Creating and Running your own World

Worlds are defined with JSON. An example can be found on the wiki. Deploying the world to the command line looks like this:

use kingslayer::Cli;

fn main() {
    let cli = Cli::from_json_file("data/world.json");

    cli.start();
}

or the loop can be managed manually like this:

use kingslayer::Cli;

fn main() {
    let cli = Cli::from_json_file("data/world.json");

    println!("{}", cli.ask("l"));
    loop {
        let s = cli.ask(&Cli::prompt());
        println!("{}", s);
        if s.contains("You died.") {
            break;
        }
    }
}

This method allows you to manage other forms of input and output such as within a website. The JSON content for the world can also be passed as a raw string with Cli::from_json_str.
