A Little Help For a Noob and a Big Fan

Open kduffy11224 opened this issue 3 years ago • 25 comments

Hi! So my coworkers and I have been using your herokuapp website for about 2 years now. We use it to settle who is paying for lunch, who pays at the vending machine, and just to battle each other to see who can make the best team. The AI is so ingrained in our brains that we know the meta for each generation available. Needless to say we are saddened to see the website go down, but you are kind enough to provide a way to run it.

Now I have never coded a day in my life and I am STRUGGLING to get this thing running. Is there anyway you can point me in the right direction? Is there an easy way to get this set up that im too dumb to see? I know this is a big ask, but that alone should show you how important this AI has been for me and my friends.

Best wishes

I loved this website too, I'll try getting it working again.

EDIT 3: Yo man, look at this progress! (hope you won't forget about this issue 😬) Screenshot_20221204_201134

EDIT 2: Ok ok, so I don't feel like paying for servers, but I can make it into an app (Android only, no iOS, sorry)

EDIT 1: got it working in a terminal, i'll look into making it work online image

@GamingasCZ You are a GOD amongst men! Thank you so much! You have the gratitude of 4 grown men on Long Island!

@GamingasCZ Thanks for keeping this silly little project alive! =D

@fonse THE CREATOR HAS SPOKEN! Honest to god, me and my friends have spoken about NOTHING but getting this running again. I don't think you fully understand the scope of just how much your "silly little project" has rocked our job for the last 2 years. Thank you for creating this gem and thank you to @GamingasCZ for his efforts in bringing it back to life for us. Lord knows I would have fried my laptop trying to even understand how all this stuff works hahaha

kduffy11224 avatar Dec 08 '22 20:12 kduffy11224

Download the apk file (above the source code zip files, you don't need those).

GamingasCZ avatar Dec 08 '22 20:12 GamingasCZ

working great thank you!!!! only "Bug" we've seen so far is when you search a Pokemon by name you will only find it if you dont include the first letter of its name

kduffy11224 avatar Dec 08 '22 22:12 kduffy11224

Yoyo, it's been a while and I have no idea if you guys are still enjoying the app, but... I had an update in the works and I never finished it. It adds stuff like viewing stats, favorites, teams and customizing moves.

lmk if you'd like to see it finished :). showcase

GamingasCZ avatar Aug 19 '23 16:08 GamingasCZ

Yes! We still play it everyday! We were just discussing this and we would like to send you an amazon gift card or something because we always use your app and you brought it back to life for us! Complete strangers! Let us know what email we can send it to!

GamingasCZ avatar Oct 06 '23 20:10 GamingasCZ

I did sorry, I realized I should probably drop a message here first 😛 Been hiding in the shadows a long time. I don't even know when I subscribed to this thread but I'm glad I did. Was using the website for a long while.
