for "Entire account"][api token], and run flit publish, pasting the created API token for the password.

API dependencies

This game uses https://pokeapi.co/ to get information about Pokémon.
