Hi Remi,
Here's a bit of wiki syntax that will generate a table that works as an
Interaction Matrix:
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td style="width:1%"> </td>
<$list filter="[tag[entity]sort[]]" variable="col">
<td style="width:1%"><$link to=<<col>>>''<<col>>''</$link></td>
</$list>
</tr>
<$list filter="[tag[entity]sort[]]" variable="row">
<tr>
<td style="width:1%"><$link to=<<row>>>''<<row>>''</$link></td>
<$list filter="[tag[entity]sort[]]" variable="col">
<td style="width:1%">
<$transclude tiddler=<<row>> index=<<col>>>X</$transclude>
</td>
</$list>
</tr>
</$list>
</table>
To populate the table, create tiddlers tagged with "entity". In each
tiddler, set the "type" to "application/x-tiddler-dictionary" and then
enter lines of text using "name: text...." format, where the name is the
title of another entity tiddler, and the text is the description of the
interaction with that entity. Something like this:
sidewall:
ball: when ball touches sidewall, ball bounces (reverse x-vector)
paddle: when paddle touches sidewall, paddle breaks for 5 seconds
frontwall:
ball: when ball touches frontwall, ball bounces (reverse y-vector)
paddle: when paddle touches frontwall, paddle breaks for 5 seconds
floor:
ball: when ball touches floor, ball bounces (reverse z-vector)
paddle:
ball: when ball touches paddle, ball bounces back in opposite direction
That should do it.
enjoy,
