⚄︎ 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.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

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.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Hello, I want to make an advanced Plants vs. Zombies fan-game that will use Go-to Plugin, where you can have an unlimited amount of plants, similar to Minis: a life simulator, where you can have an unlimited number of Minis.

Features/functions I need script/advanced code for

  • Two modes: Adventure Mode and Zen Garden
  • No limit on how many plants you can have, and showing information/summary about them (so I don't have to add a bunch of lists for plant information, like [plant1Info], [plant2Info], [plant3Info], and so on).
  • Use your plants in areas to let them battle/attack zombies (you will be able to use up to 45 plants in areas).
  • Plants can die if they get eaten, burnt, etc.
  • Plants can reproduce.
  • Be able to use Plant Food in Adventure Mode.

If you provide me code for the following functions/features, I will appreciate it!

What is that plugin exactly? How would it help you make such a game?

[–] VanillaFlower 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I already provided a link to that in the forum post. It's an advanced version of Goto Plugin, a plugin which can be used for making games.

[–] wthit56 1 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Yes, I just don't see how it could help you make this kind of real time game. It's made for creating choose-your-own-adventure stories. I would think it would be very difficult to get it to reproduce Plants vs Zombies. Real-time strategy is a very different kind of game to choose-your-own-adventure, and needs very different code to make it.

Sorry for a bit late response, but I want my game to be a real time strategy and a CYOA story at the same time. The Go-to Plugin will be used for choosing characters and choosing areas where you want your plants to fight zombies. I've also saw a generator with advanced code in gameplay that uses a similar plugin. Would making such a game be possible? /nm /nf /genq

[–] wthit56 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah I see. So all the stuff in your post is not intended to use the go-to plugin anyway? That's what I was confused about.

It's definitely possible. You're basically writing a web page, on a platform that also lets you use its own programming language. But JavaScript is there--and there are many complex and interesting games written using it. There are actually web versions people have made of Plants vs Zombies made on the web, using JavaScript to program it all. So it's perfectly possible, yes.

Sorry for late reply, but my game will actually use the Go-to Plugin. I know you can make a complex game without Go-to plugin, but I was just wondering if it's possible to make this game using Go-to Plugin and complex code at the same time. I said that my game will be a CYOA story and a complex game at the same time, similar to Warrior Cats Odyssey, where you choose your deputy and medicine cats using buttons (which also uses Goto Plugin, the basic version of Go-to Plugin). /gen /nm

[–] wthit56 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well you could use it for the CYOA stuff. The strategy game side of it doesn't need and wouldn't use any of the features that plugin provides, because that plugin was made for CYOA, not this kind of strategy game. So either way, you'll need to write a lot of code that has nothing to do with that Goto plugin. And trying to somehow use the Goto plugin is likely to be a lot more of a headache than just not using it for the strategy game part.

Sorry for late reply again, but I will agree with it 👍🏻
