In the variable management menu, in order to edit game variables, you have to click "edit reader variables", but reader variables make me think of the reader customization variables, which are a different type. The first time I saw this, I looked around for "edit game variables" for a few...

It seems to be fixed, thanks!

Actions with multiplication seem to raise the "This chapter does not offer that story action." error when the action buttons are activated.

"This chapter does not offer that story action" I set up an action, but when I try to press it, that error pops up whenever the action involves a multiplication.

Good idea, if the variable limit is increased (at least for time) and Unix or something similar is used under the hood (so that time essentially passes even without the user), then that could also work well. Although I guess it would also be useful to know how much time has passed *with* the...

The mad lad has done it again, absolutely fabulous! Yes: Brief example: A 2d roguelike with tile data stored in an object made up of arrays for each y slice. Generating the dungeon could involve looping over each tile in the object and performing some tile generating function on it. Ranged...

Not necessarily, I meant to include both story level and broader level in how I was defining "definable functions" (as in either one would be good).

I would've wrote essentially the same (including the praise). The action buttons are so nice! No need to wait for a page load to change the variables. Loops, arrays and objects would also be amazing, but it's very understandable if any or all of that is asking for too much. Definable functions...

Hmm I wonder how far Friedman (I assume it's Friedman?) is aiming to take this new game mode. Depending on how much he's planning to add, it might be most efficient (albeit still a ton of work) to lean in on the user-generated aspect of the site, implement some fundamentals (loops, functions...

I was about to write the same thing. There are so many things I've wanted to do but couldn't (realistically), due to not being able to directly set variables based on other variables. This is the feature I most want to see right now, by far.

Good point

Ah good point, I forgot about this. Though before this conversation, I was thinking you could use a second variable to represent the difference between a variable and its limit. So you could have game:remaining_weight that's always changed alongside game_weight and game:max_weight, at least...

Sorry, I should have clarified that "Weight_cap" was meant to be adjustable, based on eg. if you have a backpack, how many stat points you have in strength, etc. I was under the impression that you would have to do something like "if Weight_limit - Weight - 100000 = 0", to check if you're...

Comparisons between variables in the conditional are now possible! Meaning it's now easy to straightforwardly have things like: A working XP bar with a changeable maximum. (XP ≥ XP_max) Movable colliders. (X = X2, Y = Y2) or (X ≥ X2a, Y ≥ Y2a, X ≤ X2b, Y ≤ Y2b) A dynamic weight limit. (Weight...

Yeahh I should probably do the same, but I feel like I would miss chyoa's integrated publishing/community.

I have to admit that I've also been struggling. I wanted to take another stab at the fighting idea, but I think in order to take it as far as I want to, I'd still need to implement pseudorandom elements along with genuine randomness. And a lot of the original ideas I had are either too big in...

I'm so excited to use this.

Legend.

I would also love to know if any progress was made on this.

That's excellent, definitely a missed opportunity by me to include that approach in the list of ways to "randomize" things. That makes total sense, the PRNG approach especially involves a very large amount of effort for very few pseudorandom bits, it certainly isn't a good fit for every...
