I just discovered Perchance this morning while looking for some options to consolidate and “oracle-ize” some pen-an-paper game tables from Ganesha games. I’m a retired and somewhat lazy software developer who figured there should be a way to accomplish this without reinventing the wheel, and Perchance seems to fit the bill well. One initial question - the example generator html files seem to have a single call to “update” when the button is clicked. Can a generator respond to multiple button messages? For example if I wanted to include two unrelated tables in a single generator file ? I have about 15 tables for one game, and would like to be able to have buttons for each table, plus a read-only scrolling text area that contains the output from each click, like a journal.

    You can also just not use the update at all. (People can still call it on the other side, but you don’t need to use that as the mechanism by which you change stuff.) You can just use regular JS and set it up to work however you want it to work.
