context

mud.core.context is home to the understood singleton, which is mutable/rewindable data store for context. It provides the information needed bu report templating, and is useful for general purpose game systems.

data can be retrieved by calling:

understood.subject()
understood.verb()
understood.scope()
understood.objects()

and set with:

understood.subject(e)
understood.verb("look")
understood.scope([])
understood.objects([z, y])

understood.previous() undoes the last alteration, and understood.reset() clears all data

#player commands have proper context.understood, 
#but this can be changed and reverted incrementally if needed
understood.subject(e)

#dispatches "print_for(a, b)" for subject, observer, 
#and "print_object_for(a, b)" for object, observer
report("[Subject] introduce[s] [itself] to [object].")

#undoes the previous subject change 
understood.previous()

report template currently supports the following tags:

[subject] 
#prints "you" when subject is the observer of report
#resolved with
call("print_for", entity, observer) 


[verb] #prints verb
[s][es] #prints s/es when subject is not the observer of report


[object]
[second object]
[third object]
[fourth object]
#resolved with
call("print_object_for", entity, observer) 

[itself][himself][herself][theirself] 
#indicates an object is same as subject (token version has no meaning)
call("print_reflexive_for", subject, observer) 

#capitalizing the first letter of a tag will capitalize the resolved string!
[Subject]
