Version 3 of List Controller by Eric Eve begins here.

"Provides a means of using tables as shuffled, cyclic or stoping lists. This is an alternative to List Control that uses list controller objects instead of a Table of Table Types."

A list controller is a kind of thing.
A list controller can be stopping, cyclic, or shuffled.
A list controller has a number called cur_state.
A list controller has a table-name called associated list.

To show the next response of/in/from (lc - a list controller), with newlines, with paragraph break or with run on:
let cur be the next row to use in lc;
choose row cur in the associated list of lc;
if there is an event entry, follow the event entry;
if there is an response entry, say "[response entry][if with newlines][line break][end if][if with run on][run paragraph on][end if][if with paragraph break][paragraph break][end if]".


To decide which number is the next row to use in/of/from (lc - a list controller):
let cur be the cur_state of lc plus 1;
let tab be the associated list of lc;
let len be the number of rows in tab;
if cur > len begin;
if lc is shuffled, sort tab in random order;
if lc is shuffled or lc is cyclic, now cur is 1;
otherwise now cur is len;
end if;
now the cur_state of lc is cur;
decide on cur.



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

Table of DummyXYZ

response	event
"dummy"	a rule
