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.

Rules
1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.
- The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
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-pluginandai-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.

"you could also split a prompt in to two parts and have a character and a scene and allow editing the scene prompt and character prompt separately so the same character could be generated with multiple different background scenes. very highly doable and simple codewise." may be what you are seeking and most doable, though it may not do it to the quality you want :)
does this sound like what you would like to try for first? i could make an example generator that does this :)
Ello allo!
What an amazing response, thank you for taking the time to do so.
We're totally on the same method of thinking; I'll use a kitchen scene as an example again (its also part of the story I'm writing) and within the kitchen is an old granny. What I'm hoping to achieve is a similar effect to classic animations but minus the animated character also. My plan: generate a kitchen image in a specific perspective and then use that image to further generate replica images just with different viewpoints/perspectives. Then generate the granny (say full body side profile) so shes "facing the cooker" in a kitchen backdrop. And simply overlay and position the two together. Doesn't need to be anymore technical than that. No movements etc. Next scene, same backdrop for example but now generated a granny with her back to us (but exactly the same details from the previous scene i.e. granny looks like the earlier granny) and now overlay the two differently to incorporate granny at the sink. Next scene...close up of granny at sink. So backdrop has change focus and zoomed in, so has granny but all still same features.
This is the first encounter I've had of perchance and even coding for such a thing but after discovering several plugins like 'pose' , 'physical description AI image' and 'image layer combiner' I had a good feeling what I'm looking to achieve would actually be possible. I kinda wanna go through the challenge of it a bit too as I'd like to get a deeper understanding so when I want to manipulate stuff later I have more control and greater scope of what can be achieved.
Again, really appreciate the considered response. I was looking through some posts and could see that its a lovely community. :)
many thanks, Sam
my suggestion is: start having fun with perchance :)
i made this with you in mind https://perchance.org/astartforyou to explain at least a little :)
i love your learning attitude and that you yourself are growing :)
I hope you find perchance an avenue in to coding :)
Yeah, I also hope so 😊
Also @Alllo, the starter generator is pretty neat, just need some code refinements so more people that are new to Perchance can understand it better 😄
haha 'code refinements' = story of my life
that literally was my best attempt at making a starter thing lol
i tried to go over every line with care and make the html simple and exact.
funny you immediately notice im a noob anyway, lol!
you could always go over it and refine it as you see it to it's next better state :)
@Alllo Every time I woke up, I immediately saw your post or reply at some time, then if I wanted to reply with that, I'll do that. Definitely will take a look at the code at some point and maybe transform it into my own entire generator 😄
Thanks guys, this is greatly appreciated :) I'm going to sink my teeth in and try and get up to speed a bit (well, maybe a hurried walk, or a jog in fact. Not quite speed! lol)
Thank you too. Its really lovely to see such welcoming people. For me, I'm super keen to explore the possibilities/capabilities of these incredible tools. Also I'm super aware that to do that requires a thorough understanding which I am most definitely without! I find it interesting when first starting something like this. Everything is so alien. Nothing fully makes sense. Slowly the picture starts to becomes clearer and you begin to see the possibilities growing. 👍
You're welcome @mindblown! There are lots of examples and sources that can help you learn about creating Perchance generators, not just image generations:

Great stuff, thank you! So I think I'm going to wrap my head around the elements Im looking to utilise and give myself priority learning topics (theres a lot of random generator stuff that I wont be using, lists etc). I built a 3D printer many moons ago and so had to dive in to visual studio and python so I have a very limited understanding of coding, certainly not html specific, but I get the premise. What I'm mindful of is not loosing sight of what Im also looking to achieve. I all to easily follow rabbit holes and lose track of the main objective 😂
The Perchance Hub - Learn Tab also has couple of articles that might also be useful for learning.
Thank you 👍 As I say, Im going to see if I can setup a local and then start learning and developing what Ill specifically need for my project. I don't need to get absorbed in all facets of SD just yet. and generally as things move along more comes in to light and I'll swat up on the hoof. I like to know what Im doing or what things do rather than just blind copy and paste, so I'll use the elements I use to teach me
Ive just opened this one up....thank you. That Artist list of yours is a bloody handy addition! 👍
Thank you for your support. Its really surreal how coding has entered back in to the journey....Its a story for another time. Really excited to see what wonders will be discovered along the way
