This is the start of the scripting API. It will be expanded over time. If you want something ask for it in the forum.

Functions you can implement:

void setupGame(); // Sets up the game state such as # of players, Map Size, if they need to set a deck or not, etc

void beforeStart(); // Do things here before any action. Place creatures and buildings, change their decks etc.

void afterAction(); // not yet

void playersTurn(IPlayer player); // not yet

bool canPass(IPlayer player); // not yet // called when the real players try to pass. This is so you can ensure they do a particular action before passing.

Functions you can call: IEntity createEntity(string CardName, int x_coord , int y_coord,IPlayer controller ); IEntity createEntity(string CardName ,ILocation loc,IPlayer controller); IEntity createEntity(string CardName ,ILocation loc); ILocation createLocation(int x,int y); IPlayer getAIPlayer(int index) void addAIPlayer(string PlayerName,string Avatar,int teamID); // can only call this from configGame() // all parameters are ignored for now

Example Scripts: // Fortified AI <code>void configGame() { addAIPlayer("Evil Fish","Crypt Doctor",0); }

void beforeStart() { IPlayer aiPlayer=getAIPlayer(0); createEntity("Earthworks",6,6,aiPlayer); createEntity("Earthworks",10,10,aiPlayer); createEntity("Axe Captain",6,7,aiPlayer); createEntity("Attrition",-1,-1,aiPlayer); }
