+SELSL is a Simple English Like Scripting Language
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It is implemented in Go language for use with Go muds, such as my Woe
|
|
|
+MUD engine. It is indended to be usable both as an interective command
|
|
|
+interpreter for the users of the MUD as well as a scripting language
|
|
|
+for the builders.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+While the goal is to be english like, a second goal is to be simple,
|
|
|
+so it does not use any advanced AI like techniques to parse the
|
|
|
+input. Rarther it uses a few simple rules to reduce the user input to
|
|
|
+commands, and blocks of commands.

|
+In SELSL, everything is an object, and there are no stand alone variables.
|
|
|
+Eveything exists in something else, except for the top level "world".
|
|
|
+There is also a "me" object which represents the the current actor
|
|
|
+that is operating on the state of the world.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A SELSL script consists of commands. Commands operate on the state of the
|
|
|
+world and may cause output to be produced as well.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A command begins with a verb and is optionally followed by the objects the
|
|
|
+command perates on. If a command has no objects it will operate on the
|
|
|
+"me" object. Commands are separated from each other by one of
|
|
|
+the English prepositions or conjunctions that SELSL accepts. See below for
|
|
|
+the lists. Commands are also separated by the particles "a", "an", "the",
|
|
|
+or the demonstratives "this", "that", "those".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A command is ended by a period. A column in a command announces the start of a
|
|
|
+block. The command end ends a block.
