A command line, realtime, community plant buddy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You've been given a seed that will grow into a beautiful plant.
|
|
|
|
|
Check in and water your plant every 24h to keep it growing. 5 days without water = death. Your plant depends on you to live!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*(work in progress)*

|
## getting started
|
|
|
|
|
botany is designed for unix-based systems. Clone into a local directory using
|
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/jifunks/botany.git`. Run with `python
|
|
|
|
|
botany.py`. Water your seed to get started. You can come and go as you please
|
|
|
|
|
and your plant continues to grow. Make sure to come back and water every 24 hours or your plant won't grow.
|
|
|
|
|
If your plant goes 5 days without water, it will die!
|
|
