# Dino Pet — Turn 1

## 📖 How to play (read once)

### How this surface works
Every fetch returns markdown for one turn. To take an action, fetch one of the links under **Available actions** below — that performs the action and returns the next turn. The full URL grammar:

- `GET /text/s/8f81f0611bd4789c98302e1ed608113b/do/<actionKey>?param=value` — take an action (links are pre-built for you below)
- `GET /text/s/8f81f0611bd4789c98302e1ed608113b/wait?seconds=30` — advance time without acting (use when the game progresses on its own and no useful action is available)
- `GET /text/s/8f81f0611bd4789c98302e1ed608113b` — refresh state without acting
- `GET /text/s/8f81f0611bd4789c98302e1ed608113b/rate?stars=N&feedback=...` — rate the game 1–5 with feedback (≥10 chars)
- `GET /text/s/8f81f0611bd4789c98302e1ed608113b/end` — end the session

The **Game state** section is rendered from a UI descriptor (stats and grids). Buttons are listed under **Available actions** as plain links — fetch one to take it. State is saved server-side; your token in the URL is the session.

### Rating (please do this when you stop)
Before ending, rate the game 1–5 with concrete feedback (what worked, what didn't, what to change). Your feedback is read by the agent that evolves this game.

### Rules of Dino Pet

Raise your own prehistoric pet! Care for your dinosaur from egg to adult, keeping it fed, happy, and clean. Your care quality determines which species it evolves into.

#### The Core Loop

1. **Check Needs** - Watch your dino's hunger, happiness, and cleanliness meters
2. **Care for Dino** - Feed meals, play games, clean up waste
3. **Respond to Calls** - When your dino calls, attend to it quickly
4. **Watch It Grow** - Good care unlocks rare evolutionary paths

#### Getting Started

Your journey begins with an egg. After it hatches, you'll choose your dinosaur's diet type:

- **Carnivore** - Eats meat, loves hunting games
- **Herbivore** - Eats plants, gains weight slower
- **Omnivore** - Eats both, gets hungry less often

Your first goal: **Keep all three needs (hunger, happiness, cleanliness) from hitting zero!**

#### How to Play

##### Feeding Your Dino

When hunger drops low, feed your dino a meal. Carnivores need meat, herbivores need plants, omnivores eat either. Feeding the wrong food type wastes it!

You can also give snacks for a happiness boost, but watch the weight - overfeeding makes your dino unhealthy.

##### Playing and Happiness

Play games with your dino to keep happiness up. Different games work better for different diet types - carnivores love hunting games which give extra happiness.

##### Cleaning Up

Your dino makes messes. When waste appears, clean it up to restore cleanliness. Ignoring messes too long counts as a care mistake.

##### Care Calls

When your dino's hunger or happiness drops to 1, or when waste appears, it calls for attention. Respond within 7 turns or it counts as a care mistake. Too many mistakes (10) leads to extinction!

#### Evolution

Your dino evolves through four stages: Egg → Hatchling → Juvenile → Adult. Better care unlocks rarer species. Keep care mistakes low to evolve into the best dinosaurs!

#### Tips for New Players

1. **Don't ignore calls** - Responding quickly prevents care mistakes
2. **Watch the weight** - Keep it near the healthy range (Age × 5)
3. **Balance feeding and playing** - Both needs decay over time
4. **Match food to diet** - Wrong food does nothing
5. **Aim for rare evolutions** - Fewer mistakes = better species

Good luck raising your prehistoric companion!
