DESCRIPTION

Mafia.pm is a Perl extension for easily moderating Mafia games. You don't even need to know Perl to use it (see "WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW" for details).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A typical script starts with the following two lines

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Mafia;

The rest of the script is a series of function calls that describe the players and their actions.

A function call looks like this:

function_name first_argument, second_argument, ...

Each argument is either a number, a string (which is a sequence of characters between single or double quotes, such as 'badguy', 'qwrf') or a constant (such as mafia, vanilla, bulletproof).

Example calls:

player 'Somebody', mafia, goon; # player is the function, 'Somebody' is a string, mafia and goon are constants.
lynch 'Nobody'; # lynch is the function, 'Nobody' is a string.
day; # day is the function. There are no arguments.

FUNCTIONS

player name, trait, ...

Defines a new player named name and its traits (role, faction, role modifiers).

Roles: vanilla, goon, doctor, vigilante, roleblocker, jailkeeper, gunsmith, tracker, watcher, bodyguard, rolecop, cop, sk, hider.

Factions: mafia, town. townie is a synonim for town.
