First, let's look at the basic flow of a dialog program. The world of Minecraft can be broken up into a series of ''events''. These are things like talking, combat, block breaks, and so on. The general flow looks kind of like this: event -> listener. This isn't easy to represent in text. How do we make a nice system out of this? | |||
The answer is pretty simple: think of an event as a series of facts, such as a player who was involved, their name, and so on. Each fact has a name or ''key'', and a value eg. the player's name might have a key of "name" and a value of "fullwall". An event is simply a whole lot of facts about what happened. This makes it much easier to reason about in text. | |||
