# DUNGEON GUIDE
A quest to implement the most brutal math in all of D&D, the computation of
monster challenge rating (CR), into a single, time-saving application. This is
a CLI application aimed for managing monsters and computing their CR so that
lazy DMs everywhere can vet their homebrew monsters and validate third-party
party killers.
This project aims to use the YAML format for storing monster data and
information. The reason for that is that a) I adore YAML as of the time of this
writing, and b) it seems the most flexible and human readable/writable format
around. (As an aside, YAML can also be fed into Pandoc to generate PDFs and HTML
documents, so I can create pretty monster stat-blocks down the line).
## The Grand Design
The idea behind this application is mostly to help me as a game master and
player. I'm really bad at balancing things and remembering stats, so the idea
here is to create a system that automates balance checking and statblock output
so that I don't make the same mistakes I've made in the past (and boy are there
a lot of those).
## Getting Started
To get started, make sure that you have the following installed:
- Python 3.7+
- The most recent version of Pip
Then follow these simple steps:
1. Clone this project.
2. Use `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install the third-party packages
this project uses.
And you're ready to go!
