I shot a video preview of the #MonsterMesh the #Pokemon#Meshtastic firmware for the #TDeck. This is the original project and it's ready to start testing early versions. I'm waiting to post it to reddit on Monday morning to get maximum impact. Mastodon can see it early.

This video only shows some of the functionality. There's also a lot in the pipeline. Including some easter eggs you might be able to figure but by watching the video closely.

As an asside the Game boy looking thing I posted is our first hardware project we are entering into a hardware hacking contest. The case is by retroflag but we are making a modified cart that adds a Lora radio to the rpi Zero. It's been fun developing it. First we built it on a unix shell and wired the usb to a meshtastic radio. it can fight with 3 types of other #MonsterMesh devices over mesh. I've put the software on a rpi Zero and refined it. This is my first ever rpi project.
My MonsterMesh community has been developing these #pentest pikachus for meshtastic. They are wifi penetration virtual pets. Pikachu finds vulnerable networks and gets into a battles, earns XP, levels up, learns newmoves, and evolves. It's a #meshtastic device so you can fight other Pikachus and #MonsterMesh 6 #pokemon parties on the mesh.
You can currently run alpha versions on off the shelf hardware, but are working on a custom LoRa Walker with a pedometer and larger screen.
#infosec
I’ve been doing a lot of work for #MonsterMesh a #Pokemon project for #meshtastic
I’m pretty close to releasing another prealpha release with all kinds of mesh social features like PvP text battles with the Pokemon from your save, local gym challenges with new game plus gyms to fight, a social virtual pet day care where your Pokemon socialize with other Pokemon on the mesh. I also have monster mesh gym nodes on the way that host a custom Pokemon gym and asynchronous battle ladder of champions.
Big win for making #Pokemon work over #Meshtastic with #MonsterMesh. Getting the link cable to work over meshtastic has a lot of moving pieces. It's far from fully implemented but I got the handshake to work over meshtastic and the two clients can see each other over the virtual link cable.
This project is 14 days old so things are going well considering how complicated this is and how much I've never done anything like this before.
