Sample script
The following is a sample script taken from my forthcoming game, Juniper
Crescent - The Sapphire Claw . This includes all the logic which controls the
dialogue choices and responses as well as some function calls - to animate
characters, for instance. The game is being developed using the Wintermute
Engine and tool set, so the script format is the one that this tool set uses.
