How it works? 💼

So I only use a graphics library called ncurses that the main engine behind at all, so after initialize everything every input that the player makes we capture and see if a event has occurred, so if the player is standing in a grass tile ("w") we just calculate a random factor that says if a wild mon wants to battle. In the battle we transfer the control to a new function that handles all the events that can happen (like using a move, or changing the mons order). The battle also can occur when the player enter a trainer sight then again we transfer the control and make the same process. Other things like seeing a item info are just a while loop that display the info while the input are to not close, seems simple but using such a library that have even simplier functions is difficult

How to install 🚀

• Be sure to have ncurses installed

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

• On windows if you use MingW64 or MSYS you are very likely to already have it
