Library for Implementing C# Commands

LICC is a tool for parsing console commands in C#. You simply add an attribute to a method, and that method becomes a command.

[Command]
static void SayRepeating(string text, int repetitions = 1)
{
    if (repetitions < 1)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(repetitions), 1);
    
    for (int i = 0; i < repetitions; i++)
        LConsole.WriteLine(text);
}

LICC can now parse command text input as a call to that method, like so:

> sayrepeating "hello world!"
hello world

> sayrepeating "and another one" 5
and another one
and another one
and another one
and another one
and another one

> sayrepeating boobs -1
ArgumentOutOfRangeException: the argument 'repetitions' must be at least 1

LICC provides a static class which parses command text input. You have to implement a LICC frontend yourself, providing a method of input and output for the user.

If you want to use LICC in your command-line project, check out LICC the Console, an open-source LICC frontend for the system console.

LICC was created for the game Logic World, where the console frontend in this repo is used in the standalone server application. We have also developed a LICC frontend for the Unity game engine called Fancy Pants Console which will eventually be open sourced.
