For me , whenever I load datasets into the Fusion Generator I have to be mindful on how many items I load into the generator upon start.

If I load too much data , or do something crazy with the HTML , then there is a risk some users ( like those who browse perchance on older phones ) will not be able to access the generator page at all.

They will get a browser error message, and will not be able to access the generator at all to report the problem. They will be locked out forever , effectively.

So my suggestion is to have some kind of default “Oops something went wrong” page when loading generators on a perchance page.

The generator owner can customize the text written on the page. Maybe the image as well.

Importantly , they should be able to direct the user to somewhere (like a discord page) where they can report the problem.

TLDR : If the generator fails to load , show a link to a “Bug Report” page

    Heads up that __currentPerchanceErrorCount, and all other global variables that begin with __ are “private” (engine-internal) variables, meaning that I may change their name at any time, causing generators to break that were using them. As I mentioned to Bluepower, if you find a variable in the console, you should first check if it’s officially documented (likely on perchance.org/advanced-tutorial ) before using it, and if it’s not, then it should be assumed to be private.
