The weird and wild bean game

Question

Maybe some of you already know this game: you have a collection of jelly beans of different colors. For every color, the bean can have different tastes, some are good and some are bad, and you cannot tell them apart. You have to pick a bean of a given color, and pray you have select a good one.

So, write the shortest program that receives a color of your choice (from a given list), and randomly returns the taste selected. The taste has to be picked from a built-in list. The possible list of inputs and outputs are:

Input      Output choices [only one from the list]
--------------------------------------------------
green      lawn clippings, lime, mucus, pear
yellow     rotten eggs, buttered popcorn
blue       toothpaste, blue berry
orange     vomit, peach
brown      canned dog food, chocolate
white      stinky socks, tutti-frutti, baby diapers, coconut

Rules:

• You can assume that the input is going to be always a color from the input choices.
• Case and trailing spaces and/or newlines do not matter.
• Output must be uniformly random: succesive program executions must yield different results, and the chances of getting a given taste must be the same for all tastes in a list.

This is code-golf, so may the shortest program win!

Answer 1

C#, 418 313 305 271 bytes

s=>{var a="lawn clippings,lime,mucus,pear|rotten eggs,buttered popcorn|toothpaste,blue berry|vomit,peach|canned dog food,chocolate|stinky socks,tutti-frutti,baby diapers,coconut".Split('|')["eluaoi".IndexOf(s[2])].Split(',');return a[new System.Random().Next(a.Length)];}

Too long even for C# but I can't see how to get it any shorter.

Full/Formatted version:

using System;

class P
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Func<string, string> f = s =>
        {
            var a = "lawn clippings,lime,mucus,pear|rotten eggs,buttered popcorn|toothpaste,blue berry|vomit,peach|canned dog food,chocolate|stinky socks,tutti-frutti,baby diapers,coconut"
                    .Split('|')["eluaoi".IndexOf(s[2])].Split(',');

            return a[new System.Random().Next(a.Length)];
        };

        Console.WriteLine(f("green"));
        Console.WriteLine(f("yellow"));
        Console.WriteLine(f("blue"));
        Console.WriteLine(f("orange"));
        Console.WriteLine(f("brown"));
        Console.WriteLine(f("white"));

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Answer 2

JavaScript (ES6), 235 bytes

I need to figure out how to compress strings in JS!

c=>(a="lawn clippings,lime,mucus,pear|rotten eggs,buttered popcorn|toothpaste,blue berry|vomit,peach|canned dog food,chocolate|stinky socks,tutti-frutti,baby diapers,coconut".split`|`["eluaoi".search(c[2])].split`,`)[new Date%a.length]

If that's not "random enough" for your tastes then add 7 bytes replacing new Date with Math.random().

c=>(a="lawn clippings,lime,mucus,pear|rotten eggs,buttered popcorn|toothpaste,blue berry|vomit,peach|canned dog food,chocolate|stinky socks,tutti-frutti,baby diapers,coconut".split`|`["eluaoi".search(c[2])].split`,`)[Math.random()*a.length|0]

How?

Eighty-nine of the ninety-four bytes are a compressed list of eight strings. Two of these are empty strings and the other six are each newline separated flavours for one of the colours:

“...““...“...“...““...“...»
“...““...“...“...““...“...»
“                         » - a compression of dictionary words & or strings
    ““   “   “   ““   “     - list separations
    ^            ^          - the two empty lists of characters
 ...^ ... ... ...^ ... ...  - bytes used to encode the data
 wht  org grn ylw^ blu brn  - with the colours indicated. For example:
  1 2  3   4   5 6  7   0   -   “ḥĠḄĿĖṇ⁻Œḳ-¬"» is a compression of:
                            -     word     + word   + string + word       + word
                             -     "rotten" + " egg" + "s\n"  + "buttered" + " popcorn"
                             - and is at the fifth index, relating to "yellow"

The rest of the program parses the input to decide which list to use, splits the chosen list by newlines and picks a random element:

OḄị“...»ỴX - Main link:s e.g.: "blue"           "yellow"                  "brown"              "white"               "orange"                 "green"
O          - cast to ordinals  [98,108,117,101] [121,101,108,108,111,119] [98,114,111,119,110] [119,104,105,116,101] [111,114,97,110,103,101] [103,114,101,101,110]

  ị        - index into - 1 based and modular with 8 items so...
           -          indexes: 3276%8=4         7125%8=5                  1151%8=7             6899%8=3              3272%8=0                 3489%8=1
        Ỵ  - split at newlines (gets the list of flavours for the chosen colour)
         X - random choice (gets one of those flavours at random)

Test it yourself!

Could be golfed by using a char[].

However the random part can't be "uniformly distributed" without the explicit use of Random.nextInt(int). Even (int)(Math.random()*a.length) isn't uniformly distributed.

T-SQL, 432 423 375 367 336 295 bytes

Finally, a set-based operation!!

SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(value,2,99)
FROM t,STRING_SPLIT('elawn clippings-elime-emucus-epear-lrotten eggs-lbuttered popcorn-utoothpaste-ublue berry-avomit-apeach-ocanned dog food-ochocolate-istinky socks-itutti-frutti-ibaby diapers-icoconut','-')
WHERE SUBSTRING(c,3,1)=LEFT(value,1)
ORDER BY NEWID()

(Line breaks are for display and are not counted in total.)

Input is via column c in named table t, per our guidelines.

I'm simply joining our input table to a table full of the valid color/flavor combinations, then selecting a random row. ORDER BY NEWID() is a common way to randomize sort order in SQL. Depending on how strict you are, you might not consider it perfectly uniformly random, but it should be sufficiently random for jelly bean selection.

EDIT 1: Saved 9 bytes by using only the 3rd character of the color, inspired by other answers.

EDIT 2: Saved 48 bytes by putting the color flag and flavor in a single column. Lots of characters saved in the INSERT.

EDIT 3: Saved 8 bytes by replacing INSERT INTO b(o) with INSERT b

EDIT 4: Saved 31 more bytes by joining straight to the virtual table of VALUES and therefore eliminating the CREATE TABLE and INSERT.

EDIT 5: Save 41 bytes by upgrading to SQL 2016-only STRING_SPLIT function, which allows me to eliminate the variable and dynamic SQL execution.

Explanation: The fish's first task is to figure out what the input word is by zig-zagging down the left hand side. The fish can only read one letter at a time, and it takes fewer bytes to do this destructively. First, the fish reads the first letter and asks if it's "y" — if it is, the word is "yellow", otherwise it moves on. It then reads the second letter — if it's "l", the word is "blue", otherwise it moves on; and so on. If it reads five letters and they don't match "y" (Yellow), "l" (bLue), "o" (brOwn), "n" (oraNge) or "n" (greeN) respectively, then the colour must have been "white".

Next comes the random bit. For the colours with two possible outputs, this is pretty straightforward — for yellow, for example, the fish enters the following code at the x:

/\
\x"sgge nettor"
 \"nrocpop derettub"

The x sets the direction randomly: if it's up or left, the fish swirls around the mirrors back to the x, but if it's right or down, it reads "rotten eggs" or "buttered popcorn" (in reverse).

The four-way splits (for white and green) are messier, but they follow the same general principal — the first is:

     >x\
"lime" x"sgnippilc nwal"
"pear"x   "sucum"
      __

Note that if the fish swims up from the first x, it passes through eight "s, which toggle string mode on and off four times, then it hits a mirror and swims back down.

To get to the last four-way split, the fish has to swim through the e and r of "lime" and "pear", which add e = 14 to the stack (and reverse it), so we first have to delete that with ~. One of the four branches also involves swimming through a junk string, "> ", which we delete with ~~.

    \   /~~"srepaid ybab"
    e   "
    r    _
    \~  >x\
"coconut" x"skcos yknits"
        \x_"itturf-ittut"
         _

Finally, after adding one of the bean flavours to the stack, the fish reaches the stream of vs in the leftmost column, which sends it to

v    \
v    o
>l?!;/

which prints characters (using one of the os in "coconut") until there are none left.

Same idea as the others, I can just save some space compared to other languages. Compressing strings seems like a lost cause.
