About how to work... mostly as the tutorials work now. What is most important for me is to make it simple to use as in time people can add their own books. There is a huge amount of stuff to be written/put in the Library.. ships, subs, famous captains, strategy etc So I will try to think of a simple bookshelf where the books can be sorted in categories, like the tutorials now. /brb
It sounds like you want Automation to do the heavy lifting for you The easiest way to do something like this and to keep it like the tutorial feature would be to use Automation. Just thinking out loud here but the user would define a .SHA (Automation file) that would have one command in it - DisplayLibraryBook (and that command would list the book to 'play'). By defining an Automation command one can specify the Category and Subcategory that the Automation file falls under. When the user then runs this Automation file in Automation, Automation calls up the interface you posted earlier and 'plays' the library file specified in the DisplayLibraryBook command.
