Imprima um dos possíveis "fatos" do calendário XKCD:

Você pode obter o texto bruto e a estrutura da minha implementação de referência da APL ou da transcrição do Explain XKCD (incluindo o texto do título logo abaixo da ilustração).

Regras

Em todo nó de decisão, deve haver uma chance aleatória igual (pseudo-) de cada escolha.

Você pode usar todas as letras maiúsculas.

Você deve gerar três frases; uma pergunta, uma razão e um texto de título.

Os três frases devem ser encerrado por ?, .e, .respectivamente, e separados entre si por um único espaço.

O único espaço em branco extra que você pode incluir é um espaço à direita e / ou quebra de linha.

Exemplos

Did you know that the Latest Sunset drifts out of sync with the Zodiac because of time zone legislation in Indiana? Apparently it's getting worse and no one knows why. While it may seem like trivia, it has to be corrected for by GPS satellites.

Did you know that Leap Year happens later every year because of precession of the equator? Apparently scientists are really worried. While it may seem like trivia, it is taken advantage of by high-speed traders.

Did you know that Easter drifts out of sync with the atomic clock in Colorado because of a decree by the pope in the 1500s? Apparently scientists are really worried. While it may seem like trivia, it causes huge headaches for software developers.

Explicação

Nas três primeiras linhas, começamos construindo uma espécie de tabela de estados na pilha, representando o gráfico de todas as frases possíveis. Essas entradas da pilha são agrupadas em pares, para que haja primeiro um item de sequência e, em seguida, um salto ou ramificação. Onde necessário, o gráfico é preenchido com cadeias vazias e saltos de comprimento zero para atender a esse requisito.

Nosso loop principal começa então ao exibir um número, representando um item de string, da pilha. Esse número é interpretado como um deslocamento na tabela de strings na seção inferior da fonte. A tabela de strings é essencialmente um tipo de lista vinculada, agrupada em várias linhas para caber no espaço de memória restrito do Befunge.

Após a saída de uma sequência, o próximo item na pilha é um salto ou ramificação. Se o número for menor que 32, é um salto, que interpretamos retirando muitos pares de itens da pilha. Se o número for 32 ou mais, é uma ramificação e usamos o valor (menos 32) para pesquisar os detalhes da ramificação da tabela na última linha da fonte.

As entradas na tabela da ramificação consistem em uma contagem, seguida de uma lista de compensações. Uma vez que sabemos qual ramificação usar, simplesmente geramos um número aleatório, modulo a contagem de ramificações, para procurar o deslocamento apropriado. Esse deslocamento é então interpretado como um salto, eliminando o número necessário de itens da pilha.

Repetimos esse processo, produzindo uma string e, em seguida, executando um salto ou ramificação, até ficar sem entradas de pilha. Nesse ponto, simplesmente produzimos um "." para marcar o final da frase final e sair.

Escrevi isso principalmente para que eu pudesse criar a estrutura de dados. Definitivamente isso poderia ser melhorado, mas estou cansado e tenho que sair em breve de qualquer maneira. Acho que a capitalização está correta, mas converterei tudo em maiúsculas, se estiver errado. Isso não mudará a contagem de bytes ou qualquer coisa, pois eu não fiz nada de estranho com os dados da string.

A ideia básica é uma lista vinculada de árvores em que cada nó está vazio ( E), um sinal de pontuação ( P) ou um rótulo de sequência com filhos. Todos os nós, exceto os Enós, têm um nó "seguidor" que vem depois deles.

Edição: apenas notei um erro de ortografia (eu escrevi "ninguém sabe por que" em vez de "ninguém sabe por que"), então eu tive que adicionar um byte para corrigi-lo, mas também encontrei algum código que poderia ser cortado

S← S (para S plit e S elect) é
C escolhido entre
'|'∘≠ o  argumento
⊆particionado onde não é canalizado
⊢

∊ £ nlist (flatten)
Cescolhe a partir de uma lista de strings e Sescolhe entre os substrings de uma |string delimitada, e estes são apenas usadas em combinação para construir um "fato".
