  • Petdex Encyclopedia - All available pets with stats, types, evolution info
  • Discovery Progress - Species completion tracking and statistics
  • Gym Badge Display - Victory history with dates and difficulty levels
  • Mobile-Responsive Design - Works on all devices

Database & Backend

🔄 Current Todo List

Planned Next Features (In Priority Order)

Phase 1: Pet Nicknames System COMPLETED

  • Database Schema - Add nickname column to player_pets table
  • IRC Commands - Add !nickname <pet_id> command
  • Web Interface - Display nicknames on player profiles
  • Validation - Ensure appropriate nickname length/content limits

Phase 2: Team Builder Tool (Secure PIN System) COMPLETED

  • Web Team Editor - Interface for modifying pet teams
  • PIN Generation - Create unique verification codes for each request
  • Temporary Storage - Hold pending team changes until PIN validation
  • IRC PIN Delivery - PM verification codes to players
  • PIN Validation - Web form to enter and confirm codes
  • Database Updates - Apply team changes only after successful PIN verification
  • Security Cleanup - Clear expired PINs and pending requests

Secure Technical Flow:

Web: Save Team → Generate PIN → Store Pending Changes → IRC: PM PIN
                                       ↓
Web: Enter PIN → Validate PIN → Apply Database Changes → Clear Request

Critical: No database changes until PIN verification succeeds

Phase 3: Auto-Battle Mode

  • Auto-Battle Logic - Automated pet combat in current location
  • PM Notifications - Send results to player via private message
  • Flood Control - 5-second delays between battles, wins/losses only
  • Stop Mechanism - Commands to start/stop auto-battle mode

Low Priority

  • Enhanced Petdex Filtering - Add search by type, evolution chains, rarity filters

🐛 Known Issues & Bugs

Current Issues - CRITICAL

  • Team Builder Auto-Move - Active pets get moved to storage on page load automatically
  • Save Button Not Working - Team builder save returns 501 "not implemented" error
  • Experience Not Saving - Pet EXP doesn't persist or isn't visible in profiles
  • Achievement Travel Bug - Players can't travel despite having achievements until catching a pet
  • Team Builder Save Auth - PIN verification system not implemented in handlers

Current Issues - HIGH PRIORITY

  • Item Spawn Rate - Items too common, need lower spawn rates
  • Location Wild Pets - Same pets listed multiple times, broken "+(number) more" button
  • Petdex Accuracy - Missing types in summary, showing pet instances instead of locations
  • Pet Spawns Logic - Common pets should spawn in most compatible locations
  • Missing Database Tables - No species_moves table for move learning system

Current Issues - MEDIUM PRIORITY

  • Team Command Navigation - !team should link to web team page instead of IRC output
  • Pet Rename UX - Should be done via team builder with edit buttons + PIN auth
  • Max Team Size - Need to implement and enforce team size limits

Recently Fixed

  • Player Profile Crash - Fixed 'int' object has no attribute 'split' error
  • Battle System Syntax - Resolved indentation issues in gym battle completion
  • Encounter Data Mapping - Corrected SQL column indices
  • Team Builder Drag-Drop - Fixed drag and drop functionality with backup double-click
