vvpet 0.5.2

Your little friend

VVPET DOCUMENTATION

vvpet is your personal pet, kinda like tamagochi

How to run

The game itself is started using the game() function, hidden inside vvpet_main

Therefore to run, you need the following:

from vvpet import vvpet_main

vvpet_main.game()

(or name it as whatever alias you want, just run the function)

Basic usage

As of version 0.5.0, the game features a save/load system that creates new files in the same directory from which the game runs, letting you save your games. Do not edit nor delete the files if you don't want to lose the data (duh)

How the game functions

Commands

The game has 2 types of commands, Utility and Action.

Utility commands are used to track / display information about your pet, and resources used in-game

Action commands interact directly with the "world", some causing ticks to happen

Tick is a unit of time, during which your pet loses some of their resources

The list of available commands is stated below

The main gameloop revolves around getting money in order to buy food and enrichment for your pet

Resources

You have several resources to keep track of, the main being your money. You start each game with a 100

The next few are pet resources.

hunger, thirst, and fun all function on a similiar basis, being replenished directly through food, or enrichment.

Depletion of fun lowers hunger and thirst by 1 each tick, while hunger and thirst deplete health

This means that your pet can survive without fun, if you have enough food and drinks

health starts at 10, and gets lowered when either of the 3 basic resources are depleted. Running out of health means game over

mood is the final "resource", deriving from the mentioned 4, but only serving as a general look into the wellbeing of your pet

In-game commands

There is a help command in-game, this list is just more comprehensive

Utility

stats is the most basic and most frequented command, displaying your pet's resources

balance shows your current money balance

inventory lists your inventory contents

mood displays the overall mood of your pet

save and load do exacty what they sound like they do. You can save/load mid-game

Actions

The following three commands do not cause a tick to happen

shop is the main place to spend your money. Bought items go directly into your inventory.

feed enables you to feed your pet, from your inventory.

pet is the simplest and cheapest (free) way to gain fun

--

work is the boring way to get money, gaining from 10 to 20 money

casino, or gamble is the fun way to get money. Currently, there are 2 games to choose from

• roulette, marked in-game as 1 is the classic game, enabling you to bet either on a color or number. Color nets you bet * 2, where Number nets you bet * 4

• blackjack, marked in-game as 2 is the game granting you the illusion of manipulating your chances. After betting, you get a chance to either hit, or pass. Your goal is to get as close to 21 as possible. After pass, the dealer makes his moves. Whoever overshoots, or is further away from 21, loses. It nets you bet * 2

end, or exit is the safe way to exit your game. You get a choice to save your game before the code exits.

Admintools
