⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Yes i literally just got it functional and have a trillion things to do before I make the plugin page look nice. BUT IT WORKS. try it there. incorporate it in to your games. make it so, after someone brings their kitty thru your long and arduous tasks, they get a score and let them enter their name and add it to your leaderboard which is on one of your tabs. stuff like that. I made it pretty easy to use I think. Uses node.js back end on Glitch and will adapt as we break it, lol. requires the barest tiniest javascript but so tiny that if you don't know js just ask how to get it on your generator.

it is highly duplicatable. if you want to make it look nicer and be the master of it's page, feel free.

literally just [leaderboard(leaderboardsettings)] to place the leaderboard and to add an entry, allo.leaderboard.add(score,name)

idk why it was removing entries that much.

  • I am wary of adding a remove option and actually commented out the clear option because it is so easily cheatable that if those were in the hands of evildoers they could just destroy your scores in an instant. at least with people adding scores via cheating, they can just be individually dealt with and haven't destroyed other's scores.
  • I had created it to have a maximum 100 scores and the lowest removed upon higher scores, so the plugin could accommodate trillions of pages without any one creating too large of a text file. But I see you have structured how you are displaying scores and adding them together and such and the initial way it was set up counteracts what you have built. So I removed the 100 maximum and also the check that a score has to be above the minimum within the top 100 to be counted. So now the leaderboard is what you are expecting for how you designed your thing.
  • maybe solved my lack of enthusiasm for building on perchance right now; i should be building on node since that is where all the moving parts for a game world should be
  • i believe the things u mentioned are fixed
