Configuration

The crpg API is now configured via a filetype called a ".dl" file (dungeon layout). DLs have a very specific format that allow them to be parsed.

The first part is a list of nodes for the decision graph. Each node has a unique tag, its name, description, and any other parameters that need to be passed to the constructor to create the appropriate object.

Three dashes separate the first and second parts.

The second part is a list of connections between nodes. Instead of passing some sort of unique identifier for each node, you use the tag from the first part to identify the node. Then, you can use one of two symbols to denote a connection between two nodes:

• node_a -> node_b means node_a points towards node_b (in only one direction)
• node_a <-> node_b means node_a points to node_b, and vice versa

If we want to expand the API for connections, we can always add more symbols for parsing. One I was thinking about is \->, which would denote an "ending" connection (to signal destroying the path to reach the current action)
