PyQuest-dnd 0.1.1

A question and answer plaform that supports multiple(WIP!) terminal Q&A interactions and navigation.

PyQuest

PyQuest is a linked list based question and answer platform for your terminal. This acts very similar to quest lines where each answer correlates to specific paths Ever find yourself in need of a Q&A loop for your program? Here's the solution! Build out a JSON or YAML file with your questions and answers, choose a display and get back the answers.

Coming Features

In no particular order here are some addtional features I plan to implement. If you have a feature please request it in the issues section.

• Standard I/O based modules
• New Question and Answer Types:
  • Free Text
  • Select all that apply
  • Optional Questions
• Second Screen for Cruses based modules to print info to
• Encrypted answer templates
• Scored quests
• PyQuest Builder, to aid in mapping your quest I know the current config is messy to make manually, but I plan to make a builder to assist and visualize
