EvForm - a way to create advanced ASCII forms
This is intended for creating advanced ASCII game forms, such as a
large pretty character sheet or info document.
The system works on the basis of a readin template that is given in a
separate Python file imported into the handler. This file contains
some optional settings and a string mapping out the form. The template
has markers in it to denounce fields to fill. The markers map the
absolute size of the field and will be filled with an `evtable.EvCell`
object when displaying the form.
Example of input file `testform.py`:
::
FORMCHAR = "x"
TABLECHAR = "c"
FORM = '''
.------------------------------------------------.
| |
| Name: xxxxx1xxxxx Player: xxxxxxx2xxxxxxx |
| xxxxxxxxxxx |
| |
>----------------------------------------------<
| |
| Desc: xxxxxxxxxxx STR: x4x DEX: x5x |
| xxxxx3xxxxx INT: x6x STA: x7x |
| xxxxxxxxxxx LUC: x8x MAG: x9x |
| |
>----------------------------------------------<
| | |
| cccccccc | ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc |
| cccccccc | ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc |
| cccAcccc | ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc |
| cccccccc | ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc |
| cccccccc | cccccccccccccccccBccccccccccccccccc |
| | |
-------------------------------------------------
The first line of the `FORM` string is ignored. The forms and table
markers must mark out complete, unbroken rectangles, each containing
one embedded single-character identifier (so the smallest element
possible is a 3-character wide form). The identifier can be any
character except for the `FORM_CHAR` and `TABLE_CHAR` and some of the
common ASCII-art elements, like space, `_` `|` `*` etc (see
`INVALID_FORMCHARS` in this module). Form Rectangles can have any size,
but must be separated from each other by at least one other
character's width.
Use as follows:
::
from evennia import EvForm, EvTable
# create a new form from the template
form = EvForm("path/to/testform.py")
(MudForm can also take a dictionary holding
the required keys FORMCHAR, TABLECHAR and FORM)
# add data to each tagged form cell
form.map(cells={1: "Tom the Bouncer",
2: "Griatch",
3: "A sturdy fellow",
4: 12,
5: 10,
6: 5,
7: 18,
8: 10,
9: 3})
# create the EvTables
tableA = EvTable("HP","MV","MP",
table=[["**"], ["*****"], ["***"]],
border="incols")
tableB = EvTable("Skill", "Value", "Exp",
table=[["Shooting", "Herbalism", "Smithing"],
[12,14,9],["550/1200", "990/1400", "205/900"]],
border="incols")
# add the tables to the proper ids in the form
form.map(tables={"A": tableA,
"B": tableB})
print(form)
This produces the following result:
::
.------------------------------------------------.
| |
| Name: Tom the Player: Griatch |
| Bouncer |
| |
>----------------------------------------------<
| |
| Desc: A sturdy STR: 12 DEX: 10 |
| fellow INT: 5 STA: 18 |
| LUC: 10 MAG: 3 |
| |
>----------------------------------------------<
| | |
| HP|MV|MP | Skill |Value |Exp |
| ~~+~~+~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| **|**|** | Shooting |12 |550/1200 |
| |**|* | Herbalism |14 |990/1400 |
| |* | | Smithing |9 |205/900 |
| | |
------------------------------------------------
The marked forms have been replaced with EvCells of text and with
EvTables. The form can be updated by simply re-applying `form.map()`
with the updated data.
When working with the template ASCII file, you can use `form.reload()`
to re-read the template and re-apply all existing mappings.
Each component is restrained to the width and height specified by the
template, so it will resize to fit (or crop text if the area is too
small for it). If you try to fit a table into an area it cannot fit
into (when including its borders and at least one line of text), the
form will raise an error.
