Fun fact: Katsuya Eguchi incepted the game as a result of his move to Kyoto to work at Nintendo - because he missed his family and friends from his hometown.
"Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realised that being close to them – being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them – was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing."

This looks great! I too have been working on a critter tracker[0], but writing it in C using kcgi[1] (no JS at all).
I have never done a web project before, so this has been a great learning experience. I still have some functionality to complete, but so far it has been pretty useful, even just the "available now" feature.

This triggered memories of fishing for Coelacanths in the original Gamecube Animal Crossing. Twas an amazing game, and sounds like it still is.

Little off-topic but can anyone here compare to Stardew valley? I feel like I’ve kinda “finished” stardew after going through the core story and wondering about switching trains

I’m trying to avoid looking at any outside guides for a good while, so I can experience things for myself.
But when I eventually give in, this guide will be handy!

Looks great on an iphone! How did you get the pics?

Great work! I’m curious, how did you get all the critter info?

I get a blank white page. What tech is this coded in?

Showed it to my wife who's been playing, and then I heard a bunch of clicking and now it's circulating in the Discord channel she hangs out in. Nice work!

Thanks so much! I had a mind to work on this the other week (even started up a boilerplate) and then got distracted. So glad you stayed on task more than I did.

Great stuff, thanks a lot!
May I ask where you get the data from?

Is there a button to reset? I clicked on one to see what happened and now I can't undo.

This is awesome. Did you or someone else illustrate the icons? They're beautiful.

Nice work!
I like how it is first sorted by fish/bug that will be gone next month.

Very cool, just what I needed.

This is great! Thank you.

This should have been built into the game. Nintendo fans are so forgiving of glaring flaws.
