Idea 1

We have a basic counter for good and evil deeds. When the player does a good thing we increment the good counter. When the player does an evil thing we increment the evil counter.

Should we call this karma?

good_counter = 0 # goes up when we do good

evil_counter = 0 # goes up when we do evil

future ideas

We can make the good/evil dichotomy more granular if we wish:

empathy_counter = 0 # go up when we are empathetic

theft_counter = 0 #

violence_counter = #

friendship_counter = #

greed

gluttony

courage

bravery

honor

peace
