Welcome to the BFDI Simulator!

Here's how to play:

  1. Host & Season Setup:
    • Enter a name for your season (optional).
    • Select a Host (required) and a Co-Host (optional) from the dropdowns. Hosts do not compete.
    • Click "Next" to proceed to contestant selection.
  2. Contestant & Team Setup:
    • Choose the number of teams and the size of each team.
    • Select the characters (contestants) for your simulation. You need exactly the number required (Teams x Size). Hosts/Co-hosts cannot be selected as contestants.
    • You can click characters individually or use the "Randomize Cast" button.
    • Give your teams names (optional).
    • Click "Proceed to Assignment" when ready.
  3. Team Assignment:
    • Drag and drop characters from the "Unassigned" pool to the team boxes.
    • Ensure each team has the correct number of characters.
    • You can use the "Randomize Teams" button to shuffle assigned characters.
    • Click "Confirm Assignments" to begin the simulation.
  4. Simulation:
    • The season name is displayed above the battlefield.
    • Drag characters between team areas or onto the main battlefield (unassigned).
    • Click on a character on the battlefield to eliminate them (you'll be asked to confirm).
    • Click on a character's name in the "Eliminated" list in the sidebar to have them rejoin the game. They will try to return to their last team or become unassigned.
    • Merge: When at least half of the starting characters are eliminated, a "Merge Teams" button will appear at the bottom of the sidebar. Clicking this dissolves all teams, and all remaining characters play individually. Be careful, this action cannot be undone!
    • Watch the chaos unfold! When zero contestants remain, a recap of the elimination order for the season will be shown.
