Shuffle Move Helper

A program to identify the screenshot and generate corresponding configuration file used by Shuffle-Move.

Installation

You should have c++ compiler(xcode, gcc or VS) and CMAKE installed on your computer.

1. Install OpenCV

   • Windows：download win pack and install
   • Mac: brew install opencv
   • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

2. Build the ShuffleMoveHelper

   • Mac&Ubuntu:

     mkdir build
     cd build
     cmake ..
     make -j4

   • Windows(more complicate...):

     Use CMAKE to build, remember to set the OpenCV_DIR in CMakeLists.txt

Instructions

After building the program, you will see adjustBoundary and ShuffleMoveHelper.

1. First, we should manually set the position and the size of the game board by adjustBoundary. But you could skip this step if the size of your screenshot is exactly the same as mine listed in the folder sample.

   • Launch the program in terminal ./adjustBoundary ../sample/screen.jpeg and click the center of the first and the last pokemon. Their coordinate will be shown meanwhile. Press any key to exit and the parameters will be saved in config.txt.

     

   • Verify the result by command ./adjustBoundary ../sample/screen.jpeg 1. The only difference is we add a second parameter. Then we can see the red bounding boxes are evenly distributed. You also can manually edit the config.txt and then rerun this program to improve the accuracy of our identification.

     

   • The parameters in config.txt is topLeft.x, topLeft.y, bottomRight.x, bottomRight.y, half size of the bounding box

2. Now, it's time to identify the sceenshot!

   • Upload the sceenshot to PC
   • Open Shuffle-Move, select Stage and your Team, edit Roster. Then place your team to the first row and save all (File->save). Remember you should put mega pokemon first!
   

   • Open the configuration file (Mac&ubuntu: ~/Shuffle-Move/config/boards/board.txt, Win: I don't know…) . Copy the Stage and pokemons you selected and edit team.txt. I have already written some cases (the Shuffle Move Helper only read the first two row of team.txt, so you can write anything bellow).

   • Run the program, ./ShuffleMoveHelper ../sample/screen.jpeg 8, the last paramter indicates the mega process. Or you can just use ./ShuffleMoveHelper ../sample/screen.jpeg if you doesn't care about it. After all, we can see the output

     Load Stage and Team...
      * Stage: NORMAL
      * Mega Process 8/12
      - Mewtwo_xs img/icons/150-s.png
      - Lucario img/icons/448.png
      - Conkeldurr img/icons/534.png
      - Gallade img/icons/475.png
     Game board:
     1 2 1 3 2 4
     4 3 4 2 5 1
     3 2 3 1 4 4
     2 4 1 2 2 4
     2 2 4 3 1 3
     1 3 3 1 3 3
     

     And the board.txt

     STAGE NORMAL
     MEGA_PROGRESS 8
     STATUS NONE
     STATUS_DURATION 0
     ROW_1 Mewtwo_xs,Lucario,Mewtwo_xs,Conkeldurr,Lucario,Gallade
     FROW_1 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_1 false,false,false,false,false,false
     ROW_2 Gallade,Conkeldurr,Gallade,Lucario,Air,Mewtwo_xs
     FROW_2 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_2 false,false,false,false,false,false
     ROW_3 Conkeldurr,Lucario,Conkeldurr,Mewtwo_xs,Gallade,Gallade
     FROW_3 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_3 false,false,false,false,false,false
     ROW_4 Lucario,Gallade,Mewtwo_xs,Lucario,Lucario,Gallade
     FROW_4 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_4 false,false,false,false,false,false
     ROW_5 Lucario,Lucario,Gallade,Conkeldurr,Mewtwo_xs,Conkeldurr
     FROW_5 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_5 false,false,false,false,false,false
     ROW_6 Mewtwo_xs,Conkeldurr,Conkeldurr,Mewtwo_xs,Conkeldurr,Conkeldurr
     FROW_6 false,false,false,false,false,false
     CROW_6 false,false,false,false,false,false
     
     

     ​

   • Copy board.txt to ~/Shuffle-Move/config/boards/board.txt, Skip this step if on Mac or Ubuntu.

   • Load the board (File->Load)

   

Planned Features

1. Rewrite the program with python (python is more convenient than gcc)
2. More automatic
