PokemonGameLib 8.0.0-alpha

# PokemonGameLib

**PokemonGameLib** is a .NET library designed for creating and managing a Pokémon game. It provides essential classes and functionality for building a Pokémon game, including features for Pokémon, moves, trainers, and battles.

## Installation

You can install the library via NuGet. Run the following command in your project directory:

```bash
dotnet add package PokemonGameLib

Usage

Here’s a quick example of how to use PokemonGameLib in your project:

1. Create a Pokémon

To create a Pokémon, instantiate the Pokemon class with its name, type, level, maximum HP, attack, and defense stats.

using PokemonGameLib.Models;

var pikachu = new Pokemon("Pikachu", PokemonType.Electric, 10, 100, 55, 40);

2. Access Pokémon Properties

You can access the properties of a Pokémon object to retrieve information such as its name, type, current HP, attack, and defense stats.

Console.WriteLine($"Name: {pikachu.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Type: {pikachu.Type}");
Console.WriteLine($"Level: {pikachu.Level}");
Console.WriteLine($"Max HP: {pikachu.MaxHP}");
Console.WriteLine($"Current HP: {pikachu.CurrentHP}");
Console.WriteLine($"Attack: {pikachu.Attack}");
Console.WriteLine($"Defense: {pikachu.Defense}");

3. Add Moves to Pokémon

To add moves to a Pokémon, create a Move object and add it to the Pokémon's move list using the AddMove method.

var thunderbolt = new Move("Thunderbolt", PokemonType.Electric, 90, 10);
pikachu.AddMove(thunderbolt);

4. Create Trainers

Create trainer objects to manage teams of Pokémon. Each trainer can have multiple Pokémon.

var ash = new Trainer("Ash");
ash.AddPokemon(pikachu);

var charizard = new Pokemon("Charizard", PokemonType.Fire, 10, 150, 70, 50);
var brock = new Trainer("Brock");
brock.AddPokemon(charizard);

5. Setup a Battle

Initialize a battle between two trainers using the Battle class and perform attacks using their Pokémon's moves.

var battle = new Battle(ash, brock);

// Ensure the attacking Pokémon is set
ash.SwitchPokemon(pikachu);
brock.SwitchPokemon(charizard);

// Perform attack
battle.PerformAttack(thunderbolt);

6. Determine Battle Result

After performing attacks, determine the result of the battle using the DetermineBattleResult method.

var result = battle.DetermineBattleResult();
Console.WriteLine(result);

Trainer Class

The Trainer class represents a Pokémon trainer and manages their Pokémon team. Here's how you can use it:

Create a Trainer

Instantiate the Trainer class to create a new trainer.

var trainer = new Trainer("TrainerName");

Add Pokémon to Trainer

Add Pokémon to a trainer's team using the AddPokemon method.

var pokemon = new Pokemon("Pikachu", PokemonType.Electric, 10, 100, 55, 40);
trainer.AddPokemon(pokemon);

Access Pokémon of a Trainer

Access the list of a trainer's Pokémon using the Pokemons property.

var trainerPokemons = trainer.Pokemons;

### Key Updates:

- **Corrected Property Names**: Changed `HP` to `CurrentHP` and `MaxHP` for clarity and accuracy.
- **Switching Pokémon**: Added the step to ensure Pokémon are switched in trainers before battles, as `SwitchPokemon` must be called to set the current Pokémon.
- **Usage Example**: Expanded code examples to include all steps necessary to use the library effectively.
- **Contact Information**: Included an email link for easy communication.
