Plugin requires information about the game running

A plugin requires information about the current game running and what actions/events will come from the game connection.

This is being handled by, what I'm calling, a truth tree. Until I find out the correct name for it anyway.

Each node of the tree can have children and more detail of an action is explained with subsequent children.

            return new Tree() {
                new ProconAgent() {
                    new KnowsWhen() {
                        new PlayerAgent() {
                            new Kills() {
                                // Procon KnowsWhen Player Kills Player
                                new PlayerAgent()
                            },
                            new Chats() {
                                new To() {
                                    // Procon KnowsWhen Player Chats To Server
                                    new ServerAgent(),
                                    // Procon KnowsWhen Player Chats To Group
                                    new GroupAgent()
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    new CanDo() {
                        new Chats() {
                            new To() {
                                // Procon CanDo Chats To Group
                                new ServerAgent(),
                                // Procon CanDo Chats To Group
                                new GroupAgent(),
                                // Procon CanDo Chats To Player
                                new PlayerAgent()
                            }
                        },
                        new Kills() {
                            new To() {
                                // Procon CanDo Kills to Player
                                new PlayerAgent()
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            };

This can then be polled with the following

tree.Exists(new ProconAgent(), new CanDo(), new Chats(), new To(), new GroupAgent());

You can supply it with as much detail as required, so to find out if Procon can in some form send chat to the server you would just do:

tree.Exists(new ProconAgent(), new CanDo(), new Chats());

It allows for descriptive but flexible method of a protocol implementation describing what is possible and what is known. We may be able to then shorthand this to simple "TruthBuilder", but at least the underlying functionality can be described in great detail and extended if a game comes along that has some truly unique functionality.
