Scenario Editor

[masnare]

I am interested in writing a C#.NET GUI for editing scenarios and I am wondering if you might be willing to share the scanner and LL(1) parser for the scripting language used for scenarios.  I would like to be able to load existing scenarios and check them for grammar errors.  Is this something you would be willing to share?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, Mike but no. It's not a matter of willingness. That code is proprietary (not just to Frog City but to Take2 Interactive) and cannot be made public.

No problem, I understand.  Could you then direct me to a parser/scanner pair ala flex/bison (lex/yacc) that are both free and windows compatible, so I can roll my own?

Thanks again,
Mike

You could choose to use flex/bison under Windows. I find the Gems books (Game Programming Gems 1-3 and AI Programming Gems) to be a valuable resource. Game Programming Gems 2 has source code for a free lexer in the article "A Flexible Text Parsing System."
