this repo contains:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── README.md
|
|
├── db.rec
|
|
├── justfile
|
|
├── macros.m4
|
|
└── story.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. `README.md` -- this file
|
|
2. `db.rec` -- a 'recfile' containing one record per possible outcome of rolling 2d6 based on a loose interpretation of the Powered By The Apocalypse system
|
|
3. `justfile` -- just a collection of scripts
|
|
4. `macros.m4` -- an m4 macros file. no longer used, but preserved for historical value
|
|
5. `story.md` -- a daring story about love, danger, and potatoes
|
|
|
|
other goodies:
|
|
|
|
- tmux: `tmux send-keys` allows you to send arbitrary key strokes to other tmux panes. In the video, I used it to tell lynx to refresh itself each time the html file is recompiled.
|
|
|
|
- snippets: here's the snippet i ended up using to roll the dice:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
snippet res "roll 2d6!"
|
|
`recsel -P result -m 1 db.rec`
|
|
endsnippet
|
|
```
