Dialog tree parser and Executor
Dtree a file format, library, and command line utility for dialog trees.
Dialog trees are a common occurence in video games, and it felt like a fun project to create an easy file format spec for these.
Section: A state that the dialog tree can be in. Designated by a box in the above picture.
Mapping: A text input required to go from one section to another
Defining a section:
[ start ] Welcome to the game! What would you like to do?
^ Text in brackets ^ The name of the ^ The text to show along with it
define what's being Section to describe
described
Defining a mapping:
``` [ start (to the house) ->house ] Go to the house ^ The section ^ In parenthesis ^ The section ^ The description for the mapping that the mapping is the text that the to travel to if starts at player has to input the text in to get to the next section parenthesis is inputted
```
For example, the following dtree file test/example.dtree:
```dtree [start] Welcome to this dtree file [start (gym)->gym] Go to the gym [start (videogames)->games] Play videogames
[gym] You made it to the gym! What a loser lol. Game over.
[games] Which game would you like to play? [games (cs)->cs] Counter Strike [games (cod)->cod] Call of Duty
[cs] Lmao what a shitty game. You got rekt. Game over.
[cod] You have 12 year old noobs scream at you because of the size of your mother. Wonderful. ```
A possible playthrough of this could look like:
``` $ dtree test/example.dtree Welcome to this dtree file (videogames) Play videogames (gym) Go to the gym
videogames Which game would you like to play? (cod) Call of Duty (cs) Counter Strike cod You have 12 year old noobs scream at you because of the size of your mother. Wonderful. ```
