Overview

The dialogue engine drives the conversations between player and NPCs.

Dependencies

Widget set and User Interface for parts other than lowlevel code

Requirements

Mainly needs be ported from v0.3 branch to v0.4 (done)
Only lowlevel functionality implemented in the game engine (done)
GUI should be written in Python, to allow modifications by game authors
GUI should contain history of conversation
GUI should display NPC (and possibly player) portrait
Player's choices should be numbered from 1 to n

Suggestions

Would like to be able to use arrow keys for scrolling around windows. The current bindings to the arrow keys could become part of the numpad. Or perhaps use holding down middle mouse button for panning the screeen.
