EasyDialogue is a browser-based tool that simplifies creating and managing dialogues for games, featuring an intuitive UI for easy dialogue editing and JSON import/export.

Introduction

EasyDialogue is a lightweight application designed to simplify the creation and management of interactive dialogue systems for games and other applications. It features an intuitive interface for adding, deleting, and rearranging dialogue entries, with support for color-coded speakers and exporting/importing dialogues in JSON format.

Prerequisites

Please install Git for your operating system. Please ensure Git is available for execution by running:

git --version

If Git is unavailable, please find a tutorial for installing and using Git. That's beyond the scope of this.

Installation

To get started with EasyDialogue, simply clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/cleverNamesAreHard/EasyDialogue.git

Navigate to the cloned directory and open index.html in your web browser to start using the dialogue generator.

Usage

EasyDialogue is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly:

• Open index.html: Just open the index.html file in any modern web browser.
• Create Dialogues: Use the provided form to input the speaker's name and their message. Press 'Send' to add the dialogue to the session.
• Manage Dialogues: You can rearrange dialogues by dragging and dropping, and delete any dialogue using the [Delete] button next to it.
• Save/Load Dialogues: Use the export button to save your session to a JSON file, or the import button to load an existing session from a JSON file.

This tool runs entirely in your browser, making it an excellent choice for quick, local development of game dialogues without the need for any servers or complex setups.
