dialogue-engine

Engine for making conversation in games. Supports option for subdialogues, and changing topics.

##XML format

Each character has a tree tag as its root, and needs an identifier. The main elements of the tree are dialog tags. They each have ids, which can be any string, however, the entry point for the conversation must have the id "root". Each dialog has a message, and several answers under it. answer nodes have two attributes, goto and type. goto specifies an id of another dialog node or subdialog node. The use of subdialog nodes in dialog nodes allows for the organization of the conversation into topics. The goto attribute also supports the value "quit", which will exit the conversation. type specifies what kind of goto you are using. Use "next" to go to a dialog and "sub" to go to a subdialog.
