TTYD Bingo v1.3 (and an explanation)

This is a goal list for TTYD Bingo v1.3.

Each goal in the script is placed under a certain bingoList. There are 25 bingoLists numbered from 1 to 25, and they represent the goal's "length." The bingoList number associated with a particular goal should be based upon objective length rather than difficulty, but for the sake of this script, I tried to factor difficulty in a little. A good rule of thumb for me was ranking goals based 90% on length and 10% on difficulty. After each goal is assigned to a bingoList, the script can generate a bingo card. This is a portion of the bingo-v4.js that manages length (it's called difficulty, but it's actually length.)

  function difficulty(i) {
    var x = 0;
    var y = 0;
    i--; // i = 0 on square 0,0; 24 on square 4,4
    x = i%5; // take x position
    x = 5+(SEED-x); // randomize it with the seed
    y = Math.floor(i/5); // same for y... except:
    y = 5+(Math.floor(SEED/10)-y); // randomize it using the tens place

    //results.append("<br/>index: " + i + " | x: " + x + " | y: " + y);

    if (SEED > MAX_SEED/2) { // one in two chance of swapping x and y to rotate the board
      var temp = x;
      x = y;
      y = temp;
    }

    x = x%5;
    y = y%5;

    // mirror the board sometimes
    if (SEED > MAX_SEED*(3/4)) {
      x = mirror(x);
      y = mirror(y);
    }
    else if (SEED > MAX_SEED*(2/4)) {
      x = mirror(x);
    }
    else if (SEED > MAX_SEED*(1/4)) {
      y = mirror(y);
    }

    var value = (5*((x+2*y)%5)) + ((x+3*y)%5); // magic square generator
    if (MODE == "short") { value = Math.floor(value/2); } // if short mode, limit difficulty
    else if (MODE == "long") { value = Math.floor((value + 25) / 2); }
    value++;
    //results.append("<br/>VALUE: " + value);
    return value;
  }

The script attempts to add up each row/column/diagonal to a certain number (determined by the seed and selected card length.) This is to ensure proper balance among all 12 options for normal bingo games. Because of this, relegating certain goals to a specific card length selection is not an option. All we can do is assign them to a bingoList in attempt to balance out the card.

Another thing taken into account is the goal "type." Each bingo goal is assigned one or more of these types to discourage too much synergy (too many tasks occurring in the same area, with the same equipment, etc.) Take this goal for example:

bingoList[18] = [
	{name: "Defeat an Amazy Dayzee", types: ["twilight", "pit"]},

You can encounter Amazy Dayzees in both Twilight Trail and the Pit of 100 Trials. If this goal was in the same row as "All 10 Twilight Town/Twilight Trail/Creepy Steeple Star Pieces," a racer might be more inclined to head to chapter 4 if it means completing two goals, which is completely fine. The types make goals less likely to appear in the same row/column/diagonal, but they don't make it impossible. If two goals with the same type end up in the same row/column/diagonal, the magic number that the row has to add up to is increased. This means that the set of five goals will be objectively longer on their own than some other options, but the added synergy makes up for it.

Types are also used to completely discourage two goals from being done together for reasons against synergy:

bingoList[14] = [
	{name: "15 BP", types: ["stat1, stat2, stat3, stat4"]},
	{name: "30 FP", types: ["stat1, stat2, stat3, stat4"]},

These goals are perfectly manageable on their own, but their length increase quite substantially when they are paired together. The more types a row has in common, the less likely they are to occur together, so the stat goals each have four similar types.
