GitHub Search

See also GitHub's official help: Finding files on GitHub; Understanding GitHub Code Search syntax

The FAQ and this wiki should suffice for most of the data and info, but you might as well want to look something up in the source code by yourself, e.g. locations, flags, and procedures such as ifs and thens. Use GitHub's search functions in your browser, namely the file finder and the search box.

File Finder

Find the Go to file bar. Input a file name you know or guess, and the finder performs a real-time forward search.

Examples:

• baseglac ➡️ data/pokemon/base_stats/glaceon.asm;
• evosatt ➡️ data/pokemon/evos_attacks.asm and some more;
• mapvictory ➡️ maps/VictoryRoad1F.asm, 2F, and 3F;
• wildjohto ➡️ data/wild/johto_grass.asm and data/wild/johto_water.asm; but…
• johtowild ➡️ audio/music/johtowildbattle.asm and audio/music/johtowildbattlenight.asm.

Search Box

Caution: Unfortunately, GitHub's search box can only target the default branch, which may be ahead of the version you're playing.

Find the search box at the top (logged-in users) or at the bottom inside the hamburger menu (non-logged-in). Enter a code string to search for. Search-narrowing qualifiers like path and language will help refine your search, e.g. language:Assembly. The search is case-insensitive and will only display result snippets. Click on one of the results to view the code in your browser.

Polished follows pokecrystal's style guide for coding, e.g. constants in SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE and labels in PascalCase.

Examples:

• ice_stone ➡️ map(s), shop(s), evolution conditions, definitions and descriptions, etc.;
• ice stone ➡️ not only the files above but also the others with ice and stone;
• itemfinder delivers some results, but item finder or item_finder don't.

Advanced (Desktop)

Clone the repository to do git grep.
