Remember Tamagotchis? Well now they are back! Only updated for the modern age! Raise your new Web-agotchi in your browser, on your phone, on your tablet, wherever you are! Just be sure to make sure it's ready for your day! Your web pet will have needs based on the weather, so if it's going to rain, make sure you've given it an umbrella, or if it's going to be hot out make sure you've given it plenty of water! Will your webagotchi be your new best friend?
You will need to purchase food to feed your webagotchi, toys to play with your webagotchi, and books to read to your webagotchi. Eventually, you will need to purchase equipment for the adventures you will go on with your Webagotchi. Be sure to check in on your Webagotchi, as over time it will want to spend more time with you!
Will you care enough for your Webatochi to see it come out of its shell and see the bright world it lives in?
To run a local version of Webagotchi, pull either the main branch, or you may pull any of the available testing branches to try out the latest features before they are released into the main branch. You can then start the built-in local server for Webagotchi using the following:
npm start
Your new virtual friend will be accesible at the link provided in the terminal.
By default, Webagotchi will try to start on port 5000. This can be changed by either passing the --port argument, or -p, followed by a port number, or by creating a config.json file in the root folder of the project directory, with the "port" key.
