# Rewtromon
---
---
**Rewtromon** is a Rewtro game that loads 2 creatures QR-Cards and let them auto-battle. The creature graphics, sounds, and moves data are stored in the QR-Card itself. There is no monsters database so you can freely ~~hack~~ create and share your Rewtromon creatures and share them as you want!
It can be used as a sample if you want to learn how to load QR data within a Rewtro game.
## Rewtrodex
These are the _official_ Rewtromon creatures stats. You can find their JSON files in the [carts](carts/) directory.
| File | ID | Name | Type | Move 1 | Move 2 | Move 3 | Move 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [JSON](carts/K-010-RWM-001-stampadian.json) | 001 | STAMPADIAN | `E` Earth | Tree Slice (10dmg / `T` 15dmg) | Cross Out (10dmg / `F` 5dmg) | Eraser (10dmg) | Reroll (+5HP) |
| [JSON](carts/K-010-RWM-002-rogue.json)| 002 | ROGUE | `T` Thunder | Bolt Bubble (10dmg / `W` 15dmg) | Pierce (10dmg / `E` 5dmg) | Waterfall (5dmg) | Snack (+10HP) |
| [JSON](carts/K-010-RWM-003-jin.json)| 003 | JIN | `W` Water | Splash (10dmg / `F` 15dmg) | Wave (10dmg / `T` 5dmg) | Squid Bump (15dmg) | Sadness (Nothing) |
| [JSON](carts/K-010-RWM-004-datamapsi.json)| 004 | DATAMAPS-I | `F` Fire | Burning Lie (10dmg / `E` 15dmg) | Burnt Proof (10dmg / `W` 5dmg) | False Truth (10dmg) | Plan (+5HP) |
## Rewtromon format
Rewtromon creatures are basically Rewtro carts with `RWM` header containing a single scene. To set the cart header, set `"metadata": { "cartPrefix": "RWM" }` in your QR-Cart JSON file.
```
"metadata": {
"title": "RWM001 - Stampadian",
"cartPrefix": "RWM",
"cardTitle": "Stampadian",
"cardNumber": "001",
"cardNote": "Play with Rewtromon!"
}
```
### Sounds
The creature sounds in the standard Rewtro sound format. Sound `1` is the creature verse and IDs `3`, `4`, `5`, `6` are the matching moves sounds.
```
{
"id": "1",
"wave": "breaker",
"attack": 43,
"sustain": 127,
"decay": 127,
"release": 127,
"frequencyJump1onset": 76,
"frequencyJump1amount": 155,
"frequencyJump2onset": 209,
"frequencyJump2amount": 104
}
```
### Images
The single `graphics` image includes the whole creature spritesheet. You can find a GIMP source model [here](carts/graphics/sources/rewtromon.xcf). I suggest you to use the `monocolor` format as it uses less bytes.
```
{
"id": "graphics",
"image": {
"data": {
"_file": "graphics/rewtromon/001-stampadian.png"
},
"format": "monocolor"
}
}
```
### Sprites
The creature name is in the `A` and `1` sprites. Customizable values are:
| Attribute | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
|`text`| The uppercase creature name | `"STAMPADIAN"` |
```
{
"id": "A",
"textColor": 1,
"text": "STAMPADIAN",
"x": 0,
"y": 0,
"width": 160
},
{
"id": "1",
"textColor": 1,
"text": "STAMPADIAN",
"x": 80,
"y": 64,
"width": 160
}
```
The creature sprites are `B` (back facing) and `2` (front facing). The sprites in the example are usually OK for any creature - just set the its type in both sprites `value1`.
| Attribute | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
|`value1`| The creature type (`1` for Earth, `2` for Thunder, `3` for Water, `4` for Fire) | `1` |
```
{
"id": "B",
"graphicsX": 0,
"graphicsY": 60,
"x": 104,
"y": 16,
"width": 32,
"height": 20,
"scale": 2,
"value0": 2,
"value1": 1
},
{
"id": "2",
"graphicsX": 0,
"graphicsY": 40,
"x": 24,
"y": 74,
"width": 32,
"height": 20,
"scale": 2,
"value0": 4,
"value1": 1
}
```
The creature moves are sprites `3`, `4`, `5`, and `6`. Customizable values are:
| Attribute | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
|`animations`| The move animation, if any | _See Rewtro sprites documentation_ |
|`animation`| The move animation ID to be played | _See Rewtro sprites documentation_ |
|`value0`| `0` targets the enemy (i.e., attacking), `1` targets itself (i.e., healing) | `0` |
|`value1`| Target shake animation duration in (1 = 2 frames). Use 0-26 even numbers | `5` |
|`value2`| Health change (negative for attacking, positive for healing) | `-5` |
|`value3`| Target element for using special health change instead (`0` for no special health change, `1` for Earth, `2` for Thunder, `3` for Water, `4` for Fire) | `1` |
|`value4`| Special health change (negative for attacking, positive for healing) | `-10` |
|`value5`| Text displayed when the move is performed. The creature name is automatically prepended | `"PACKS A~PUNCH!"` |

### Testing
You can test your creature sounds and animations temporarily adding these `tilemaps` and `code` sections to your cart JSON. Remember to remove them before finalizing it!
```

### Creating the QR-Card
Once you're happy with your creature JSON file, place it in the `carts/` directory, open the SDK page, select _QR-Card: Default_ format from the combo box, and hit the print icon on your creature JSON file. It will download the card `SVG` file to be opened, pimped, and printed with your favorite SVG editor (I suggest you [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/)).
Make sure to have the the [Jost](https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) free font (Jost-500-Medium.otf) installed.
