# OpenPet

Virtual pet game. Each user gets one pet, tracked by `{platform}_{userId}`.

## State

Pets stored in `tamagotchi/pets/{platform}_{userId}.json`:

```json
{
  "name": "Blobby",
  "species": "blob",
  "hunger": 30,
  "happiness": 70,
  "energy": 50,
  "age": 5,
  "born": "2026-02-01T12:00:00Z",
  "lastUpdate": 1738442780000,
  "alive": true,
  "evolution": 1,
  "totalFeedings": 12,
  "totalPlays": 8,
  "ownerId": "202739061796896768",
  "platform": "discord",
  "ownerName": "mattzap"
}
```

Create `tamagotchi/pets/` directory if missing.

## Commands

| Trigger | Action |
|---------|--------|
| `pet`, `pet status` | Show stats + ASCII art |
| `feed pet` | hunger -30, happiness +5 |
| `play with pet` | happiness +25, energy -20 |
| `pet sleep` | energy +40, happiness +5 |
| `name pet [name]` | Set pet name |
| `new pet` | Reset (only if dead or confirm) |
| `pet help` | Show commands |

## New User Flow

1. Any pet command from unknown user → create egg
2. First interaction → hatch to blob
3. Show welcome message + commands

## Stats Display

```

 ❤️ Happiness: ████████░░░░  70%
 🍖 Hunger:    ███░░░░░░░░░  30%
 ⚡ Energy:    █████░░░░░░░  50%
```

Use sprites from `references/sprites.json`. Mood = happy (≥70), neutral (40-69), sad (<40).

## Evolution

| Stage | Requirement |
|-------|-------------|
| egg → blob | First interaction |
| blob → cat | age ≥10, feedings ≥15, plays ≥10 |
| cat → dragon | age ≥30, feedings ≥50, plays ≥40 |

Check evolution after each interaction. Announce with fanfare.

## Death

Pet dies if: `hunger ≥ 100` OR `happiness ≤ 0`

**BUT** if `immortalMode: true` in config, pets don't die — they just get very sad and hungry. Stats cap at 99/1 instead of triggering death. Default is immortal mode ON.

Show memorial (if death enabled), offer `new pet` to restart.

## Decay (Cron)

Set up cron job `openpet-tick` every 2 hours:
- hunger +15, happiness -10, energy -5
- Clamp all stats 0-100
- Check death conditions
- Alert owner if critical (hunger >80 or happiness <20)
- Increment age daily

## Platform Detection

Extract from message context:
- Discord: `discord_{userId}`
- WhatsApp: `whatsapp_{phoneNumber}`
- Telegram: `telegram_{chatId}`
- Signal: `signal_{uuid}`

## Alerts

Send to user's origin platform when:
- Pet is hungry (>80): "🍖 {name} is starving!"
- Pet is sad (<20): "😢 {name} misses you!"
- Pet died: "💀 {name} has passed away..."
- Evolution: "✨ {name} evolved into a {species}!"
