# SessionZero Data System

## Layout

Data is seperated into 3 main chunks; systems, games, and datasets. Each of these work together but hold varying information.

The flow goes as such:

1. Create a System
	i. Define a character template
	ii. Define data templates
2. Create a Dataset
	i. Reference an existing system for availible templates
	ii. Create data instances based on the availible templates
3. Create a Game
	i. 'Install' an existing system
	ii. 'Install' various datasets that use the same system
	iii. Install plugins (future feature)
	iv. Create a character from the system template
	

### System:
- Character Template
- Data templates

```text
author.system_name/
- system.sz (A TOML file with metadata)
- character_template.szt (sessionzero template file)
- templates/
	- template_name.szt
```

Example `system.sz` file
```toml
id = "szcore"
display_name = "SZ Core System"
version = "1.0"
description = """
	A simple core system to base others off of
"""
```

Example `character_template.szt` file
```toml
template_type = "character"
```

### Games:
- System
- Plugins
- Datasets
- Player Data
	- Character Instances
- Gamestate/Data

### Datasets:
- Reference to a System and its templates
- Data Instance
