Enkibot

An adaptive Final Fantasy V walkthrough/checklist generator designed to be used for a Four Job Fiesta, which only displays information needed for your particular run.

Architecture

The YAML files in /data/nodes define a very simple, mostly-linear state-machine. Each node contains hints for a certain part of FFV, some of which should be displayed only if the user has certain classes or combinations of classes. When building a walkthrough, the generator starts from the first node in the game (Wing Raptor) and recursively expands nodes until it meets an 'end' node (Neo Exdeath).

Use

load 'generator.rb'
generator = Generator.new(['Knight', 'Red-Mage', 'Ranger', 'Chemist'])
print generator.get_walkthrough

Contributing

Please help fill-out/fact-check the .yaml files which define the nodes. I don't actually know everything about FFV, so the more eyes the better.
