      Hello everyone

      Do you know a way to display words from a textfile?
      I want them to display randomly from a textfile and change automatically every 15 seconds.

      I tried out the default modules (compliments and helloworld)
      but with helloworld there is no way to refer to a textfile.

      with the compliments module there is a way to refer to a textfile but the words are shown in the exact order as they are in the textfile.

        @Fii as I said over in discord, I don’t think there is a module that does this

        compliments is closest, if you set to random mode
        but that is the default…

            @Fii the code randomizes already… course bigger lists get better results
