Besides tagged ansible playbooks, each adaptive game needs a few config files to work.
The config files are mostly YAML lists and dicts.
`assistant.py` looks for config files in the `resources/` folder.
The needed files are:
- `levels.yml`
- `hints.yml`
- `level_keys.yml`
- `level_requirements.yml`
- `tools.yml`
There are sample config files present in the `resources/` folder.
(These are the files I created for the game I used in my thesis.)
## levels.yml
`levels.yml` tells the Game object what possible levels are in the game, what Ansible tags
are needed for that level, and what machines need changes done.
Each line of the file should be in the the following format:
`level_name: {branch_name: [machines_to_provision]}`
`branch_name` is not just the name of the branch, but also the Ansible tag used to provision the level.
### level_keys.yml
`level_keys.yml` is a dictionary of the level flags for the flag checker.
The keys should be in the following format:
`level_name: flag`
## level_requirements.yml
`level_requirements.yml` is the list of requirements for the level selector.
The requirements should be in the following format:
`level_name: [[branch_name, requirements]]`
where `requirements` is either `null` or `[time, tool]`
e.g. `level2: [[level2a, null], [level2b, [10, "SQL injection"]]]`
`null` requirement means that this is the "default" version of the level.
`[time, tool]` means that the player must know `tool` and have time less than `time`.
The `tools` are expected to also be listed in `tools.yml`.
## tools.yml
`tools.yml` is a list of tools that the assistant will ask the player about before they play the game.
If the player is familiar with a tool, they may be sent to a harder version of a level by the level selector.
This file may also contain tools that do not appear in the game.
## hints.yml
`hints.yml` contains all the hints the player can receive, and should have the following format:
`level_name: level+branch name: hint title: hint text`
As hints are usually long, the sample file uses indentation to make the file better readable.
