A prototype of the kind of simulated storyworld we might use for the cozy mystery project. Characters have personalities based on tropes and hold certain values, which they use to judge the actions of other characters. Actions have preconditions and must be somehow motivated.
This section assumes you've got Leiningen already installed.
Start up a Clojure REPL:
lein repl
Load in the felt.db namespace:
(require 'felt.db)
(in-ns 'felt.db)Create a new world:
(gen-world!)
; This will also list all the characters that were generated
; and the initial relationships between them.Sample some actions the characters might perform:
(draw-actions @conn)
(draw-action @conn 10)
(draw-actions-for-char @conn "Chris")
(draw-actions-for-char @conn "Chris" 3)Sample actions, then pick one to perform:
(draw-actions @conn)
(let [action (nth *1 0)]
(perform-action! conn action))
; *1 = the value of the previously entered expression,
; which here will be a vector of several possible actions.Seek out narratively interesting situations:
(find-mutual-likes @conn)
; A and B like one another
(find-mutual-dislikes @conn)
; A and B dislike one another
(find-mismatches @conn)
; A likes B, but B dislikes A
(find-secret-crushes @conn)
; A has a crush on B
(find-jealousies @conn)
; A is jealous of B, because A has a crush on C, and C likes B
(find-common-values @conn)
; lists all pairs of characters who hold a common value
(find-chars-by-value @conn :communalism)
; lists all characters who hold :communalism as a valueBlow away the current world and create a new one:
(gen-world!)
