PyDew Valley → SimVX

Port of clear_code_projects/PyDew-Valley (a Stardew-Valley-style farming demo, ~1130 LOC of pygame).

Run

# From /home/fezzik/dev/simvx:
uv run python ../ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/main.py            # GUI
uv run python ../ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/main.py --test     # headless smoke (12 frames, exits)
uv run python ../ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/capture.py         # boot screenshots
uv run python ../ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/harness.py         # 15-stage scripted run

Controls

Key	Action
W A S D / arrows	Walk 4-direction
Space	Use selected tool
Q	Cycle tool: hoe → axe → water
LCtrl / RCtrl	Plant selected seed
E	Cycle seed: corn ↔ tomato
Enter	Interact (trader / bed)
Escape	Close trader menu / quit
F5 / F9	Save / load slot 1 (JSON)

Web export

uv run simvx export web ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/main.py \
    -o ported_games/pydew_valley/simvx_port/web/index.html
