BooBoo is a mini language with a simple, but powerful game API.

To run the examples, run ./BooBoo <path/to/data/> or just run BooBoo
to get a launcher (point the launcher to where there is a data/
directory from a BooBoo game or a data.cpa from one.) Press F12 to
exit, F11 to toggle fullscreen.

data/ in the root of the distribution is the default launcher. You can
replace it with your own to autolaunch your game.

Many of the games only read joystick input, but fudge some keys into
joystick events... so the keys are arrows and z/x.

Your data/ directory can be compressed into data.cpa with compress_dir.
Just enter data/ and run it, and it will create ../data.cpa.

--

shim5.json can be put in any data/ directory or you can override
those by placing one in:

Windows:
	%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\BooBoo


io_scene_x_goobliata is a model import/export for blender 2.78 which
supports armatures/animations. Unfortunately I don't have one for recent
Blender yet.

You can obfuscate code with the +obfuscate switch. Examples:

> ./BooBooCLI dragonslayer.boo +obfuscate
> ./BooBoo town +obfuscate > foo.boo

You can put a list of function names not to obfuscate in a text file
and add +no-obfuscate <filename> to your command line arguments.

The portrait example uses a screenshot from the game Broken Pearl
