Lewd Writer's Assistant (lwassist)

Add-in for google docs to convert scenarios into ActionScript for CoC

Features

Header- and indent-based doc structure:

• Header 2 that ends with '.as' marks a file
• Headers 3-5 are methods
• // comments are stripped from the text and inserted into generated sources as comments
• Text is wrapped with outputText()
• Bold and italic formatting is translated into <b> and <i>-tags
• [if something] are parsed into AS3 branching. [if (something) ] left intact
• [next something], [choice 9 "Back" method name], [camp] add buttons
• [do something] translates into a method call.

Syntax highlighting

• Recognized tags are marked with different font
• Nested tags have different colors
• Strikeout, underline, and background colors are ignored

Scene-Document as a Model-View for Coder-Writer interaction

• Header 3 (config) for API coordination
• [extends Superclass], in which the coder implements the logic

package classes.Scenes.Places {
import classes.BaseContent;
import classes.Scenes.Monsters.Mimic;

public class TrChstController extends BaseContent{
	public function TrChstController() {
	}
	public function showMeTheMoney():void {

		startCombat(new Mimic(1));
	}
}
}

14. TODO instantiate, call, compile, run, test, rage, sage, report, comment, like, subscribe

(...you see, I really don't want to make it a "learn to mod coc without learning coding". It's a tool for writer ↔ coder interaction)

Syntax reference TBD
