YouHaveATree

YouHaveATree is a visual aid for text snipped organization and nesting.

It is specifically developed for Choose Your Own Adventure and Interactive Fiction drafting.

Made in Godot 3.0.

• Planned Features:
• ~~Return button goes back up to the previous tree.~~ DONE
• ~~A list of all trees in the current project. By folder/name.~~ DONE
• Tooltips. Maybe.
• Allow the undoing of node Deletion.
• Saving of .tree files in a human readable, and easily editable, format. NEARLY DONE

Usage:

• In the initial File dialoge. Select where you project will be stored. Or open an existing project by selecting the folder with its root.tree file.
• Use Shift + click and CTRL + click to place nodes.
• The bar in the top right indicates autosave status. The active tree is saved after one second of inactivity, and when closing the application (the normal way).
• WindowNodes (spawned with CTRL + click) point to other trees. When you click them the first time, select a .tree file in your project to link the node to. (If the file does not exist, this will create it.) TODO: Remove the "are you sure popup".
• You can rearranged nodes in the Tree by dragging their header.
• You can create connections by dragging from an outgoing (right) slot, to an ingoing (left) slot. Do the same in reverse to remove connections.
