A very simple and lightweight (only 44 KB) tool written in [[wp>JAVA]] to calculate the best combo of Exp. Candies to use to reach a desired level with any Pokémon.\\ Note: "best combo" means to use the right combination of Exp. Candies types to get the needed amount of experience points to reach the desired level without to exceed it too far (a.k.a. the most efficient way to use Exp. Candies). For example: to get 33.000 experience points (XP) you can use 2 Exp. Candies XL but that would mean to waste 27.000 XP (since each Exp. Candy XL gives you 30.000 XP), so it's better (more efficient) to use 1 Exp. Candy XL (30.000 XP) and 1 Exp. Candy M (3.000 XP) since this way you won't waste a single XP and you will save an Exp. Candy XL for future use too. ===== Installation ===== * On //Windows// install (or update) [[http://www.java.com/download|JAVA]] (minimum version required Java 6) and reboot your PC. * Download the package from the link above in any folder of your PC and extract the ZIP file to get the the executable of the program (the .jar file) * Just do a right click on the .jar executable file and choose "Run with > JAVA(TM) Platform SE Binary"\\ Note: sometime even a simple double-click on the .jar file should run it with JVM directly * On //Unix// distros or //Mac//: * Install (or update) [[http://www.java.com/download|JAVA]] (minimum version required Java 6) and reboot your PC.\\ Note: you can opt also for open source JAVA implementations like [[https://openjdk.java.net/|OpenJDK]] or similars. * Download the package from the link above in any folder of your PC and extract the ZIP file to get the the executable of the program (the .jar file) * Enter in above folder (where you put the .jar file) and run it with JAVA by typing in a terminal: **java -jar pecc.jar**\\ Note: sometime even a simple double-click on the .jar file should run it with JVM directly ===== Screenshots ===== {{:pecc:pecc1.png?direct&400|}} {{:pecc:pecc2.png?direct&400|}} {{:pecc:pecc3.png?direct&400|}} ===== Thanks ===== * To Oracle for the JAVA language. * To [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page|Bulbapedia]], where I got Pokémon data and their experience points formulas * To my girlfriend for her patience.
