Would it be okay to use iframes instead of plugins? ☺️💀

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just if I see {import:...}, or an import in a JavaScript function, then you get disqualified.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting. What type do you suggest for a chat application?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would say Community/RP, but the comments plugin requires storage, kind of like the KV plugin, which I can't recreate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Alright. I was thinking of doing a workaround to somehow use the Comments Plugin and the Secret plugin without importing them, but I thought about it. I value my user's comfort over winning a challenge, thus, I would like to forfeit from this challenge.

Just a Notepad

Experiment

Not sure if an external stylesheet counts as an import, but oh well. The Perchance equivalent of the custom code I made for ai-character-chat.

Here's my Focus Timer .

This has a bunch of code, it took me a lot of searching to find the right styles, because I self-learned CSS. ~It took about 2 hours. Also try to import it (Wicked Smile)~

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

woooooooooow. nice header

now i want to make something awesome too hmmmmmm what to make.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Look at this wild thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

@[email protected] I noticed on an old generatorjam you have "type = text" on a submitted gen. Can you please explain that? are all submissions to this supposed to have "type = text"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The type is the type of generator they were. Text for text generators, Image for image generators, etc. The valid types are:

  • Text
  • Image
  • Plugin
  • Template
  • Game
  • Experiment
  • Community/RP
  • Preprocessor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what would u say for spiritwhisker's gen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

YOUR'E ASKING ME?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You can try to add the plugins’ code into the generator, but I’d say directly copying is a bit lame, and it’s hard, because variables might repeat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My not done generator Kitty Empire :) id say it's a good start

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
