need help with random text!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 07.2003

I would like to have a feature that takes quotations and scrambles the text to create new quotations. I want it to happen continuously, not just when a user enters the page. Here’s an example:

Better sound through research

It¹s better with bacon

Better bacon through perfection

I love what you do for me

The relentless pursuit of perfection

I love bacon

It’s love

The sound of bacon

Bacon is perfection

Love is perfection

Any help is much appreciated!

@pyroJan 07.2003 — What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to take pre-defined quotes and display them randomly to you page?? Maybe you could explain better...

@kalamataauthorJan 07.2003 — I want to take pre-defined quotes, scramble the words, and display the variations on a continuously revolving basis.

So "Better sound through research"

and "It's better with bacon"

become... "Better bacon through research", etc.

@pyroJan 07.2003 — You could randomize the words, but you may end up with something like this

"It's sound through with"

or

"Better better with through"

Know what I mean? If you just randomize the words, what's to say that they'll be sentences when you are done?

@kalamataauthorJan 07.2003 — I was thinking that too...

Maybe I could have a set list of rotating subject, verbs, objects?

Any suggestions?

@pyroJan 07.2003 — Yes, you could have a list of rotating subjects, verbs, and objects...Just make sure everything sounds good with everything. ?
