Creating a Random Generator on Perchance

To develop a random generator on Perchance, you need to set up lists and reference these lists within an output section. For example:

output
  Your \[pack\] contains \[item\], \[item\] and \[item\].

item
  a few coins
  an old \{silver|bronze\} ring
  a handkerchief
  a shard of bone
  some lint
  a tin of tea leaves

pack
  purse
  backpack
  bag
  pack
  knapsack
  rucksack

In this setup, whenever \[pack\] is invoked, it will select a random item from the pack list. You can modify the lists and syntax according to your specific needs.

Adjusting Item Likelihood

To change the probability of certain items being selected, you can assign weights. For instance:

pack
  purse
  backpack ^2
  bag

In this configuration, backpack will be twice as likely to appear as other items in the pack list.

Importing Other Generators

Perchance allows the import of external generators using the import: syntax. Example:

sentence
  I need a new \{import:noun\}.
  Quickly, \{import:verb\}!

noun
  car
  house
  book

verb
  run
  jump
  swim

This example integrates random noun and verb from other generators into new sentences.

Modifying Text Formatting

Perchance supports text formatting options like:

sentence
  \[name.titleCase\], can you hear me?
  HELLO, \[name.upperCase\]!

name
  patricia
  khalid
  anaya

Here, titleCase and upperCase functions alter the capitalization of names.

Sharing and Embedding Generators

Generators can be shared by providing their URL. To embed a generator in a website, use the following <iframe> tag:

<iframe src="https://null.perchance.org/my-generator-name" style="width:100%; height:600px; border:none;"></iframe>

Additionally, you can download the generator as an HTML file for offline access or convert it into a Twitter or Tumblr bot.
