There are instructions in the repository. If that's not enough, you can ask around #showdown in SynIRC.

Is it possible to turn PokemonShowdown into an exe like file and play using Hamachi?
Zarel
Zarel
You can play using Hamachi, and you can make a .bat file to start it, I guess.

do you think something like this would look like this: http://i.imgur.com/y2q9oxe.jpg or would that be reinventing the wheel? Unfortunately I cannot afford to rent a 24 hr server. That is why I'm trying to have it like PO where you have download the program, and have all the images in the folder.

Hosting a PS server takes more work than a PO server, yes. No way around it right now. I might make an autoupdater for Windows, but Windows isn't very well-supported right now either way.

I heard that Windows 8 isn't compatible with some games. This project has been on my heart for a while. Outside of my project. I'm guessing Showdown doesn't need any help right now. What would be the first step in building a simulator, or making sure that PS is running up to date?

Any tips or homework you give me would be helpful.. I have two passions in this life. 1. Pokemon 2. Jesus/My Church.

If I cannot Port Forward am I anyway capable of having Lan Play?

Well, it's a server. Windows is generally the worst OS for servers. You can _play_ PS in Windows 8 just fine.

In the future if I asked you to set something up for me how much would you charge?

kota/pika/victini's been selling $5/mo VPSes for hosting PS. You could ask him.

(I've got the local.psim set up and I could access the team builder.) Zarel what do you think would be better something to download, and let ppl access the team builder offline along with allowing them to edit color palettes/themes or go browser only?

I have no clue what you're asking.

What do you think the better option is having a browser based simulator, or have a simulator that needs to be downloaded but more customizable.
(thanks for being patient with me)

It depends heavily on what you're trying to do with it. Browser-based makes it easier for users to start playing, but you're right that downloaded leads to more engagement and makes certain customization easier.

I also would like to code in Megas for Butterfree, and more. If I'm using the PS app how/where do I host pictures so they can appear in the simulator.

In all honesty I feel like I'm leaning more towards a website since it'll be easier to update than having people download multiple updates, and potentially (unintentionally) having to confuse people.

What is the fastest and/or easiest way to change stats/abilities and to add pokemon to a showdown server.
