Gde, game design engine

This is a new cross platform implementation of previous gdmarp program.

Install

Refer release page for installation.

Dependencies

• Git for --git flag

• flowchartgvz(static flowchart) : graphviz

• gdlogue(Dialogue) : graphviz

Renderers

Document renderer - marp (slide as html,pdf,pptx) - mediawiki (web served wiki page) - pandoc (docx, or say ooxml compatible file)

Component renderer - flowchartjs (flowchart, html) - flowchartgvz (flowchart, png, pdf) - gdlogue (Dialgoue, html, png, pdf) - webuibts (web based ui with bootstrap)

Usage

gde render -m marp -p -c ../build

Yet to come

• [ ] Proper documentation to use gdengine

• [ ] Detailed documentation for macro usages

• [ ] Docx renderer with docx-rs with markdown-pulldown-parser

• With possibly domain specific language designed for docx generation
• [ ] Create a separate crate for converting markdown into pptx file
• [ ] Compile static binary of dot renderer rather than using system path

Goal

• Easy documentation
• Cross platform without hassel and (possibly) without nodejs
• Intuitive macro definitions
• Useful document forms (pdf,pptx,html,docx)
• Various component renderings (dialogue, flowchart, webui)
