Narrative Engine

Engine for writing narrative and dialogue-based games in C#. Game nodes such as actors and places are loaded from XML-files when the game starts. Dialogue is generated using embedded C#-scripts. Everything between a pair of `` will be interpreted as C#-code.

Example:

As you walk down `Place.TheName`, you see `Other.Name` sitting in a corner 
with `Other.HisHer` face in `Other.HisHer` hands, the tears are streaming. 
Today `Other.HeShe` is wearing a `RandInt % 2 == 0 ? "blue" : "red"` shirt.

The text above could be invoked using the following context for Other:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Actor xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Id>248617626</Id>
  <Name>Sarah</Name>
  <Gender>FEMALE</Gender>
</Actor>

The generated text would then be:

As you walk down the corridor, you see Sarah sitting in a corner with her face in her hands, the tears are streaming. Today she is wearing a red shirt.
