  • Random Lines

    From Willowolf@VERT/WOLFGROT to All on Tue Aug 21 00:44:00 2001
    How would I program a random selection in Baja? I want to display random one-liners at logon to my users. I don't care if I have to program the one-liners into the baja .src file, I just want it simple.

    Thanks,
    \\/

    Get the BAJA documentation and look for the section on SWITCH/CASE which gives as an example, a small fragment of code that does random selections. Expand on this to your hearts content.

    compare_ars RANDOM 3 (or whatever you want)
    if_true
    printfile "x:\shit.txt"
    end_if
    compare_ars random 3
    if_true
    printfile "x:\shit2.txt"
    end_if
    # fallthrough
    printfile "x:\shit3.txt"
    goto duh
    :duh
    # oops, i forgot to put a "goto duh " before each end_if
    # ah well, might/might not be applicable

    you can also use random with an interger, but this way is easy

    that one mime rumos thing is helpfull, so is aces one, though you have to
    fix up the code to get it to work.
