⚄︎ 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.

omg i forgot to even say. another thing while i was making distance quest is i initially tried to do it with the normal spinning wheel but had multiple issues. most noticeably, someone can keep touching the wheel right before it stops to start it spinning again and basically spin it 'until it hits what they want'. So here is this: https://perchance.org/wheel-plugin-a1 Distance Quest uses wheel a1 and is why the wheels are safe from cheating. also has onfinish or onstart or something like that. i did a few things to it and also changed syntax because i found the initial syntax for onStart or onFinish (whichever it had initially) unwieldy and since i had to reroute one of them to complete the anticheating mechanism, i just made them both onStart and onFinish. So it is neither a wheel that functions identically to the original, nor is it exactly backwards compatible, but may be better if you are trying to make something competitive where you don't want cheating. also has the color picker on the plugin page

Oh nice, you're thinking about avoiding cheats too? 😃

Well, a bug happened. When I clicked the wheel while the images are still loading, this bug happened, and I can't click on any of the wheels after that.

I think it's fixed because clicking as fast as I can as they appear I can no longer trigger the bug thank you
