Inspiration
We wanted to play competitive Pokemon on the go. We targeted Android and Pebble watches.
What it does
It's a client for Pokemon Showdown, a free online simulator for competitive Pokemon. This client only plays random battles against random people.
How I built it
Pebble: Pebble.js and Websockets Android: Java and Websockets
Challenges I ran into
Pebble.js is a nascent technology, so I had to dig through documentation to find what I wanted. Also the resources on the Pebble were limited, so websockets made the watch lag, and sprites took up a lot of space. Therefore, we omitted a lot of features from the Pebble app. Given more time, we would've found a way to cope with these limitations.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I now have experience with making Pebble apps. This one was particularly ambitious, but I think I have other, simpler ideas that I want to make Pebble apps out of.
What I learned
How to read documentation well.
What's next for PokePebble
Polishing both the Pebble and Android apps.
