This repository contains the recipes for some element alchemy games. It also has a CLI to facilitate looking up recipes and usages of an item.

What is an element alchemy game?

An element alchemy game (later EAG) is a game where you start of with the four natural elements (air, fire, water and earth) and combine them in order to form other elements. For example: earth + fire = lava. Example of an EAG

How do I select what game I want to use?

First, determine what the reverse domain of the app is (Example: com.sometimeswefly.littlealchemy) and check if it is available by checking if it is in the JSONrecipes directory. If so, run

./cheat.py JSONrecipes/<reverse domain>.json

(Example: ./cheat.py JSONrecipes/com.sometimeswefly.littlealchemy.json)

If there is no recipe file for your game yet, please submit an issue or PR.

How do I interact with the CLI? What are the available commands?

Type help to see a list of available commands.

I hate typing!

Uh, okay... Tab-completion for names is available, and most commands are aliased to their first letter.

How did you obtain the JSON recipe files?

Read my blog post (TL;DR: I reverse engineered the apps and extracted the recipes from the decompiled sources)

How are recipe files structured?

item_ids are always positive integers, names are always lowercase strings. A recipe is a dictionary with two keys: ingredients and results. Those keys contain a list of item_ids. The order of the item_ids doesn't matter.

The JSON file has two keys: recipes (a list of recipes) and names (a dictionary that maps names to item_ids)
