Purpose:

I am writing this to learn rust and have something fun in my terminal

Detailed:

This tamogachi will start out simple and become more complex Required Features:

• Hunger: time since last command executes
• Sleep: it will sleep on a random schedule during the day it should sleep in short 30-60 minute burst
• Energy: number of command run
• Levels: based on the number of commands run and age of the tamogachi it will level up over time
• Small data structure, (in/de)crement values instead of storing continuous records
• Moods: arbitrary moods that last 30-60 minutes
• (could be based on weather)
• Pet Characteristics: age, name, level, owner,personality (idk how i would make this relevant when actually interacting with it), favourite activities, skills, colour / breed, health)

Steps/Order to complete project:

• Implement [se/de]serialization
• Parse command line options
• Separate all functions into modules
• Create new files and write functions for the tamogachi modifiers
• Implement dynamic logic (leveling up, sleep state, etc)
• Figure out if you want to use health and energy
• Test with starship
