In case any of you feel like trying this out/testing it. Here are direct download links for both the windows executables and the precompiled python source (will hopefully work on both linux and mac machines) latest versions of both the mapData interpreter/engine, and the newer app that lets you generate content by answering questions, typing content, etc. via a command line app, etc.: Windows executable (run mapData.exe): http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData/mapData_dist.zip
Python compiled source (mapData.pyc): http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData/mapData_pyc.zip windows executable for content generator (run mapDataGenerator.exe): http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData/mapDataGenerator_dist.zip Python compiled source for content generator (mapDataGenerator.pyc): http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData/mapDataGenerator_pyc.zip You'll also see that if you tell the generator to save a map, then aside from reloading it next time you want to carry on editing/adding on to it, it will also ask if you want to generate an 'encrypted' version, which can then be shared with other guys without them off-hand being able to view the content thereof, so that they can run the content by specifying an additional command line syntax of map=fileNameEnc (which leaves out the .txt part of the file name) alright, but still won't off-hand be able to see what's then in the contents of that file beforehand, but anyway. Also means in mapDataGenerator, if you tell it to load a file, and then tell it to load mapData, you'll be able to edit the map etc. therein. This is also still just me testing/playing around with/trying out working in python, so if you want to test it, don't expect it to be amazing in any sense, and both apps come with my test content file, mapData.txt, so you can see the form of content it will save/generate, in an unencrypted form if you want, and this is also the default file that mapData executable will try to find/execute if just running it, but anyway. Can also not promise there won't be any bugs/issues, or that all prompts are complete enough since I myself know what it wants as answers, so may have missed out on making it tell you everything as such, but anyway.
