Since you're going through all the trouble anyway: it can be done with JS. Add a counter/iterative to the following script to get no repeats; and obviously name/format the output however you want.


<script>
var kappa = new Array()

kappa[kappa.length] = "A"

kappa[kappa.length] = "B"

kappa[kappa.length] = "C"

kappa[kappa.length] = "D"

kappa[kappa.length] = "E"

kappa[kappa.length] = "F"

kappa[kappa.length] = "G"

document.write("<p>"+kappa[Math.floor(kappa.length*Math.random())]+"</p>")
</script>

yeah on global page and pagescript dialogues you can do $PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "[html garbage]"

Something like this?

Note I haven't read the article or your post, I'm just taking a wild guess.

^Yeah that consarnit!

Yeah, that's a step by step example of what I mentioned below (forgot that was done already lol).

This is an interesting situation where you're mixing actual randomness with what you need to implement. What you should do is "shuffle" the list in the beginning, have an index variable, then increment that each time, presenting the user with a new text each time. I do something along those lines in my card game:

#Then shuffle them
#---------------Card1
%RAND := 1D48
IF %RAND = 1 THEN
BEGIN
%TEMP := %CARD1
%CARD1 := %CARD1
%CARD1 := %TEMP
END
IF %RAND = 2 THEN
BEGIN
%TEMP := %CARD2
%CARD2 := %CARD1
%CARD1 := %TEMP
END

Thing is, you have to do this for each "phrase", which already has a predetermined value. Effectively, you go through your existing list, which are all set to your predetermined values, and switch them. By the time you reach the end, you have a randomized list. In your case, you would then use your index, to set the current value, to whatever the "phrase" matching the index number is.

So in your case, 200 things have to be shuffled and each time given 1 of 200 options.

No you're right. I used a script to generate the code involved actually haha. My shuffle code is 13971 lines long.

Yours would be ~240200 I think.

I mean you're just making lines. A python script printing the results to a file that goes along the lines of.

for(x=0;x<200;x++)
{
for(y=0;y<200;y++)
{
println(IF %RAND = y THEN)
println(BEGIN)
println(%TEMP := %CARDX)
println(%CARDX := %CARDY)
println(%CARDY := %TEMP)
println(END)
}
}

Obviously this isnt python syntax, but you get the idea. Its worth remembering i went all the way to the end for true randomness. You could stop before then if you just need it to be "mostly" random.

End already posted the only reasonable solution.

I do like fishing minigames in most things that have them.

You'd only need 20100 lines with my method.

Lies! You'd need at least 20200!
