Version 3 of List Control by Eric Eve begins here.

"Provides a means of using tables as shuffled, cyclic or stop lists."

A table-type is a kind of value. The table-types are stop-list, cyclic-list, and shuffled-list


Table of Table Types

tabname	index	tabtype
a table-name	0	a table-type

To decide which number is the relevant row of (tab - a table-name):
choose row with a tabname of tab in the Table of Table Types;
let idx be the index entry;
let ttype be the tabtype entry;
increase idx by 1;
if idx > the number of rows in tab begin;
if ttype is shuffled-list, sort tab in random order;
if ttype is stop-list, now idx is the number of rows in tab;
otherwise now idx is 1;
end if;
now the index entry is idx;
decide on idx.

To show the next response from (tab - a table-name):
let r be the relevant row of tab;
choose row r in tab;
say "[response entry][paragraph break]"

[The following is needed to allow a game including this file to compile even without any defining any tables containing a response column]

Table of Dummy
