ScenarioScript v1.0.1

Script language suitable for storing scenario data.

Example

[Wife]     Have you got anything without spam?
[Waitress] Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
[Wife]     I don't want ANY spam!
[Man]      Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
[Wife]     THAT'S got spam in it!
[Man]      Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
[Vikings]  Spam spam spam spam... (singing, repeat=10)

This is parsed to the following:

[{
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Wife",
  "message": "Have you got anything without spam?",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Waitress",
  "message": "Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Wife",
  "message": "I don't want ANY spam!",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Man",
  "message": "Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Wife",
  "message": "THAT'S got spam in it!",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Man",
  "message": "Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?",
  "params": {}
}, {
  "type": "message",
  "role": "Vikings",
  "message": "Spam spam spam spam...",
  "params": {
    "singing": true,
    "repeat": 10
  }
}]

Rules

Basic Rules

• Empty lines means nothing.
• There are 2 types of lines: Message and Separator
  • A separator line looks like ---. Separators are lines which contains only dashes.
  • A message line typically looks like [name] message (key=value, ...). See below for details.

Message

Example:

[Vikings]  Spam spam spam spam... (singing, repeat=10)

The initial part [Vikings] is the role of the line. In this case the role of the line is Vikings. The valid characters for the names for roles are anything except ].

The last part (singing, repeat=10) is the parameters of the line. In this case the parameter is equivalent as the json object:

{
  "singing": true,
  "repeat": 10
}

The parameters are the comma-separated sequence of key=value. The =value part is optional and if it's omitted, it means true. If the value looks like a number, then it's considered as a number. If the value looks like a boolean, then it's considered as a boolean. Otherwise it's a string.

Role can be omitted. Example:

There was a light at first

In this case, the role of the line is null and the whole line is message of the line.

Separator

A separator line only has '-' in it.

Example:

[ Jonathan ] How many have you killed?
[ Dio ] Do you remember how many breads you've eaten in your life?
---
[ Jonathan ] I never forgive you, Dio.
[ Dio ] Haha.

The --- line above is a separator line.

Note:

• Any line except separator is a message line.
• There's no syntax error. Any string is valid.
