** Gamebook Format
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The input file expected by the formatgamebook.py script must be in a
|
2013-06-03 22:57:55 +03:00
|
|
|
format containing information about all sections in the book
|
2013-05-30 01:18:05 +03:00
|
|
|
plus some optional metadata. The format should (when TBD) be documented
|
|
|
|
|
here, but it is not expected that most users would ever have to look
|
|
|
|
|
at the gamebook file, but rather use a higher level format or a
|
|
|
|
|
GUI tool.
