The Pokedex generates ascii art of all Pokemon that are searched. If you're on MacOS, there's also some neat goofy voice action!


Use:

- This isn't compiled so you will need to have Golang 1.18 (required due to file embedding feature).

- Run go mod download after a fresh pull and Go version update.

- This project can be compiled by either building a binary ("go build main.go") or by running the entry point file ("go run main.go").

- Can be run completely from keyboard inputs. Entering "no" at anytime will exit the program.

I used the PokéAPI for looking up Pokemon in this project. 

It's pretty neat so if you're interested, check that out over at https://pokeapi.co/

The ascii art code is a reimplementation of the "convert" package developed by Qeesung as a part of "Image2Ascii" over at https://github.com/qeesung/image2ascii

The UI framework is Ebitengine, check it out over at https://ebiten.org/

UPDATE:

- Implemented a Pokedex UI.

- Colorization of ascii art in the Pokedex was lost due to text only supporting one color at a time instead of rgb values per character.

- The ascii code still supports colorization. Converting back to an image was explored, but still lost color.
