Python APL Converter: APL text to C++ code

Usage: >python ConvertAPL.py -i path/to/input/file -o path/to/output/file -s spec

-i input file documentation

The input file can be any text file type, but must only contain APL commands (actions=..., actions+=/..., actions.bla+=/, etc.) and APL comments (# This is a comment).

Example:

actions=auto_attack
# Only use Obliterate if it will not waste runic power
actions+=/obliterate,if=runic_power.deficit>=20
actions+=/run_action_list,name=spenders
actions.spenders=frost_strike

DO NOT use with a full profile (character definition, sim options, etc.) or things will break.

-o output file documentation

The output file has to be an already existing file, that contains a C++ method named after the 'spec' argument surrounded with //<spec>_apl_start and //<spec>_apl_end comments, where the generated APL code will be placed.

Example:

//frost_apl_start
void frost( player_t* p )
{
  action_priority_list_t* default_ = p->get_action_priority_list( "default" );
  action_priority_list_t* spenders = p->get_action_priority_list( "spenders" );

  default_->add_action( "auto_attack" );
  default_->add_action( "obliterate,if=runic_power.deficit>=20", "Only use Obliterate if it will not waste runic power" );
  default_->add_action( "run_action_list,name=spenders" );

  spenders->add_action( "frost_strike" );
}
//frost_apl_end

-s spec documentation

The final argument 'spec' has to be a member of specList, defined in ConvertAPL.py
