A microscopic Tamagotchi implementation that features the following.
- Thread synchronisation, with some tricks to avoid thread issues, such as implementing ICloneable, etc.
- State machines
- Design patterns (mostly Singleton, which isn't the best design pattern arguably, but relevant for this little thing)
- Etc ...
The actual Tamagotchi library (important parts), are implemented as a .Net Standard library, while the "GUI" is a simple .Net Core 3.0 Console Application.
Should build easily with .Net Core CLI (Command Line Interface) by using e.g. dotnet run or something equivalent, even
though I personally use Visual Studio for Mac OS X myself.
Compile, run, and follow the instructions on the screen. Pressing 1-6 to interact with the Tamagotchi. There is a
System.Threading.Timer that is invoked every 5 seconds, slowly increamenting the parameters of the internally kept
Tamagotchi instance, which implies the Tamagotchi will die by itself if not interacted with for a couple of minutes.
Keep all the parameters of your Tamagotchi below 100. Once any of these reaches 100, the Tamagotchi dies!
