index.html only selects at random from recent games #52

This is a pretty stand-alone task, maybe someone else would be interested in having a look -

right now for the index page it pulls the last twenty and selects 3 at random. i don't know if it's possible but it'd be neat if someone could make it trawl 3 completely at random from its archives.

Can it involve a job that periodically fetches all posts from the gallery website and hosts it on puzzlescript.net?

The "right" way to fetch all posts from a Tumblr is using an API key, and it's a bad idea to embed it in index.html

Thanks for thinking about this.

Judging by the Tumblr API wording ( http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api_agreement) we probably shouldn't use it for anything -

"Licensee Applications are strictly prohibited from syndicating or distributing Content in any manner, public or private, including but not limited to public redisplay of any Content."

My ideal for this project was to keep everything static html. I think my server for puzzlescript doesn't support php / mysql.

Maybe this isn't so important. Maybe the current format is okay - recent games get exposure, and older ones people can still find via the tumblr. Hm.

Got it!

Just call http://puzzlescriptgallery.tumblr.com/random X times. (Watch out for an implausible infinite loop if you get the same item after several retries)
