Pakudex

Pakudex is a Python-based application that simulates a Pokédex for fictional creatures called Pakuri. The project demonstrates key concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python, using classes to create, manage, and interact with Pakuri. Through a command-line interface (CLI), users can add new Pakuri, evolve them, view their stats, and sort their collection.

Features

• Add Pakuri: Users can add Pakuri to their collection by specifying their species.
• View Pakuri Stats: Display the stats (Attack, Defense, Speed) for each Pakuri in the Pakudex.
• Evolve Pakuri: Upgrade the stats of a selected Pakuri through evolution.
• Sort Pakuri: Sort the Pakuri collection alphabetically by species name.
• Interactive Menu: A command-line interface that allows users to interact with the Pakudex via menu-driven options.

File Structure

• pakudex.py: This file contains the Pakudex class, responsible for managing the list of Pakuri, adding new Pakuri, displaying their stats, sorting the collection, and handling evolution.
• pakuri.py: This file contains the Pakuri class, defining the individual Pakuri creatures, their attributes (species, attack, defense, speed), and their evolution logic.
• pakuri_program.py: This is the main driver program that interacts with the user through the command-line interface, providing options to add, view, sort, and evolve Pakuri.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Dilsinnam/pakudex.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd pakudex

3. Run the program:

python pakuri_program.py

How to Use

1. Upon starting the program, you will be presented with a menu to interact with the Pakudex.
2. Use the following options to manage your Pakuri collection: Add Pakuri: Enter a new species to add to the Pakudex. View Pakuri Stats: Display the stats of all Pakuri in the list. Evolve Pakuri: Choose a Pakuri to evolve and increase its stats. Sort Pakuri: Sort all Pakuri in alphabetical order. Quit: Exit the program.

Project Structure and OOP Concepts

• Classes: The project uses Python classes to encapsulate the data and functionality for Pakuri (Pakuri class) and for managing the Pakudex (Pakudex class).
• Methods: Each class contains methods that allow interaction with Pakuri attributes and the Pakudex collection (e.g., add_pakuri(), evolve_pakuri(), sort_pakuri()).
• Data Encapsulation: Pakuri stats (attack, defense, speed) are managed as private attributes and modified via class methods.
