Tutorial 2 - Part 6: Configure Selfless Heroes language capabilities

For now, the player has access to all instructions to solve the level. We will restrict the language capabilities for the level by adding a CompilerConfig object to the Level object.

💡 See CompilerConfig documentation to better understand how to configure the language capabilities.

module.exports = {
  // mapConfig: ...
  // messages: ...

  compilerConfig: {
    // Exclude clone and assign statements from the language
    excludePrimary: ['clone', 'assign'],
    // There is no use for variables in this level e.g. no use for value functions (set, calc, nearest)
    valueFunctions: [],
    // Available action functions
    actionFunctions: ['step', 'take', 'drop', 'tell', 'listen'],
    // expression types available for the left part of if comparisons
    leftComparisonExpressions: ['direction', 'myitem'],
    // expression types available for the right part of if comparisons
    rightComparisonExpressions: ['direction', 'myitem', 'terrain_type', 'object_type'],
    // available terrain types
    terrainTypes: ['floor', 'wall', 'hole'],
    // available object types
    objectTypes: ['egg', 'switch', 'spikes', 'cauldron', 'nothing'],
    // number of different messages available
    messages: 3
  },

  // worldGenerator: ...
  // ruleset: ...
}

Note that the if dropdown displays its items in the same order as defined in rightComparisonExpressions, terrainTypes and objectTypes. We can make the same remark about actionFunctions which defines in which order these instructions are displayed in the instruction panel.
