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.

- 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
andai-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.

So, in Perchance there are two places to put codes in, the Lists Panel and the HTML Panel
Most of the time, you 'import' a 'plugin' on the Lists Panel e.g.
So, to see the code of the
text-to-image-plugin
you go to the perchance.org/text-to-image-plugin.In your example, you are importing the
text-to-image-plugin
,pose-generator-simple
andverb
generators. Then to see their code, you just add those 'names' to the 'perchance.org/{name}' to see their code.By Default, all generators in Perchance can be imported and the imported data can be specified.
On the
text-to-image-plugin
it would only output the$output(...) =>
which is a function, then to use it on your generator it would be[image(...)]
since the output of thetext-to-image-plugin
is a function, and you imported it into the namespaceimage
(image = {import:text-to-image-plugin}
).Im finding your physical description v2 image generator really interesting to analyse 👍
And it all becomes instantly clearer. Thank you 😀👍
maybe this minimal example will help :)

Woah that is minimal indeed! ;) Its cool though man I understand whats happening now. I presumed all plugins were programmed using jscript so didn't make the connection that the generators were indeed "plugins" themselves. It totally makes sense now. 👍
and besides...I've no time for plugins...I'm elbow deep with KhanAcademy drawing ellipse's 😂 😂
I've jumped on that KhanAcadamy course to help fill in blanks I'm unaware of 👍
