Custom commands and interactive objects about advenjure

[CharlesHD]

That's a fun fact. Was about to post about the same thing about this engine.
Would love to define custom actions.

I'm sorry for the delayed answer, I just saw this (forgot to turn on the notifications for this project). I'm glad to see advenjure being used!

There are already mechanics to easily add custom actions (that is, actions that do nothing by default but execute the pre and post conditions, or print a message). What's missing is the ability for the library user to extend the verb map, so you can add those custom commands without having to change the source of the lib. I planned to add that at some point, and should be fairly straightforward, so let me take a look at it and get back at you.

In the meantime, if you have some sort of list of actions you'd like to see supported out of the box, do send them, I can add them right away and publish a new version of the lib.

About the other feature (interactive objects), it sounds interesting but would require a bit more effort to implement. I'm currently working on other open source projects so I'm not sure when I'll be able to start adding features to this one again.

Although if I see there's people using this lib actively I'll definitely switch back to it as soon as I can.

Ok @katafrakt @CharlesHD the custom commands was a simple enough change. I've published a new advenjure version to clojars, now you can pass a custom verb map to game/run, with your own verb definitions.

In the example game you can see the verb definitions and how to react with custom code through post conditions.

If you dig a bit on the source code of this repo, you can also see how to make fully functional verbs so you are not forced to put the custom logic in the pre/post conditions.

Closing this one, open a new issue if you have any other feature request.

Cool ! I'm not going to use your library right now, but it's marked as a really promising one for a future project.
Thanks for being that reactive !

[katafrakt]

Agreed. Thank you a lot! I will try that out.

Hey @katafrakt and @CharlesHD I've been doing more development on this project and finally added the user input feature you requested.

There's a prompt-value function to do it, you can see it used here.

[katafrakt]

Thats just awesome! Thanks @facundoolano!

Yeehee !
