FableScript

A programming language designed story-telling with strong programming capabilities in games.

FableScript Examples

FizzBuzz.f:

Given an integer n, for every integer i <= n, the task is to print “FizzBuzz” if i is divisible by 3 and 5, “Fizz” if i is divisible by 3, “Buzz” if i is divisible by 5 or i (as a string) if none of the conditions are true.

<?
for(local i = 0; i < n; i++) {
	local result = ""
	if(i % 3 == 0) {
		result += "Fizz"
	}
	if(i % 5 == 0) {
		result += "Buzz"
	}
	else if(result.length == 0) {
		result = i
	}
	print(result + " ")
}
?>

PotionSeller.f:

Simple dialogue script.

<entry id="hello" speaker="Traveller">
	Hello potion seller, I am going into battle and I want your strongest potions.
	<link target="too strong" />
</entry>
<entry id="too strong" speaker="Potion Seller">
	My potions are too strong for you traveller.
	<link target="going into battle" />
	<link target="insult seller" />
</entry>

<entry id="going into battle" speaker="Traveller">
	Please, potion seller. I'm going into battle and I need only your strongest potions.
	<link target="you don't know" />
</entry>
<entry id="you don't know" speaker="Potion Seller">
	You don't know what you ask for, Traveller, my strongest potions
	will kill a dragon, let alone a man.
	<link target="you don't know 2" />
</entry>
<entry id="you don't know 2" speaker="Potion Seller">
	What you need is a seller that sells weaker potions because my
	potions are too strong for you, Traveller.
	<link target="insult seller" />
</entry>

<entry id="insult seller" speaker="Traveller">
	Well, You've had your say, Potion Seller, and I'll have mine.
	<link target="insult seller 2" />
</entry>
<entry id="insult seller 2" speaker="Traveller">
	You're a rascal. A rascal with no respect for Knights.
	No respect for <i>anything</i>.
	<link target="final" />
</entry>

<entry id="final" speaker="Potion Seller">
	Why respect Knights... When my potions can do anything
	that you can.
</entry>

FableScript API Example

Loading a story and procedurally iterating over entries.

Print entries on progression

This prints each entry that's progressing.

var story = new FableScript("FileName.f");
story.Progressed += (entry) =>
{
	var tags = string.Join(", ", entry.Tags.Select(tag => $"{tag.Name}: {tag.Value}"));
	Console.WriteLine($"{entry.Id}({tags}): {entry.Text}");
};
story.Finished += () =>
{
	Consnole.WriteLine("FableScript story finished!");
};
story.Start();
