Convo.js

Convo is a tiny conversation tree interface in Node.js

What it do

• Runs a JSON representation of a conversation tree as a multiple-choice dialog, Adventure Game style
  • check out the examples directory for what the format looks like
  • there's also a macruby script provided (in /script) that will take a hierarchical graph from Omnigraffle and turn it into the correct JSON
  • with convo, adventure game dialog is you!
• Nothing else

How it run

First install dependencies: npm install

Then pass it a JSON file: node convo examples/dialogue_tree.json

You can then either type you responses out, or enter in the corresponding digit.

Generate your own dialog trees

• In omnigraffle, make a new doc from the "hierarchical" template.
• Make sure you have MacRuby installed (it is a Ruby for Scottish people)
• macruby script/graffle2json
• the script will pull the data out of the foremost document open in graffle- no file paths required!
• you'll find your translated JSON file in the convo root dir
