DIY Digivice

[ancient horizon]

Hello all, first time posting. Hope I'm putting this in the right place, apologies if not!

I have always wanted a digivice which would have DemiDevimon as my partner. Love the V-pets but I can never get it to evolve past the computer evolution rolls eyes.

So, I bought a bunch of components and decided to do it myself. I am using a Pico Lipo, Adafruit accelerometer MSA311 and a 1.12" 128*128 Mono OLED display.

I have no coding experience but with the help of Chat GPT I have made a good bit of progress. I have been working away on it for the last 6 hours and I'm quite proud of my progress so far 😄

I plan for it to be quite expansive having evolution and devolutions depending of hunger, battle losses etc. If the digimon is beaten terribly by a much stronger digimon I intend it to revert to egg.

For the baby into in-training I want to have it digivolve after a few hundred steps, the in-training will digivolve to rookie when the first battle occurs. My video show the basic evolution after a few steps using the current sprites I've adapted from digivices and V-pets.

If I get it, fully, up and running, I will happily share the code with folk so they can sub in their own images of their own chosen partners and build their own digivice.

Well over a year later a lot of learning a lot of revisions... I think I am finished. Just some finishing touches adding more Digimon and improving the touch. I am tempted to add a nemesis system but I am already pushing the memory to the brink.

Basic steps evolution for the baby. In training needs food

SHINKA!

@ancient horizon has evolved into Baby I!

Not sure if it's appropriate for double messages but here's the battle mechs with evolution

[ancient horizon]

Got an opportunity to capture the death evolution today. It will only happen once and it requires my Digimon to be on the devimon or the icedevimon line and the outcome must have involved a bad enough beating which would revert my Digimon to the egg. In this situation there is a death evolution to skullsatamon.

If my Digimon is devidramon or any of the other evolutions then he would have died and reverted to egg. The benefit of death in this way is that it leaves your unlocked lines open when you die allowing you digivolve into them via the digivice but it resets the evolution criteria so that you can meet the criteria to go down a new evolutionary line. I have three lines:

devimon - neodevimon - donedevimon
Icedevimon - marinedevimon - cthyllamon
Devidramon - helloogarmon - belphemon

All ultimates need the crest and tag to digivolve with exception of Skullsatamon. Skullsatamon can digivolve into Beelzemon.

Abandoned demiD for too long tonight. He let me know.

I am happy to make the code I currently have availabile for anyone who wants it but need advice on where to put it and you Will need to do your own images as they're copyrighted so I can't include them

[ancient horizon]

Treated demiD poorly he was a bit cold when he digivolved but he still did it to protect me

[stone wadi]

I'm working on one.

[fervent merlin]

I would really be interested in seeing the code. Possibly github?

[ancient horizon]

They banned my account because I was working on the code using copilot on VS code but apparently I wasn't allowed to do that without actively collaborating with others. I will see if I can set up a new account and add it.

[ancient horizon]

This looks cool how are you getting on with it?

[fervent merlin]

You can also do a Google drive? And that sucks man.

[ancient horizon]

Google drive could be a shout! I will look into that tomorrow.

Yeah, I was gutted. I hadn't realised that was part of the terms of use. A lesson in reading these things 😅

[fervent merlin]

True lol! And heck yeah!

[ancient horizon]

Set up a new github. Here you go:
https://github.com/Teraumbra/digivice

As mentioned above because I "borrowed" the VB images I have not included them to try and ensure it doesn't get removed.

[fervent merlin]

Sounds good thank you so much!

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @ancient horizon (current: #679 - 1)

[ancient horizon]

No worries at all. If you have any feedback let me know 🙂

Got the bambu lab a1 for printing and it's been amazing. Sadly... It's led to me collecting my own project hahaha

[tardy lance]

This looks so cool! The bigger sprites look so nice 👌

[clever hill]

how do i go about using the github files to play this? im hoping to get it going on my galaxy watch

[gilded garden]

This project is amazing.

[ancient horizon]

Thanks everyone. Really proud of the progress. I am pretty sure I'm finsihed. I've tried to honour the original digivice toys so there is map areas and you go through the maps by walking. I haven't implemented it yet but I will have once all map areas are cleared you will be able to revisit any area you want. I need to update the project on github, then I will also see if I can add my STLs for the print. After that I will try and give instructions for equipment and setting up. It's a bit tedious but anyone with any coding knowhow will be able to adapt as they go. I've tried to put as much comments in the code as possible to allow everyone to see my logic.

[ancient horizon]

This was my first time coding. I really don't know how compatible circuit python code is with galaxy apps. But if you do get that up and running let me know because I definitely want it on my watch 😅

SHINKA!

@ancient horizon has evolved into Baby II!
