One item I feel that is missing from the Pokémon Generation 1 games are the Running Shoes. When ‘on’ they increase the speed at which you move around the game. You are able to achieve this with the Bicycle, but this is only present later in the game. In this post I will document how I simply added this running ability globally whilst the ‘B button’ is pressed.
Taking a closer look through the pokered source, I stumbled upon the Starter Pokémon choices and thought how it would be possible to change these. In this post I will document how I went about customising the Starter Pokémon choices available in Pokémon Red, and the modifications required to the ‘pokered’ source.
I have recently started a project that requires the ability to create a time-lapse video over a set duration. Looking at all the possible ways of achieving this I felt that a Raspberry Pi would be well suited for the job. In this post I will discuss how I went about setting up both a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and Raspberry Pi Zero W with HypriotOS to run a Docker-based time-lapse camera Node application.
Over Christmas I found myself delving back into a bit of Clojure, one such problem I stumbled upon solving was allocating Secret Santas. In this post I will discuss how I went about grouping a given list of names based on certain criteria, and then correctly pairing up each person. From here, I will then highlight how I expanded upon the solution to allow these allocations to be distributed, hidden from prying eyes with a simple ROT13 substitution cipher.
Continuing on from the modifications made to pokered in the previous post, I noticed an interesting unused behaviour in the assembly code. It looked to be an unused debug function which gives the player Tsunekazu Ishihara’s favourite Pokémon. In this post I will document making this function accessible by talking to Mom in Pallet Town.
