explorationViewer 0.3

Tool for interactively visualizing decision graphs produced by the 'exploration' module. By default runs a local HTTP server to serve an HTML file and opens that file in the browser.

ExplorationViewer

Overview

This program provides an interactive HTML visualization platform for data produced by the exploration module, most notably exploration.core.Exploration and explortion.core.DecisionGraph objects. It is partially based on the dewlight visualizer for literary character interaction graphs.

Dependencies:

Just Python version 3.10+ (might work on lower versions; probably not below 3.6). You will also need the exploration library (although a static copy of that library is included and used for the web stuff).

Installing

Just run pip install explorationViewer. This will install several dozen megabytes of pyodide support files since the viewer uses Python-in-the-browser.

Getting Started:

Running python -m explorationViewer should launch a web server and via that open the viewer HTML file in your default web browser. It will load an example exploration but you can use the in-page controls to load another file of your choice.

TODO: Support providing a filename on the command line.

Changelog

• v0.3 fixed missing resources directory; got file URLs working on Windows.
