⚄︎ 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.

so, long story short, there was a fantastic generator on wizardawn and mag that got taken down because their new server couldn't do something with their old code or somesuch. they have made all that old code available to people who want to manually run the old website on their computers, but my computer can't run it.

i have the php code for the specific generator i want, is perchance able to do something with php code or do i need to pull all the relevent text out and reformat it entirely?

Unfortunately I don't think there is a converter from PHP to the Perchance Syntax currently, so you might need to reformat it entirely.

I can try to help remaking it. You can DM me or post the PHP code so people can try to also check it out. I'm not well-versed with PHP, but if it just contains a couple lists of items and how it templates the output, I might be able to make a Perchance generator with it.

i am pretty sure i can handle it, its just lists, but its a bunch and i was hoping i could essentially drag and drop or find and replace...

but thank you for the offer

Alright no problem,if you have any questions/need any help feel free to post here 😁

semi unrelated, is there a place where i can look up the syntax for drop down menus that modify things further in the generator?

Here on the examples page, on the user inputs section.

Most of it are using HTML and JavaScript.
