So we have an HP 'shadow' that appears to show how much HP you've lost. The change here is that the 'shadow' now updates at the beginning of the next turn, rather than the end of the current turn. The main upshot is that you can now see the previous turn's HP and how much you've lost this turn, while you make your decision for the next turn.
Pokemon Showdown Client
This is a repository for some of the client code for Pokemon Showdown.
This is what runs play.pokemonshowdown.com.
WARNING: You probably want the Pokemon Showdown server.
Testing
You can make and test client changes simply by opening testclient.html.
This will allow you to test changes to the client without setting up your
own login server.
You can connect to an arbitrary server by navigating to
testclient.html?~~host:port. For example, to connect to a server running
locally on port 8000, you can navigate to testclient.html?~~localhost:8000.
Certain things will fail:
- Registering
- Changing name to a registered name other than the one you are currently logged in with (however, changing to an unregistered name will work, and you can even change back to your original registered name afterward)
- The ladder tab
- The
/laddercommand
Everything else can be tested, though.
Warning
This repository is not "batteries included". It does NOT include everything necessary to run a full Pokemon Showdown client.
In particular, it doesn't include a login/authentication server, nor does it
include the database abstraction library used by the ladder library (although
it's similar enough to mysqli that you can use that with minimal changes).
It also doesn't include several resource files (namely, the /audio/ and
/sprites/ directories) for size reasons.
In other words, this repository is incomplete and NOT intended for people who wish to serve their own Pokemon Showdown client (you can, but it'll require you to rewrite some things). Rather, it's intended for people who wish to contribute and submit pull requests to Pokemon Showdown's client.
License
Pokemon Showdown's client is distributed under the terms of the AGPLv3.
WARNING: This is NOT the same license as Pokemon Showdown's server.
