public class ConsoleCommandRouter : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
var repo = ConsoleCommandsRepository.Instance;
repo.RegisterCommand("hi", Hi);
repo.RegisterCommand("save", Save);
repo.RegisterCommand("load", Load);
}
public string Hi(params string[] args) {
return "Hey there yourself!";
}
public string Save(params string[] args) {
var filename = args[0];
//
// [insert code here saving the game to that filename]
//
return "Saved to " + filename;
}
public string Load(params string[] args) {
