# Clyde Dialogue Language for JavaScript/TypeScript
[](https://coveralls.io/github/viniciusgerevini/clyde-js?branch=master)
> Clyde is a language for writing game dialogues. It supports branching, translations and interfacing with your game through variables and events.
You can play with the online editor [here](https://viniciusgerevini.github.io/clyde-js/).
Here is a simple dialogue:
```
The Wolf: Jimmie – lead the way, boys – get to work.
Vincent: A "please" would be nice.
The Wolf: Come again?
Vincent: I said a "please" would be nice.
The Wolf: Get it straight, Buster. I'm not here to
say "please."I'm here to tell you what to
do. And if self-preservation is an
instinct you possess, you better f****n'
do it and do it quick. I'm here to help.
If my help's not appreciated, lotsa luck
gentlemen.
Jules: It ain't that way, Mr. Wolf. Your help is
definitely appreciated.
Vincent: I don't mean any disrespect. I just don't
like people barkin' orders at me.
The Wolf: If I'm curt with you, it's because time is
a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I
need you guys to act fast if you want to
get out of this. So pretty please, with
sugar on top, clean the f****n' car.
```
This dialogue results in something like this:
This is just a simple example. There are many features not included above, like branching, variations, tags and ids.
You can read the complete language definition with examples on [LANGUAGE.md](https://github.com/viniciusgerevini/clyde/blob/main/LANGUAGE.md).
## Tools in this repository
### Interpreters and parsers
There are three Node libraries which can be used to play with this language:
[@clyde-lang/parser](./parser): Parses Clyde strings to JSON.
[@clyde-lang/interpreter](./interpreter): An interpreter that can be used by Node and web applications.
[@clyde-lang/cli](./cli): CLI tool for executing, parsing and debugging Clyde dialogues.
### Online Editor and Interpreter

## More
There are other tools like a Godot plugin and syntax highlighting. Check the language [repository](https://github.com/viniciusgerevini/clyde) for more tools.
