collect-layout-data.py

#
#   Declan Reid 2024
#
#   This is a simple script to collect all the data from a
#   layout file in a format usable in scripts.
#
#   To run this script, invoke it from the root of the repo as such:
#   $ python3 scripts/collect-layout-data.py src/layouts/{scene}.json
#   For example:
#   $ python3 scripts/collect-layout-data.py src/layouts/city.json
#   This will generate a new version of the file in the root of the repo.
#   You can then open this file and use the data to your heart's content.
#


#
#   THIS SCRIPT IS NOT COMPLETE, BUT IS FUNCTIONAL IN SOME FORM
