Procedural Generation: Example - History Generation

<<silently>> <<set _contents to Story.get("Reign Event")>> <<set _passageText to _contents.text>> <<set _splitContents to _passageText.split("\n")>> <<set _randomNumber to random(0, _splitContents.length-1)>> <<set $randomReignEvent to _splitContents[_randomNumber]>> <</silently>>

In this example, we will start with a year zero and generate a ruler, their gender, how long they ruled, and how their reign ended based on some simple rules. <<for _i to 0; _i < 30; _i++>> <<include "Simple History">> Years $currentYear-<<print $currentYear + $reign>>: $title $randomRoyalName ruled. $pronoun reigned for $reign years. $possessivePronoun reign ended because of $randomReignEvent. <</for>>

<<silently>> <<set $title to either("King", "Queen")>> <<if $title is "King">> <<set $pronoun to either("He", "They")>> <<if $pronoun is "He">> <<set $possessivePronoun to "His">> <<else>> <<set $possessivePronoun to "Their">> <</if>> <<else>> <<set $pronoun to either("She", "They")>> <<if $pronoun is "She">> <<set $possessivePronoun to "Her">> <<else>> <<set $possessivePronoun to "Their">> <</if>> <</if>> <<if State.variables.hasOwnProperty("currentYear") >> <<set $currentYear to $currentYear + $reign>> <<else>> <<set $currentYear to 0>> <</if>> <<set $reign to random(2, 70)>> <<include "Royal Name Generation">> <<include "Reign Event Generation">> <</silently>>

<<silently>> <<set _passageContents to Story.get("Royal Names")>> <<set _passageText to _passageContents.text>> <<set _splitContents to _passageText.split("\n")>> <<set _randomSyllables to random(1,3)>> <<set $randomRoyalName to _splitContents.pluck()>> <<for _k to 0; _k < _randomSyllables; _k++>> <<set _randomNumber to random(0, _splitContents.length)>> <<set $randomRoyalName to $randomRoyalName + _splitContents.pluck()>> <</for>> <<set $randomRoyalName to $randomRoyalName.replace(/^\w/, c => c.toUpperCase())>> <</silently>>
