Pixlemon is an game project inspired by the world of Pokémon. It aims to recreate the experience of exploring a pixelated, top-down map filled with creatures to discover and interact with. Please note that the game is still a work in progress due to the complexity of the mechanics involved in its development.
To start playing Pixlemon, simply visit this website here Pixlemon . There is no additional installation required, as the game is accessible directly through your web browser.
Once you've accessed the Pixlemon website, you can control your character using the following keyboard commands:
- W: Move up
- A: Move left
- S: Move down
- D: Move right
Use these commands to navigate the map and explore the game world.
Pixlemon currently offers the following features:
- Top-down pixelated map for exploration.
- Character movement using the WASD keys.
- Basic interaction with the game environment.
- Basic boundry system.

Throughout the development of Pixlemon, I embarked on a journey of exploration and learning. It was my first time working with JSON, and despite the initial challenges, I was determined to utilize it for handling map collisions. I must admit, it was quite a learning curve for me, but I persevered and managed to successfully incorporate JSON for the collision functionality.
I dedicated a significant amount of time to Pixlemon, constantly experimenting with new concepts and techniques. The project took longer than expected because I wanted to make sure I tried out different approaches and explored innovative ideas. This experimental mindset added to the development timeline, but it also allowed me to gain valuable experience and expand my skills.
While I made progress with the collision system, implementing battle zones using a similar approach proved to be more challenging than anticipated. I encountered unexpected obstacles along the way, which required me to reassess my strategy and explore alternative solutions.
Another new concept I delved into was working with the canvas, which provided the foundation for the game's visual presentation. I faced alot of sitbacks, particularly related to handling collisions and implementing smooth movement using the WASD keys. However, with patience and perseverance, I managed to make significant headway and achieve satisfactory results.
Given the extensive experimentation and the time-consuming nature of the project, I couldn't accomplish everything I had initially planned within the desired timeframe. However, I want to assure you that Pixlemon is a labor of love, and I am committed to continue its development. There are still outstanding tasks and features on my roadmap, and I will do my best to incorporate them in future updates.
I sincerely appreciate your understanding and support and thank you.
