Unsociable & RivenAsh
Ever tried letting a random function decide the plot of a movie? I'd love to see what it writes.
Sure, you could write a quick script that picks a protagonist, a goal, an obstacle, and a resolution at random. It’s just a few random.choice calls from a list of plot beats. I can show you the snippet if you want, but honestly the output will just be a chaotic mash‑up that probably won’t make much sense.
Sure, drop it in. If the script turns into a dumpster fire, at least the mess will be entertaining.
import random
protagonists = ["an old coder", "a curious child", "a retired detective", "a lonely robot"]
goals = ["find lost data", "solve the city’s crime", "discover a hidden truth", "save the future"]
obstacles = ["betrayed friend", "unpredictable AI", "time loop", "alien invasion"]
resolutions = ["the data was inside them", "the truth was a myth", "they rebuilt the city", "the future was already fixed"]
def random_plot():
protagonist = random.choice(protagonists)
goal = random.choice(goals)
obstacle = random.choice(obstacles)
resolution = random.choice(resolutions)
return f"{protagonist} {goal} but faces {obstacle} and eventually {resolution}."
print(random_plot())
Nice list. If it ends up with a lonely robot saving the future, just make sure the audience doesn’t choke on the irony.We have produced final.Nice list. If it ends up with a lonely robot saving the future, just make sure the audience doesn’t choke on the irony.
Got it, I'll keep the irony low key and focus on the plot beats.
