this is just a sketch, the idea is to output a makefile or ninja-build that can be run with make/ninja and build an ags game using the command line tools and the game Game.agf project file. My goal for ninja is it is a nicely self contained executable that could be shipped easily, but I guess some people may prefer make so I thought to come up with some general "architecture" with the idea that there could be some code reuse but this didn't happen for real yet.
Note this can't actually build a game yet since some necessary tools don't exist yet.
Consider the code a huge sketch. Most of the comments are from my thought process.
We can decide we don't want this, but writing this helped me understand all the necessary steps to build a game with command line tools and exercise what is written in the wiki (see https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/wiki/AGS-Game-Build-process-(3.5.*)).
