An epic and totally awesome battle simulator for the terminal/cmd

this epik project originally started on November 8th 2024 yeyeye

too lazy to make documentation on the code itself so here's the game mechanics

A Pokemon's HP (Health Points) determines how much damage a Pokemon can take before fainting. HP cannot go below 0 ofc. HP cannot exceed base HP (acts as Max HP).

A Pokemon's ATK stat determines the attacking power of the move it uses, the higher the better!! The minimum ATK a Pokemon can have at any time is 20. There's no maximum amount of ATK a Pokemon can have.

A Pokemon's DEF acts as damage reduction from incoming attacks. A Pokemon with high DEF might survive for longer! The stat is converted to a percentage which tells the program how much it should reduce from damage taken.

Formula: REDUCTION(Percentage) = (current DEF / 400) * 100.

NOTE: End result is rounded down.

The minimum DEF a Pokemon can have is 1. The maximum DEF a Pokemon can have is 300 (75% damage reduction).

A Pokemon's SPEED determines which Pokemon will act first. it also determines the chance of a critical hit to occur. if both Pokemon have the exact same SPEED, whichever Pokemon goes first that turn is determined by a coin flip. The minimum SPEED a Pokemon can have is 2. There's no maximum amount of SPEED a Pokemon can have.

Critical hit chance is dependant on the Pokemon's SPEED stat. Upon successful, damage dealt is doubled.

Formula: CRIT CHANCE = (current SPEED / 806) * 100.

NOTE: Some moves (Like Night Slash) have increased critical hit chance. Others (Like Flower Trick) have guaranteed critical hits.

Status Ailments affect your Mon in various ways (yay)

Burning status can be inflicted by a few Fire Type Moves

Burning deals damage equal to 1/9 of Base HP

Chance to free from Burn: 25%

Poisoned status can be inflicted by some Poison type moves!!

Poison deals damage equal to 1/10 of Base HP

Chance to free from Poison: 25%

Paralized status can be inflicted by most Electric type moves.

Paralized status has a 50% chance to paralyze the Pokemon and prevent it from using a move during that turn. it also halves the SPEED stat.

Chance to free from Paralysis: 30%

Healing over time will heal a bit of the Pokemon's HP at the end of each turn. it can only be gained with Status Moves.

HoT cures the Pokemon's HP by 1/16 of its Base HP. It will last until the Pokemon faints or its switched out.

CURRENT STAT: A Mon's current stats are their total stats. These get affected by buffs, debuffs, status ailments and so on. They get reset back to base when the Pokemon is switched out.

BASE STAT: A Mon's base stats are its initial stats and they are different for each Pokemon. Most stat calculations are pulled from base stats and they cant be changed through normal means.

Example: a +25% ATK buff is adding 25% of base ATK to current ATK.

as of right now, the dmg calculation formula is like this:

STAB = (Same Type Attack Bonus) if the type of move used is the same as the pokemon, STAB is 50% of the Pokemon's BASE ATK, otherwise it's 0.

"Special Move properties" = is what i call the stuff that makes a move special!! like giving more power under certain conditions! it doesnt always affect the ATK stat tho.

Total ATK = ATK + (Special Move properties) + STAB.

Type weakness Mult = x2 if the defending pokemon is weak to the move used, x0.5 if resistant, x1 if neutral.

Rng nonesense = random value from -10 to 10.

Crit Damage Mult = x2 if successful, x1 otherwise.

Number Of Hits = a multiplier, more hits is like attacking multiple times in the same turn. default is 1.

damage = TotalATK - (enemyDEF/400 x TotalATK) x (Type Weakness Mult) + (rng nonesense) x (Number of Hits) x (Crit Damage Mult)

NOTE: damage cannot be lower than 1.
