Usage minimal

Le engine est une machine de traversée de graphe — il dispatch les blocks aux handlers enregistrés qui leur donnent un sens. Sans handlers, le engine n'a aucun output.

Agnostique du format

Le engine consomme un objet BlueprintExport, pas un fichier. Vous pouvez charger votre blueprint depuis JSON, XML ou YAML avec n'importe quel parseur adapté à votre plateforme. Voir Parsing & import pour les recommandations.

TypeScript

import { DialogueEngine } from '@lsde/dialog-engine';
import blueprintJson from './blueprint.json';

const engine = new DialogueEngine();
engine.init({ data: blueprintJson });

// Unified condition resolver — evaluates game-state conditions for both
// choice visibility and condition block pre-evaluation.
engine.onResolveCondition((cond) => game.evaluateCondition(cond));

// 3 required handlers — bridge between the engine and your game
// (onCondition is optional when onResolveCondition is installed)
engine.onDialog(({ scene, block, context, next }) => {
  game
    .createDialogAuto(block, context)
    .catch(() => scene.cancel())
    .finally(() => next());
});

engine.onChoice(({ scene, block, context, next }) => {
  game
    .createChoiceAuto(block, context)
    .catch(() => scene.cancel())
    .finally(() => next());
});

engine.onAction(({ block, context, next }) => {
  game
    .executeActions(block.actions)
    .catch((err) => context.reject(err))
    .finally(() => next());
});

// Start a scene anywhere in your game code
function myGameScript(sceneId: string) {
  const scene = engine.scene(sceneId);
  scene.start();
}

C#

using LsdeDialogEngine;
using LsdeDialogEngine.Json; // LsdeDialogEngine.SystemTextJson package
// Unity: use LsdeDialogEngine.Newtonsoft instead

var blueprint = LsdeJson.Parse(File.ReadAllText("blueprint.json"));
var engine = new DialogueEngine();
engine.Init(new InitOptions { Data = blueprint });

// Unified condition resolver — evaluates game-state conditions for both
// choice visibility and condition block pre-evaluation.
engine.OnResolveCondition(cond => Game.EvaluateCondition(cond));

// 3 required handlers — bridge between the engine and your game
engine.OnDialog(args => {
    var (scene, block, context, next) = args;
    Game.ShowDialog(block, context, onComplete: next);
});

engine.OnChoice(args => {
    var (scene, block, context, next) = args;
    Game.ShowChoices(block, context, onSelected: next);
});

engine.OnAction(args => {
    var (scene, block, context, next) = args;
    Game.ExecuteActions(block.Actions);
    context.Resolve();
    next();
});

// Start a scene anywhere in your game code
void MyGameScript(string sceneId) {
    var scene = engine.Scene(sceneId);
    scene.Start();
}

C++

#include <lsde/engine.h>

using namespace lsde;

DialogueEngine engine;
engine.init({blueprint});

// Unified condition resolver — evaluates game-state conditions for both
// choice visibility and condition block pre-evaluation.
engine.onResolveCondition([](const ExportCondition& cond) {
    return game->evaluateCondition(cond);
});

// 3 required handlers — bridge between the engine and your game
engine.onDialog([](auto* scene, auto* block, auto* ctx, auto next) -> CleanupFn {
    game->showDialog(block, ctx, [next]() { next(); });
    return {};
});

engine.onChoice([](auto* scene, auto* block, auto* ctx, auto next) -> CleanupFn {

    ctx->resolve();
    next();
    return {};
});

// Start a scene anywhere in your game code
auto scene = engine.scene(sceneId);
scene->start();

GDScript

var engine = LsdeDialogueEngine.new()
engine.init({"data": blueprint})

# Unified condition resolver — evaluates game-state conditions for both
# choice visibility and condition block pre-evaluation.

# 3 required handlers — bridge between the engine and your game
engine.on_dialog(func(args):
    await game.show_dialog(args["block"], args["context"])
    args["next"].call()

engine.on_choice(func(args):
    await game.show_choices(args["block"], args["context"])
    args["next"].call()
)

engine.on_action(func(args):
    game.execute_actions(args["block"].actions)
    args["context"].resolve()
    args["next"].call()
)

# Start a scene anywhere in your game code
func my_game_script(scene_id: String):
    var scene = engine.scene(scene_id)
    scene.start()

Validation du blueprint

engine.init() retourne un rapport de diagnostic avec erreurs, warnings et stats. L'option check permet de cross-valider avec les capabilities du jeu :

TypeScript

engine.init({
  data,
  check: {
    signatures: ['set_flag', 'play_sound'],
    dictionaries: { items: ['sword', 'shield'] },
    characters: ['Alice', 'Bob'],
  },
});

C#

engine.Init(new InitOptions {
    Data = blueprint,
    Check = new CheckOptions {
        Signatures = new() { "set_flag", "play_sound" },
        Dictionaries = new() { ["items"] = new() { "sword", "shield" } },
        Characters = new() { "Alice", "Bob" },
    },
});

C++

engine.init({
    blueprint,
    CheckOptions{
        .signatures = {"set_flag", "play_sound"},
        .dictionaries = {{"items", {"sword", "shield"}}},
        .characters = {"Alice", "Bob"},
    },
});

GDScript

engine.init({
    "data": blueprint,
    "check": {
        "signatures": ["set_flag", "play_sound"],
        "dictionaries": {"items": ["sword", "shield"]},
        "characters": ["Alice", "Bob"],
    },
})
