A small trailer to an upcoming big Power Flag Generator update later this year...

FYI, I just updated the generator, adding diagonal and triangle layouts, as well as a new emblem shape, so check them out!

this is a beautiful generator.

inspiring is the first word that comes to mind.

I am wowed so much I can't suggest anything. Main feeling is people seeking to learn perchance should be following your generators. Possibly the best example of Perchance and how to Perchance I have yet seen. Actually I am going to have 'best examples of perchance' be a section in my hub with slots for first, second, and third, and this is currently number 1.

@Alllo Well, glad you find my generator helpful, even though it's not *really* supposed to be a tutorial or even an example generator. However, I've made several examples including the onLoad and onSubmitButton example page, and I might put those down in a separate category in my generator hub page, as references for newcomers coming from my hub page.

"it’s not really supposed to be a tutorial or even an example generator." yep. instead, it's your real thoughts and actions, meant to achieve and produce a cool thing. maybe 'example' was the wrong word. it's more like romodels.

a teacher can 'tell' a kid: to make a painting the brush is dipped in paint and then touch the painting. That's like an example.

or a kid can simply be there, and watch as a master paints a masterpiece just as they would were the kid not there.

I think it is best to have access to 'the examples', but a truly great person would only form if they had seen how the masters do it.

So not an example as in a 'how to do a specific thing'. More like, were my target audience really smart and ambitious people trying to grow themselves in to the best they can be and most unlimited potential, I would currently direct them to look at the perchancescript of this specific generator. I will figure out how to word it better by the time my version 2 of my hub is up. Yes not an example nor tutorial. Some word related to 'romodel' is probably better. basically a top tier perchance creation showing what perchance can do in a good way enough that, if I had a student, I would feel it healthy for them to look.

I once raised a kid who did not go to school from 8 to 10 and got him beyond college level in multiple things in those two years. It had entirely to do with me being his main romodel just doing high potential things in front of him as my norm. I almost never straightforwardly told him how to do something. Just being surrounded by 'the master way' instead of 'the noob way' for how to do things extremely matters for where one ends up imo.

@Alllo That's an interesting, yet quite inspirational story. Again, glad you seen people could learn from my generators, and thanks for the "vocabulary" explanation 🙂
