Introduction

BattleSimulator is a GUI-based game that allows users to select a Pokémon and use different attack types to defeat a randomly chosen opponent. The game includes three Pokémon types: Rat, Snake, and Turtle, each with unique stats.

---

Installation

1. Make sure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed (version 8 or above recommended).
2. Clone or download this repository.
3. Place the BattleSimulator.java file into your Java project folder.

---

How to Run

1. Open the file in an IDE like IntelliJ, Eclipse, or compile via terminal: javac BattleSimulator.java
2. Then run the compiled class: java BattleSimulator

---

Usage

• When the application starts, choose your Pokémon by clicking one of the three buttons: Rat, Snake, or Turtle.
• After selecting your Pokémon, click Confirm to lock in your choice.
• The computer will automatically select its Pokémon.
• Use the attack buttons:
• Strong Attack
• Medium Attack
• Weak Attack
• Effect Attack

Each attack has different accuracy and damage. After each turn, the computer will respond with an attack of its own.

• The health of both the player and the computer is shown at the bottom.
• The battle continues until one side's HP drops to 0.
• A win or loss message will be displayed, and the game will close after 5 seconds.
