# termagotchi

Terminal-based Tamagotchi in Rust

## Description

For you zoomer millenials out there, a [tamagotchi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi) is a little device from back in the 90s that looked like a small egg with a screen and about three buttons. On the screen you had a virtual pet and you had to take care of it or it would die...

I made this as my first Rust project to see how the language works and stuff.

![Termagotchit](screenshot1.png?raw=true "Termagotchi")

## Running

Right now this uses emojis so you'll need a terminal emulator that supports unicode.

Basically just `cargo run` and it will resize your terminal.

`Q` to quit. Other keys are on screen.

```

Command line arguments

Options:

  -n, --new-game    start a new game.

  --help            display usage information

```

## TODO

- Add actual pet art (ASCII probably) and animate it?

- Write tests (heh...)

- Maybe refactor stuff to make it more Rust-y

## Contribution

This is a beginner-friendly project so if you would like to add some features or fixes to it while you're learning Rust, or you REALLY like tamagotchi (uhh...) then feel free to make a PR.
