About

This repository contains the source code for The BIG List of Video Game Randomizers, a community project created and originally published in 2016 by Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré.

The project has been continuously maintained by him based on countless contributions by the community over the years, and is now maintained directly via open-source contributions.

How to contribute

You can request updates to the list either by submitting an issue with the Submit New Randomizer template, or in the #list-submissions channel in the Discord.

Pull requests from the public are very welcome - if you wish to become a maintainer or need help contributing, please join the Discord and see #list-maintenance. We recommend using VSCode if you wish to edit the series YAMLs, as the workspace contains configuration to use our schema by default.

Code structure

The site's Jekyll/Liquid templates are stored in src and src/_includes/, while the data is stored as a YAML file per series in src/series/.

Note that all games must be in a series; if a game does not belong to a series, give the series the same name as the game.

Building

• Install Jekyll - if on Windows you probably want to use WSL.
• cd src
• bundle install to install dependencies
• bundle exec jekyll serve

This will host the site on http://127.0.0.1:4000/rando-list/.

You can also run the Jekyll Build & Deploy GitHub action & download the outputted artifact if you do not wish to install Jekyll locally.
