% \maketitle
%
% \begin{abstract}
%
% This package provides macros and environments to allow the user to
% typeset a series of cross-referenced, numbered ``entries'',
% shuffled into random order.
%
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% This package was written to allow the typesetting of gamebooks.
%
% A gamebook is a book divided into ``entries'' (which may be a single
% paragraph or longer), each with a sequentially numbered value. At
% the end of each entry, a link to one or more other numbered
% entries is given; the reader selects one and they follow through
% the story in this order. Gamebooks traditionally start at the
% entry numbered~``1'' and some gamebooks have multiple endings,
% with the final section representing a success or victory for the
% reader.
%
% In particular, this package handles two technical challenges which
% are tricky to solve with \LaTeX\ directly: writing the ``entries''
% in order but presenting them in a randomised order; and presenting
% footnotes at the end of each ``entry'', numbered in the order in
% which they appear, not the order in which they are written.
%
% Aside from shuffling the paragraphs and fixing the handling of
% footnotes, this package provides little help for the actual
% typesetting of gamebook entries. For this, please consider using
% Andr\'e Miede's |gamebook| package, available on
% CTAN\footnote{\texttt{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/gamebook}}. That
% package is orthogonal to this one; both may be used together.
%
% \section*{Terminology}
%
% For the purposes of this document, the term \textit{entry} means a
% numbered section of text. This term helps describe the
% common format of a gamebook, while avoiding confusion with the terms
% \textit{paragraph} and a \textit{section}, both of which
% already have a clear definition.
%
% The term \textit{gamebook} means a book consisting of numbered
% sections, typically presented in a non-linear order with a
% tree or graph of possible reading options.
%
% \section*{Usage}
%
% To load the class, use |\usepackage[|\textit{options}|]{gamebook}|
%
% The class options are described below; |[footnotes,jukebox,mark]| is
% normally a good choice, although there are some limitations.
%
% The user simply writes entries like this inside the document:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{gentry}{codea}
% This is the first entry
%
% Turn to \turnto{codeb}
% \end{gentry}
%
% \begin{gentry}[123]{codeb}[title]
% This is the second and final entry.\par
% To play again, turn to \turnto{codea}
% \end{gentry}
%
% % Output:
% \thegentries
% \end{verbatim}
%
% Here, two entries are defined, and then output.
%
% The first entry is given a label of |gentry:codea|, and the
% \cs{turnto\{codea\}} in the second entry generates a link back to
% that label. You might define \cs{turnto} like this:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \newcommand{\turnto}[1]{\ref{gentry:#1}}
% \end{verbatim}
%
%
% As |entry| is a common term likely to conflict with other
% environments, the environment to declare an entry has been named
% |gentry| (gamebook entry) instead.
%
% Sometimes it is convenient, when writing an entry, to give it a fixed
% index in the text. The first optional argument in the second entry
% --- |[123]| --- fixes the entry at that position during
% shuffling. This is implemented by iterating over each entry and
% swapping it with that index. Duplicates are not currently checked
% for, but they would not be lost; if two entries are defined with the
% same fixed index, one will end up somewhere else in the text. 
%
% The first and last entries are automatically fixed without
% needing to specify the optional number.
%
% Specifying the optional number as a value greater than or equal to
% the number of entries, or less than~2, is not recommended. (Yes,
% this example used |123|, which is beyond the number of entries. This
% was done to show the syntax).
%
% The second optional argument is a title to be displayed alongside
% the numerical value.
%
% Finally, the command \cs{thegentries} will output all entries defined so
% far, handling shuffling and footnotes.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\gentryheader}\marg{counterIdx}\marg{fixedIdx}\marg{code}\marg{title}
%
% Users may also want to redefine \cs{gentryheader} to change how the
% entries are displayed. The initial version is quite basic and
% intended for debugging; users should use \cs{renewcommand} to change
% it to something more pleasant.
%
% Here's one suggestion, using packages from CTAN. It works well if you have either a
% title, or at least 2 lines of text before the first paragraph break
% inside the |gentry|.
%
%
% It also requires near the start of the document:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage{lettrine}
% \usepackage{etoolbox}
% \usepackage{color}
% \end{verbatim}
% And this anywhere before \cs{thegentries}:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{%
%   \color[gray]{0.5}\fontfamily{ppl}\fontseries{bx}}
% \renewcommand{\gentryheader}[4]{%
%  % \typeout{Typesetting entry at original index #1}
%  \lettrine[lines=3,lhang=0.2,loversize=0.2]{\raisebox{0.1em}{\arabic{gentryctr}}}%
%      {\textbf{\Large\textbf{\raisebox{0.3em}{~#4}%
%      }}}%
%      \ifstrempty{#1}{}{\linebreak\mbox{}~}}%
% \end{verbatim}
% On the last line, \cs{mbox} stops the \cs{parindent} space being
% ignored; the $\sim$ brings it back up to the expected spacing.
% You may need to adjust the |lettrine| spacing parameters, depending on the font size
% and whether you use header text.
%
% \section*{Package options}
% \newcommand{\popt}[1]{\marginpar{\hfill |#1|}\index{#1 (option)}}
%
% These options can be specified as a comma-separated list to the
% \cs{usepackage} line.
%
% \popt{footnote}
% \changes{v1.0}{2021/08/10}{Footnote option}
% The |footnote| option causes \LaTeX\ to output footnotes at the end
% of each entry, or the end of each page, whichever comes first after
% the footnote mark.
%
% There are some limitations, described below.
%
% Support for other packages that affect footnotes is limited. If
% using |hyperref|, it is recommended to pass |[hyperfootnotes=false]|
% to avoid broken links.
%
%
% \popt{jukebox}
% \changes{v1.3}{2022/05/26}{Feature: "jukebox" shuffle}
% Use the Jukebox Index shuffling
% algorithm\footnote{\texttt{https://github.com/robertjlee/jukeboxshuffle}}.
% This is slightly slower, but tends to reduce the number of times you
% get a  ``turn to~'' instrution referencing the next (or previous)
% entry in the original order, by modifying the shuffle to ensure that
% adjacent gentries in the input have much less chance of being
% adjacent in the final document. |jukebox| requires a \LaTeXe\ that
% supports \cs{numexpr}, and a minimum of 6 gentries. If fewer than
% 6~|gentry| environments are supplied before \cs{thegentries}, this
% option will only log a warning in verbose mode.
%
% The |jukebox| option guarantees no more adjacent entries than
% without the option, for a given |seed| value; it may not eliminate
% them completely unless the number of entries is large. The
% performance is linear to the number of entries.
%
% \popt{noshuffle}
% \changes{v1.0}{2021/08/10}{Noshuffle option}
% In general, it's easier to write gamebooks in a more linear fashion,
% in which related entries are kept together. But this is much less
% fun to play, as it's too easy for the reader to simply read the
% adjacent eentries to decide what to do.
% For this reason, this package shuffles the output entries by
% default. The first and last entries are never shuffled.
%
% Sometimes, perhaps for proofreading, you may not want the entries
% to be shuffled. In this case, you can use the |noshuffle| option.
%
% \popt{verbose}
% \changes{v1.0}{2021/08/10}{Verbose option}
% This macro causes the package to output information messages about
% what it's doing to the log file. This is not generally too useful, but it does
% include a mapping of the original paragraph indexes to their sorted
% positons, which may be useful to keep for handling proofreading
% corrections.
%
% \popt{endpage}
% \changes{v1.0}{2021/08/10}{Endpage option}
% Puts the last entry on a page on its own. This typically produces a
% better ``winning'' feel for reaching the last entry, but it can also
% produce documents with ugly spacing, so it's recommended to try it
% each way and see which works better for your text.
%
% \popt{seed}
% It's suggested that users specify a value for ``seed'' for stable
% builds, by adding the following before including this package:
% |\usepackage[seed=123]{lcg}|
%
% \section*{Footnotes}
%
% When typesetting a gamebook with footnotes, it is confusing if they
% migrate to the bottom of each page, as the footnote becomes visually
% detached from the entry to which it relates. Some effort has been taken to
% ensure that footnotes can be typeset at the bottom of the page on which
% the mark appears, or the bottom of each entry, whichever comes
% first.
%
% However, this implementation has some limitations:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Footnotes are not expanded until they are typeset.
% \item As a consequence, attaching one footnote to another with the
% use of \cs{footnotemark} within a \cs{footnote} argument will not
% advance the counter in time, so \cs{footnotetext} may not behave as
% you expect unless it is also set inside the first footnote's text.
% \item Footnotes at the end of the page will not be broken across
% pages. Putting sufficient text into footnotes will cause the page
% to overflow.
% \item Where the footnote \textbf{mark} appears at the very end of a page,
% the footnote \textbf{text} may be set at the top of the subsequent
% page. \TeX\ is asked not to break the page there, but this influence
% is limited. It may be possible for the author to avoid this, eg by
% adding a rubber length to the interline spacing (it may be easier to
% simply choose a different |seed| value for the |lcg| package to
% reshuffle).
% \item If you have a lot of rubber space in the text, or
% variably-sized items, \LaTeX\ may expand the footnote at the end of
% the entry before it works out where to put the page break. In this
% case, the footnote will appear on the wrong page. The macro
% \cs{noentryfoot} is provided to allow the author to fix this case.
% \item Support for other footnotes packages may be limited and the
% behaviour of packages like |footnote|, |endnotes|, |footmisx|,
% |fnote|, |dblfnote| \textit{etc} may be affected.
% \item If using the |hyperref| package, it is recommended to pass the
% option |hyperfootnotes=false| to that package, as the footnote links
% will be incorrect.
% \item The package uses \TeX\ \cs{mark}s to indicate which footnotes
% should appear on each page. Because \TeX\ supports only one set of
% marks, this would break any other package or usage of \cs{mark}
% while a gamebook was being output.
% \item Because \cs{mark} does not escape a floating environment, such
% as |minipage|, it is likely that this footnote implementation will
% not work as expected if the gamebook or \cs{footnote} is set in a |minipage| or
% similar.
% \item Each footnote is evaluated in a group. Just conceivably, this
% might affect the behaviour of some macros that affect the document
% beyond the footnote.
% \item We rely on some non-``public'' macros, such as \cs{@mpfn} and
% \cs{@footnotetext} defined by \LaTeX\ standard document
% classes. Other document classes may override these, which would
% override this package's footnotes too.
% \end{itemize}
%
% For this reason, the improved footnote handling is only enabled if
% you pass the |footnote| option, and only while the environment is
% active.

% \subsection*{The output routine and end-of-page footnotes}
% The idea is to keep footnotes always on the same page as their mark where possible.
%
% \LaTeX\ does lots of fun things with the output routine, which we
% want to keep. So grab a copy of whatever the code is currently doing:
%
% Here I'm using the \cs{edef} trick to expand \cs{the}\cs{output} into a token register, because using a macro
% causes a weird error about an ``|{|'' after ``\cs{the}''.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newtoks\gentry@oldoutput{}%
\edef\mytmp@{\noexpand\gentry@oldoutput={\the\output}}\mytmp@%
%    \end{macrocode}
% For the footnotes, if we reach the end of a page without outputting
% them, we need to flush them.
%
% \cs{output} is the output routine. It takes the page built up in
% \cs{box255}, annotates it with headers, footers etc, then ships it
% out. For our purposes, we only need to append the footnotes to the
% bottom of \cs{box255}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\if@gamebook@footnotes\output={%
  \def\gentry@deferoutput{\the\gentry@oldoutput}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% The \cs{outputpenalty} tells us why the output routine was called; generally, it's invoked whenever
% a new floatable environment is generated, or when a page is full. Anything less than -1000 means that
% the page was filled, so we should add any footnotes only in this case.

% \subsection*{The Shuffling Algorithm}
%
% The basic shuffling algorithm is to first shuffle all entries,
% except for those marked with a fixed index, then to go through the
% fixed-index entries in order and swap them into their final place.
%
% The original version of this package had a bug relating to multiple
% fixed-index entries (now fixed).
% In short, let $A$, $B$, and $C$ be indices; if $A&lt;B$ and
% (unshuffled) entry number $A$ was fixed at (shuffled) 
% location $B$, while (unshuffled) entry number $B$ was fixed at
% (shuffled) location $C$, so during the ``shuffle,'' $A$ would be
% swapped with $B$, then $B$ would be swapped with $C$, resulting in
% $A$ appearing at $C$ in the text, not $B$ as requested. Because the
% unshuffled index doesn't appear in either the source or output
% document, this could be difficult to diagnose; the author simply saw
% one of their entries ending up in the wrong place.
%
% \TeX\ has well beyond 255 token registers these days, so don't
% bother to check that limit.
%
% The |LCG| package provides a suitable pseudo-random number generator.
% What we want is a repeatable series of disparate numbers, not an
% especially random one.
%
%\begin{enumerate}  
% \item Work out how many entries there are~($N$). Provided \cs{thegentries} is
% called at the end, this is just the value of |gentryctr|
% \item Declare a set of token registers named \cs{paratoks}$n$, where $n$ is
% each integer 1\dots$N$ inclusive. These will hold the contents of the entry.
% \item Declare a set of macros named \cs{paraidx}$n$, where $n$ is
% each integer 1\dots$N$ inclusive, each initialised to $n$. These will hold the number of the entry.
% \item Shuffle elements $\{2:N-1\}$, in that array. For $i=2$ through $N-2$
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Let $R$ be a random number between $i$ and $N-1$ inclusive
% \item If $R\ne i$ then swap macros \cs{gentrytoks}$R$ and \cs{gentrytoks}$i$
% \item If $R\ne i$ then swap macros \cs{paraIdx}$R$ and \cs{gentryidx}$i$
% \end{enumerate}
% \item If a jukebox index sort is requested, perform an optimisation
% pass (see below)
% \item For $i=1:n$, output token reg $i$

% Actually output the footnotes.
%
% Having output the footnote, clear the token register (to save
% memory), then use \cs{let} to clear the definition of the
% macro. This ensures that we don't try to output the same footnote
% twice (at page end and entry end).

% \LaTeX\ works by building up a little more than a page, then calling the output routine.
% The output routine then decides where to put the page end from the built-up material.
% If there is a footnote mark, it could come after the page end, so we can't rely on the
% fact that there's footnote register to determine if we should output footnotes or not.
% The edge case is: if the footnote mark is held back for the next page, the footnote text
% would appear on the footer of the page where being built when the mark was expanded, which
% is the page before the footnote.
%
% One fix for this is to have each footnote mark in the main body of
% the text output a \cs{mark} containing the footnote's counter value,
% and output the footnotes only to \cs{botmark}, which is the last
% \cs{mark} actually typeset on the page.

% (see https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb11-4/tb30salomon.pdf,
% page 598, to read around footnotes).

% \DescribeMacro{\outputfootnotes@endgentry}
% This macro is called at the end of each |gentry|. It switches into
% vertical mode (as ending |gentry| doesn't throw a \cs{break} or line
% end by itself), then we output all footnotes so far (by reading the
% footnote counter \cs{@mpfn}, as this is ``sequential'').
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\outputfootnotes@endgentry}{%
  \if@gamebook@footnotes%
  \nopagebreak\ifhmode\\\fi% get into vertical mode
  \nopagebreak\outputfootnotes{\arabic{\@mpfn}}%
  \fi%
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% \DescribeMacro{\noentryfoot}
% This method simply suppresses footnotes at the end of the entry
% within the current group. This forces footnotes within the current
% group to be printed at the bottom of the page.
%
% This is useful in the case where \LaTeX\ expands the footnote at the
% end of the entry, then decides to put the page split between the
% footnote mark and the text.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\noentryfoot}{\def\outputfootnotes@endgentry{}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \DescribeMacro{\outputfootnotes@endpage}
% This is called by the output routine at the end of each page. If
% \cs{botmark} has a value, then we can output all footnotes up to
% that index.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\g@addto@macro{\gentry@footnotespergentry}{%
