Interpreting commands (#) from outside (game developer)

[BlackRam-oss]

Commands are "the lines that start with #. Currently commands are "interpreted" by the convertListStringToObj function. This function transforms a command string into an array of strings (checking for double spaces, double quotes, single quotes, etc.), and then from the array makes a set of if statements to understand the command.

duration 3 name "C J" surname Smith position "{ x: 2, y 3 }"

["duration", "3", "x", "2", "y", "3", "name", "C J", "surname", "Smith", "position", "{ x: 2, y 3 }"]

if it is not a known command it ignores it.

the developer should be given the possibility to insert his own commands or modify the existing ones.

to do this you need to add the possibility to set a function that takes as input an array of strings (duration 3 name "C J" surname Smith position "{ x: 2, y 3 }") and returns a boolean (if it is true then it means that the command is known)

this function should be run in convertListStringToObj if it returns true then it will not check the array otherwise it will continue
