One way you could improve is that you can use plus and negative key to turn pages instead of using ''scrolling'' on your mouse. Not everyone always has a mouse available 100% of the time
Library of blabber is much better however the library of babel has been recently updated... in 2018, this one however has not been updated since 2016 :( - This one happens to be my fav despite it being a bit outdated.
Is there any way to change the font the books are displayed in? I've come accross (pseudo-) German and French books, but any accented characters don't get displayed (äöüéèà and so on).
Fascinating concept. I played this about a year ago, and was inspired to look at it again. Unfortunately, I was unable to get it to work on OSX. I'm running macOS Sierra v10.12.6. It gets to the finding books prompt and gets stuck. I'd love to take another look.
Yes, every player will find the same page in the same book on the same shelf on the same wall in the same chamber - exactly this is the seed for generating text. For exporting, it's not possible without modification. As for an external program.. Essentially if you had my book generation code you could do that, but isn't it more interesting to walk around and 'physically' find books? :)
this is really something i would reccomend you to keep updating. if possible you should add more logic to the generation of the text to make more sense of the books. add more history, literature , and more words to the generation. allow the program to generate a new seed each time it is opened. maybe add the option to select the generation of specific languages.
Try this, open the program and wander for a few minutes then stop and open a book that captures your eye. read the first few pages to see if the book can predict the near future.
if you believe in fate than you have chosen this specific book for a reason.
Are you thinking about updating ?? hope you have the ability to go down stairs, go upstairs.
oh PLEASE at least allow me to reach the topshelf :( I cant reach any books at the top shelf and for some reason, some of the books the titles are either really long or no title at all....

Hahaha! Nice!

Is it alright if we make mods for this application? I'm tempted to see if it's possible to expand on preexisting features along with adding more.
would be cool to add an inventory and collect books you find funny or even interesting. 30 or 50 slots.
I found “Songs of Stomach”:
Its first page was like that:
Love it!
Let me ask do you have any plans to continue development of this game? I think it’s cool.
Probably not.
HAHAHHAHAH I JUST FOUND TEXT "A steak was sneaking through ice"
Someone has to make a mod to include real illegal pdfs in a seamless way
theres a website like this, i love the library of babel concept, https://libraryofbabel.info/
would be nice if we can reach top shelves...
I think this is waaaay dead for this to be fixed soon :(
Sadly I agree. One can hope I guess
There is an infinite number of books. Does reaching the top shelf make any difference?
Kinda yeah, it shouldn't just be there for looks tbh but it aint end of the world I suppose. I just think itd be cool to add a ladder.
I love the game/tool you created, dont get me wrong! :D
I want a search system that wen you search finds your book title or pages!
What is a noise and what is not a noise? What is an information? Answer me, everyone.
A vibration & a lack thereof.

Beware the Vashta Nerada
Love that episode
Please update
One thing I was thinking would be cool is a personal bookshelf where you can save books you've found.
YES
How do you flip the pages? Because arrows don't work and do most of the books have writing or just certain ones?
Mouse Wheel

Interesting, on what system are you?

Wow. I'm blown away by this.
Is this true procedural? Could I jot down some directions or coordinates to get someone to a book I've found?
Could we export a cool book, or possibly in the cover have the seed exposed, to be run through an outside program to get the same text again?
This is crazy cool stuff.

if you like a certain book, simply screenshot each page and save it in it's own folder.
