Has anyone implemented something like virtual tiddlers? That is, I would like to be able to display a tiddler that doesn’t exist, but can be created from a template and extracting a number from its title to use for configuration. I haven’t worked out navigation or bookmarking, and perhaps those would be difficult, but I need the basics first.
This is for a just-for-fun project I described in Unusual layout: is it possible?. I would like to display Bingo Cards with terms drawn from a list of horrible corporate jargon, for example: Card 4. In the current version the terms for a card are hard-coded in a few named tiddlers, but I don’t want to do that for a thousand cards. Still, I would like for the cards to be fixed, so that if I visit Card 4 again, I would get the same terms.
I know how to do all of this, using a repeatable pseudo-random number generator and using the card number as its seed. What I am less sure of is how to deal with these as virtual tiddlers.
Has anyone worked with something similar?
(Perhaps the techniques @Springer uses to show content for missing tiddlers would be useful. I’ll have to find them again.)
