Have you ever been playing Oregon Trail II and thought "this game is too easy"? Fear no more! Now you can be faced with sub-optimal conditions entirely out of your control! Set out in August as an artist in a wagon accompanied by senior citizens, get lucky and leave as a doctor in April with young-ish companions, or anywhise in between! Simply load up the Oregon Trail II Randomizer, click in the boxes, and hope you get a favorable result!
- Any web server (this is all run client-side, so it works on GitHub/GitLab Pages, S3, Nginx, etc. out of the box).
- JavaScript enabled in the browser (for clients).
- Open index.html in your editor of choice
- Replace every occurrence of
your.domain.herewith your domain (just the domain name). - Replace the
twitter:sitemeta tag's@YourTwitterHandleHerewith your Twitter handle (or remove the line if you do not have a Twitter account).
- On smaller screens, pressing the wagon/emote does not play the Oregon Trail 2 title song. (Smaller screens being any screen whise the wagon/emote ends up on the left side of the screen.)
- Pressing the "Do not press" button a bunch does not make the page level. (This was done on purpose by the original creator and is not a bug.)
What's with the Twitch Emote of the Day? And why is "Tim" the autofilled name?
This was originally created for the Twitch streamer MonotoneTim, who played Oregon Trail II a lot on his streams. The emotes that rotate around are his subscriber emotes, with the exception of Kappa, a global Twitch emote.
Did you make this?
No. This is the original website that hosted
the randomizer. The original creator is pimanrules (@pimanrules on Steam,
Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube).
As far as I can tell, the first time the randomzier was
used was on
June 21, 2013
(credit for finding that goes to OldMario on Twitch).
Have you modified this?
Yes. The original site had all the CSS and most of the JS inlined, and I removed most of it and put it in separate files. I added proper indentation, favicons, and meta tags, fixed mobile formatting, and am working on enabling some (currently) broken features.
What is the license status of this project?
CC0. It's not really a software license, but it's what the original creator of the randomizer wants.
feel free to consider it CC0 for all I care, with the disclaimer that all the assets are stolen from the game
although the game is probably abandonware at this point so who cares
OSI doesn't recommend it but I don't care enough to find a software equivalent
