Voltorb Flip

Created a shitty little helper / solver for the Voltorb Flip mini-game in Pokemon Heart Gold / Pokemon Soul Silver.

Open Source?

It's a helpful tool, but it takes a while to set up, isn't especially eye-pleasing, and still has a bug or two; I noticed that sometimes it doesn't mark tiles as 'same danger' when there were already two question marks on the board, but it might've been prioritizing reward, and I just didn't pay attention to the points. Given that it was a "shitty little" project, though, it works remarkably well, and helped me drag myself through the last 10,000 points I needed to finish a team. ^^


Are you planning on making the code public? I started working on a calculator when I got HeartGold, but I didn't have any way to distribute it at the time, so I dropped the project pretty quickly. I don't know if I can speak for others, but I'd be really interested to see how you implemented it; if for no other reason, so that I can compare notes and try to improve my win-loss ratio a bit. ^^



I suppose

Yeah I suppose I can upload it. I only spent like, 3 hours doing it, WHILE I was at work...so yeah, ahaha.


It was my first time programming in php, and it is really messy. I lost interest in it after second day and haven't touched it since.


I am sure that there are many improvements that can be made, and others have made improvements with other applications that you can download.


There was this next step that I remember thinking about to improve the flip helper, but it was something I didn't want to do in php and at the time I didn't really care enough to do it anyway ahaha.


I'll post it later when I have a bit more time.
