Tamagotchi Generation

[sneakyhobbitses]

As a user I should be able to generate a starter tamagotchi that pulls from a small pool of images.

This could be done with a prompt or questions or could be fully random.

right now i'm thinking of doing a few cute lil gift boxes, & the user will receive a different tama depending on which box is selected.

I like that plan, that keeps it fairly simple. Do you think it should be deterministic?

[sneakyhobbitses]

for simplicity's sake i think it should be.... but on the other hand maybe i push myself to randomize it?

[kulanah]

try googling "javascript random number".

I also don't think there's anything wrong with starting deterministic and later evolving it to random. Or even keeping it to one for now.

for now i've decided to just use one pet - on click the user can now get a smol pink whale from the egg

• [ ] one pet
• [ ] four pets w. specific egg = specific pet
• [ ] one egg = one of four random pets

could store gifs of babbeys in an array, and on click a random babbey is born using math.random ???????
