YML based Dialog Structure

Example

If you want to compile the code at home, download assets here: disroot's cloud, clone the repo, extract the assets in the root of the repo and run cargo run --example complete_example.

RoadMap

• fully functional API to implement a dialog system into a (bevy game or any) app
  • Usage
    • Custom (De)Serialize implementation. The field content: is interpreted as either monolog: or choices:
    • Generic type for Condition
    • Generic type for an extra field on the DialogNode
    • Dynamic Macros
  • Exclude Bevy dependency
  • Follow all guidelines from Rust API Guidelines
    • Documentation
      • Examples use ?, not try!, not unwrap (C-QUESTION-MARK)
      • Crate level docs are thorough and include examples (C-CRATE-DOC)
      • create an example
    • Interoperability
      • Types eagerly implement common traits
      • ...
    • Future proofing (crate is free to improve without breaking users' code)
      • Sealed traits protect against downstream implementations (C-SEALED)
      • Structs have private fields (C-STRUCT-PRIVATE)
      • Newtypes encapsulate implementation details (C-NEWTYPE-HIDE)
      • Data structures do not duplicate derived trait bounds (C-STRUCT-BOUNDS)

Contribute

Release's format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

This project also follows to A successful Git branching model.

We have to respect all the rust API convention. For the lore, follow all Bevy plugins guidelines.

Inspiration

• Medium: A Tree Structure implemented in Rust.
• Wikipedia: Dialogue Tree
• Wikipedia: Nonlinear Gameplay
• Bevy's SubReddit: Bevy Dialog Discussion

I began coding this as a tree strucutre dialog but a graph based is much more suited for a dialog. Maybe after this migration this crate is not needed anymore and will just do a devlog. (and free this name :)

Naming

Accordingly to this discussion, this is not a trivial question.

• yml-dialog
• dialog-structure
• md-to-dialog-tree
• fto-dialog
• bevy_dialog
• bevy_dialog_system
• bevy_fto_dialog / bevy_fob_dialog
