#initiative

A D&D assistant comprised of a tool to display on a player facing monitor and a control tool for running combat.

#client

When opened, the client reads a config from: XDG_CONFIG_HOME/initiative/client.toml. An example is included in this repo.

You can then add new entries by typing n, delete with x, navigate up/down with j/k, enter initiative by typing a number, and when you're ready enter battle mode with enter.

Entering battle mode sends the sorted list of combatants to the server and Highlights the first combatants. While in battle mode, pressing enter or j will move to the next combatant and pressing backspace or k will move to the previous one.

#server

When opened, the client reads a config from: XDG_CONFIG_HOME/initiative/server.toml. An example is included in this repo.

The server listens on :6666 and uses a simple plain text TCP protocol. Each command follows the form: <command>,<option>,<option>...\n.

#start

Sets the display variable, runs optional commands (such as turning on a monitor) and opens the window.

#battle,<combatant>...

Displays a list of combatants.

#highlight,<index>

Highlights a combatant by the 0 indexed list of combatants.

#end

Closes the window and runs optional commands (such as turning off a monitor), but leaves the server listening.
