The helper +;; functions `pick-random' and `shuffle-vector' may be of interest to +;; programmers. +;; +;; The code expects phrase files to be in ITS-style LINS format +;; (strings terminated by ASCII 0 characters, leading whitespace +;; ignored). Everything up to the first delimiter is treated as a +;; comment. Other formats (notably UNIX fortune-file format) could +;; easily be supported by changing the `cookie-delimiter' constant. +;; +;; This code derives from Steve Strassman's 1987 spook.el package, but +;; has been generalized so that it supports multiple simultaneous cookie +;; databases. It is intended to be called from other packages such as +;; yow.el and spook.el. + +;;; Code: + +; Randomize the seed in the random number generator. +(random t) + +(defconst cookie-delimiter "\0" + "Delimiter used to separate cookie file entries.") + +(defun cookie (phrase-file startmsg endmsg) + "Return a random phrase from PHRASE-FILE.
