When I was about 12, I read Mark R. Johnson's paper on roguelike semiotics and dreamed of an alien mirror of reality where randomized entities and actions were represented in completely detached ways.
I don't think I knew WikiData as my initial impulse was playing around with a database of my own creation, which inevitably lost me. The most I remember of that ancient JS iteration was a strangely evocative instance where I was abstractly flitting around some psychedelic-colored pillars and halls as a butterfly.
Browsing WikiData for the first time in a while is tempting me to revisit the concept, but in Godot. Can someone help me learn how to, for example, get a random person from there?
