What's the name of the concept of scripting in a Sim/RTS type of game?

[edit]
I've just remembered that my PGD Challenge entry Momen3D includes it's own mission script system, much like the one you're asking for. Download it from here and look at file src/mission.pas, function ParseFile, lines 191...650. It looks big and complex but it is actually quite simple, as it is divided in sub-routines for each task.

To see how the mission script files looks like, just see file bin/data/missions/default/tuto.md

I've downloaded your code and

sudo apt install liballegro5

but for some reason it's not able to initialise the allegro stuff.

Any hints on how to debug it?

Cheers,
Gus
