# Crystal Battle Simulator

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/@radnyx%2Fcrystal.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/@radnyx%2Fcrystal)

![Simulator in action!](https://i.imgur.com/BlcxUHm.gif)

This is a playable browser simulation of the Pokemon Cystal battle engine.

This uses [modular Pokemon Showdown](https://github.com/pkmn/ps) as the backend and [PIXI.js](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs) for rendering.

The battle experience is mostly complete. Not all moves are finished and items aren't supported yet.

## Quick start ##

```bash
npm install
```

### Battle demo ###

```bash
cd demo/menus
npm run dev
```

Visit `localhost:8001/menus.html` to play a battle.

npm run dev
```
