ARMD - Terminal Summoner

Here's a polished version of your pitch, bud:

ARMD: Terminal Summoner

Step into ARMD, a text-based creature-capture RPG for the Linux terminal. Battle and capture digital summons that emerge straight from your command line. Build your roster, strategize your moves, and master the art of taming these digital beasts. 

The goal of ARMD is simple: launch a quick game from anywhere in your terminal. Whether you’re coding or managing servers, fire up an ARMD session, battle, snag some loot, and get back to work—all in a seamless, bite-sized experience. That’s why it’s terminal-based and why each session ends after a battle.

This pure CLI experience is built for true Linux warriors—your terminal is the battlefield, and every encounter is a new test of wit and skill. The deeper you delve into your system, the stronger the foes you’ll face. Evolve your summons, equip powerful artifacts, and push your limits. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

I drew inspiration from old JRPGs, anime, and rogue-likes, but ARMD is truly its own beast. Despite its simplicity, it offers a unique experience. I'm always improving it, so stay tuned for updates! Got ideas or feedback? Drop ‘em in the comments on the itch.io page—I’d love to hear from y’all!

⚠️ Early Alpha Notice: This is still a prototype! The current version has some known bugs, If you tried a broken version, sorry ‘bout that! I’m working on improvements when I can.

Please leave feedback or report any issues—it helps me make ARMD better!

Here are the steps to run the ARMD program armd:

1. Make the program executable:

   chmod +x armd

2. Run the program: Once the program is executable, you can run it with:

   ./armd

3. Create a permanent alias:

   To run the game from anywhere, add an alias:

   alias armd="/path/to/armd"

   You can add this line to the end of your .bashrc or .profile file. Alternatively, create a separate alias file and source it in these files.

   After saving, reload your shell:

   source ~/.bashrc

   Now, you can launch ARMD from any terminal session with a simple armd command!

This should ensure everything is set up and ready for armd to run smoothly!
If it don't work the first time, just try running it once more, if it still fails let me know.
I tried to use as much of the default sounds from my system as possible, you can download the sounds I used for the game but they should not be required to play the game.
