Script editor aims to visualise all dialogue inside a Renpy game in a more intuitive format. Instead of reading through a monolithic file that is interspersed with dialogue, conditionals, menus and inline python/Renpy scripts, visualise your game as a colourful node graph.

Run "./Renpy Script Parser.exe" --dir [your_directory].
By default it will parse the directory it is located in. This means you can run "./Renpy Script Parser" while you are in your RenPy project directory.
Each node is visually distinct from another node to represent a different building block of your Renpy script, and each connection indicates a flow of execution into another node. Conditional statements and menus will branch off into different nodes to represent a branch in your story.
Another feature is linking between different labels in your script. Renpy scripts use labels to control flow using jump or call directives to start executing at the label. By doubling clicking on a jump or call node, you will be taken to the corresponding label node, whether it be in the same file or different file. Files can also be inspected in the node editor from the file explorer as well. This way, you can easily map out the flow and branches of your story in a visually intuitive manner.
