COMP 3380 Pokemon Showdown Group Project

Quickstart

Navigate to the main directory with all files and run:

make

Immediately the code will download all relevant raw Smogon data, as keeping all of this in the repository would make it too large. The Pokemon Showdown raw data, however, is already inlcuded in the repository, as we had to manually process it. Additionally it is relatively small.

The database comes pre-populated and you can navigate around using bindings listed at the bottom of each page, using arrow or Vim keys on tables (such as j, k, h, l, g, G, ctrl+d, and ctrl+u), using 'Tab' and 'Shift+Tab' to navigate between elements on pages, or using your mouse to click on things or drag scrollbars.

Upon choose to "Repopulate", you will be met with a confirmation dialog box. Choosing "Yes" will cause deletion and repopulation to begin. You will purposefully not being able to interact with the program while this is happening. This will take about 5-6 minutes and you will know it is done when the dialog box disappears and functionality returns.

For Developers

Before running make, if you wish to have debug information, first run the following in one terminal emulator:
