# Anselme

The overengineered dialog scripting system in pure Lua.

This is version 2, a full rewrite. **Currently not stable.**

```
:money = 10
:health points = 5

"from": "barista" #
	| Hi, what can I do for you?

*| a latte with a bunch of sugar and a pretty sprinkles please
	"from": "barista" #
		| Good choice. Here you go. Have a colorful day.
	money -= 10
*| triple expresso
	"from": "barista" #
		| Here. Have a nice day.
	money -= 2
*| a slap
	"from": "barista" #
		| With pleasure.

	"type": "sfx" #
		| SLAP
	health points -= 2

	| Thanks, I feel much better.
```

Supported: Lua 5.4, Lua 5.3, LuaJIT (LuaJIT requires the utf8 module: `luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install luautf8`).
Otherwise all needed files are included in the `anselme` directory.

Anselme is licensed under the ISC license, meaning you can basically use it for anything as long as you make the content of the [license file](license) appear somewhere. I would appreciate it if you don't use Anselme to commit war crimes though. If that's not enough for you or want better support, feel free to contact me, my integrity can be bought.
