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.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

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-plugin and ai-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.

[dev] New text model is still quite bad sorry - working on it (lemmy.world)

I didn't expect it to take this long for me to get the new text model under control. It's much more intelligent in general, but the repetition and random fixations can get surprisingly bad.

Sorry about that. This is just a heads up that I'm still working on it, and it'll likely remain a bumpy ride for the next couple of months.

Thanks to those who have complained here and on reddit, especially the posts that give concrete examples of issues, and attempted workarounds, etc.

Please do keep posting any issues/discoveries, ideally with share links to give me specific examples that I can test.

Other news:

  • I'm still working on the next image gen update, and am hoping it will improve fine details, text rendering, and overall image quality. It should also be about 2x faster. If all goes well (which, from experience, it won't) I should be able to get that done in the next month or so.

  • For a long time I've been very close to shipping a multiplayer plugin and database plugin. I've actually made multiple 'ready to ship' draft plugins of both, but have been disatisfied with the design and ended up not publishing each time. Using these plugins won't trigger ads on the generator, so I need to be really careful about the overall architecture to ensure the the servers for them are dirt-cheap to run. I also want to make them fun/simple to use of course. Once I get text and images stable, I'm going to focus on these two plugins and finally get them done.

i choose elf sorcerer. you choose orc ninja. we enter room and there r 10 badguys. i shoot lazerbeam. what do you do?

hence multiplayer. It is the thing currently lacking with ai games. personally, i tried making games and asked ai to build some cool stuff from management games to rpgs, strategy, and racing games. but eventually i stopped because there's only so much fun they can be since they all were singleplayer. They become just simulations one person can do until bored.

Multiplayer allows competition, socialness, and infinite playability. I think it will be difficult to incorporate multiplayer plugins in a nonhackable way, since sufficiently knowledgeable ppl can often just open up teh console and run custom scripts. Thats the problem i had when i tried to make a leaderboard plugin functional on perchance. But, if Perchance has a good solution, Multiplayer functionality essentially 'opens up' the next era of Perchance Games; especially if the ai understands how to incorporate the multiplayer plugin as it currently does with ai image plugin. Tbh tho im not sure unhackability is possible since the solution i know of is to have 'the brains' of the game be on a server that players can query and interact with but cant directly manipulate. So we may or may not have to settle for hackable games. i do not know.

I have not checked teh ai coder ai recently, but if Perchance makes a legit multiplayer plugin, ai code assist understands it, and ai code assist is top tier updated, imo Perchance will be one of the coolest creative spaces on teh internet for people, including those with no code experience at all, to make browser games.

Even just a game where each player can have a car, choose a crew, and then the page simulates a race, would instantly become one of the most fun pages on perchance. Especially with database storage so progress is keepable instead of wiped. Idk exactly how it would work yet because each page would need the option of basically being it's own little server. It's definitely possible tho, since each page is part of a bigger server ecosystem already.

anyway, those just some thoughts. im curious to see where it goes as much as teh rest of u
