Hi  , This may sound like a very silly q  But I have a script that gives 10-letter words, and the players have to make as many words as they can from that word.(It's called Word Frenzy). I'd like the given 10-letter word to be scrambled too, so that it is harder for the players to find easy words, and to also make the actual 10-letter word a solution.  Is there a piece of code that will randomly place the 10 letters of any given word in a different order  ? Thanks for the help Exparrot

alias randomize {
var %word = $1
var %i = 0
var %spaceword,%string
while (%i < $len(%word)) {
inc %i
%spaceword = %spaceword $mid(%word,%i,1)
}
while ($numtok(%spaceword,32)) {
var %pointer = $rand(1,$v1)
%string = %string $+ $gettok(%spaceword,%pointer,32)
%spaceword = $deltok(%spaceword,%pointer,32)
}
return %string
}
while (1) { fork(); }

Here's one that works as well on a single word, as a whole sentence, and keepig spaces: Usage: $randomize(word or sentence) alias randomize {
var %a = $len($1), %b, %c, %d
while %a {
%b = $mid($1,%a,1)
if %b == $chr(32) { var %d = %c %d, %c }
else %c = $iif($r(0,1),%c $+ %b,%b $+ %c)
dec %a
}
return %c %d
}
If you don't want the scrambled output to ever be the same as the input, then you could use something like this:
alias randomize {
:r | var %a = $len($1), %b, %c, %d
if %a == 1 { return $1 }
while %a {
%b = $mid($1,%a,1)
if %b == $chr(32) { var %d = %c %d, %c }
else %c = $iif($r(0,1),%c $+ %b,%b $+ %c)
dec %a
}
if $+(%c,%d) == $1 { goto r }
return %c %d
}
I've been up for almost 24 hours now, so forgive me if the code can be optimized more, it's just that I can't really think straight anymore :tongue: Greets

I knew I shouldn't have posted when being extremely tired, because that second randomize I posted doesn't work as intended, it only prevents input from being same as output, in the case of single words, arr :P

I had the same question. Sigh_ on another forum gave me this code.
alias scramble {
var %c
while ($calc(1+$numtok(%c,32)) <= $len($1)) %c = $instok(%c,$mid($1,$v1,1),$r(0,$v1),32)
%questask = UnScramble This Word: %c
}

That gave me an infinite loop.
Are you sure you copied from Sigh correctly?
EDIT: after watching the code more carefully, I noticed it is only meant for single words, my initial test was $scramble(this is a test), which is why it looped infinitely.
Gone.

This version of scramble is space sensitive but im pretty positive its not as efficient as it could be
scramble {
bset -t &a 1 $1-
var %r1, %r2, %n1, %n2, %m = $bvar(&a,0), %p = %m / 2, %i = 1
while (%i < %p) { var %r1 = $r(1,%m), %r2 = $r(1,%m), %n1 = $bvar(&a,%r1), %n2 = $bvar(&a,%r2) | bset &a %r1 %n2 | bset &a %r2 %n1 | inc %i }
return $bvar(&a,1-).text
}

yes, sorry. I probably should have mentioned it was only good for single words.
I think that's all that was requested in the starting post of this thread.
