I think I already know the answer, but I thought I should ask anyway in case I missed it somewhere.

Is there a way to repeat lines of script other than the tedious process of repetition?  I'm trying to make a shuffle type sequence and it is getting quite cumbersome.

That's what I thought.  Sooooo, another stupid question:  Is it even possible to set game variables using JavaScript?

@BradinDvorak ?

Yeah, Excuse_Me's code was just to put the whole game on one page, though.  I don't think it really interacted with CYS script.

I've thought of ways to do that, but the best I can come up with is filling a page with various variable-changing links and using JavaScript to determine which one to follow. It's difficult to integrate the two languages in that way, because JavaScript runs in realtime, whereas CYS code runs only when a page is loaded.

If you have a couple dozen or so different variables containing unique values and you wanted to shuffle (randomize) them ... it would lead to more possible combinations (links) than I'd care to create.

Daaaang!  My simple script so far would be equivalent to "cutting cards" in various ways depending on a random seed and it is almost 400 lines long already.  I'm doing all the coding by hand and it's causing me loads of frustration.  I might have to abandon my project, but at least it's good practice.

I might try to come up with something like that (unless you're willing to share?), but I'm really rusty.  I haven't programmed anything in well over a decade, I believe.

Geez!  I just did a quick calculation of a simpler method than the one I was aspiring to and it would be 2700 lines of script.  The one I was working on would be at least five times that!  XD

I may have to figure out an easier solution...
