Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ 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.

[Fluff] Made Some Animations of How Perchance Works (self.perchance)

Recently made these animations of how the Perchance Engine transforms the Perchance Syntax to Randomly Generated Texts.

These are made with using Motion Canvas. It is an open-source animation library that allows its users to 'code' their video. Feel free to check out the website to learn more about it.

These might be useful for visualizing how Perchance works.

Very nice!! This got me thinking about what an ideal perchance "debugger" tool would look like. I bet it'd look kinda like your animations - where each time you click the "step" button, it does one "evaluation" step - basically the same as the steps that your animation shows (with a little hover box showing relevant variables before each step, and the ability to "step into" a square block, which scrolls you to the relevant list, just like stepping into a function with the normal code debuggers). One day...

Added a link to the first one on the /welcome page!

Also, @[email protected], btw, feel free to use perchance.org/upload for stuff like this - to ensure that the stuff you make stays around forever. Same with imgur images in your tutorials - they've recently started deleting images under certain conditions, so I've updated all the relevant plugins (e.g. image layer combiner, background image, etc.) to recommend using perchance.org/upload instead, which will never delete content

Please do let me know if there are any problems with perchance.org/upload that make it less-than ideal (e.g. upload limits too low, UX, etc.) and I will fix ASAP
