Build a Tamagotchi
What is a tamagotchi? According to wikipedia, the name is a portmanteau combining the Japanese word tamago (たまご), which means "egg", and the English word "watch". Most Tamagotchi characters' names end in tchi (っち) in Japanese, with few exceptions.
A tamagotchi has a few properties:
/*
- name
- weight
- age
- birthday
- description
- hungerLevel
- happinessLevel
- attentionLevel
- lifeStage // Baby, Child, Teen, and Adult
/*A few states:
/*
- isHungry
- wantsToPlay
- isHappy
- needsAttention
*/And a few behaviors:
eat() {
/* feeding should satisfy hunger, depending on what you feed it, and may increase weight
grass, meat, tofu, bread, candy, etc…
*/
}
speak() {
/* what needs does your tamagotchi have? */
}
play() {
/* playing with your tamagotchi should increase happiness, satisfy need for attention, and may decrease weight */
}Usage:
tamagotchi.age // 0
tamagotchi.birthday // today's date
tamagotchi.weight // 1
tamagotchi.description // 'A <lifeStage> tamagotchi named <name> born on <birthday> weighing <weight>'
tamagotchi.speak() // 'Mesutchi is <some state>'Bonus:

*/Methods:
