Medicine is essential for sick pets.
Age Restrictions
Not all food suits all ages:
All other food is unavailable
Most basic meals available
Some premium items still locked
The AI only offers age-appropriate food.
Food costs gold:
The AI considers price when choosing food, preferring cheaper options when hunger is moderate and saving premium food for special occasions.
Pets start with some food. Using inventory is free (already paid for).
When inventory runs out, food must be purchased. This requires gold.
The AI checks inventory first and only shops when necessary.
The Feeding Process
When the AI decides to feed:
Select "Give food" or "Give treat"
Every step is visible on screen.
Smart Food Choices
The AI makes intelligent decisions:
Slightly hungry? → Snack or treat
Hungry AND bored? → Treat for both
Low on gold? → Cheaper options
Starting Inventory
New pets begin with:
Basic meals (bread, pizza, etc.)
This ensures early feeding is possible before gold accumulates.
