PROJECT YAML

PROJECT Y.A.M.L. started as a prototype to test what I could do with the C# engine FlatRedBall2. I used Clear Code's Pygame-CE tutorial as a starting point and remade the game in C#, letting FlatRedBall2 handle most of the boilerplate. Given FlatRedBall's 20-year development history and the brand-new second iteration of the engine, it was a great chance to learn how to build modular systems. It runs right in your browser, no install needed.

If you run the game on a Firefox browser the loading screen can be a bit longer compared to running the game on a Chromium browser, do keep this in mind when running into this.

Developed with C# and FlatRedBall2, with heavy use of test-driven development to keep the code clean and ready for bigger projects. Assets are used from Scarloxy, Moana Prinz check their asset packs out on Itch.

Features:

• Turn-based battles with the classic triangle: Fire beats Plant, Water beats Fire, Plant beats Water. 
• Custom battle logic inspired on modern OOP principles (Christopher's Okhravi): effects, conditions, moves, and stats are composed from small, reusable interfaces instead of baked into monolithic classes. 
• 16 monster species to spy (and battle) across evolution chains and level-up moves, all data-driven via JSON. 
• Sneaky trainers that chase you down with line-of-sight (using Raycast) and a basic dialog system included. 
• Monster Bestiary, pause menu, and audio sliders for the music you'll hear
• Pixel art everywhere: monsters, attacks, and effects brought to life with the FlatRedBall2's stand alone Animation Editor, plus UI built with Gum. 
• Custom audio mixer with context-based music and SFX ducking
