Hi,
I'm trying to write my RPG adventures in org-mode and would like to bring
character sheets into that fold. Is there a way in Babel to have a vast
number of named variables that I can feed into source blocks? Are macros
the way to achieve this?
As an example, I'd like something like a big (hidden) table:
#+NAME: stats
| STR | 13 |
| DEX | 12 |
| CON | 11 |
and then later I can use that like:
#+NAME: AC
#+begin_src python :var dex=table[DEX] :var armour=table[ARMOUR]
return dex + armour
#+end_src
I know I can make explicit cell references, but it'd be neat to just use
keys for values.
Cheers,
BrettW

This is close to what you want I think.
#+TBLNAME: stats
| STR | 13 |
| DEX | 12 |
| CON | 11 |
#+BEGIN_SRC python :results value :var data=stats
d = dict(data)
return d['DEX'] + d['CON']
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 23
