Purpose

Dynamaxed is a graphical editor for the PRET/pokeemerald project in order to make it easier to add, remove and change things like trainers, pokemon, items, etc. It will also come with a full MSYS2 dev environment so you won't need to go through the tedious process of creating one yourself.

It is primarily intended to be an alternative to AdvanceMap for modders who have little to no understanding of C or programming in general and want to get a quick start on modding.

How it works

This project requires tyranteon/dynamaxed-emerald as a base, which is a slightly modified version of the pret/pokeemerald project. It's modified in a way to allow generated code on one hand while still allowing you to manually modify the rest of the code if you so desire.

Compiles and hot-reloads for development

yarn electron:serve
