-- Defines a "language" for defining zones.
-- Note how in the call to the zone function we take advantage of an interesting
-- bit of Lua syntax: if the sole argument to a function is a (literal) table or string,
-- then the parenthesis for the function call are optional.
--

--
-- What sort of error-proofing can you think to add to this function?
-- How can we modify this function to handle _lots_ of zone settings without
-- having it become long and tedious?
function zone(zone_data)
	zdex = add("zone", zone_data.name)
	if zone_data.thermal then set("zone.thermal", zdex, zone_data.thermal) end
	if zone_data.color then set("zone.color", zdex, zone_data.color) end
	if zone_data.system then set("zone.system", zdex, zone_data.system) end
	if zone_data.activity then set("zone.activity", zdex, zone_data.activity) end
	return zdex
end



-- Note we can "hide" the above function definition (and others)
-- by sticking them in a different file and then just including the file.
-- this allows us to have our "data definition" files look quite clean and simple.
