Description

Pretty self explanatory. A simple program that pulls words from some tables, and inserts them into a short story, constructed from sentence fragments. May make a modified version that uses user input words.


Features

  • Randomly pulls words from tables of words, and inserts them into a story. Nearly endless amount of combinations.
    • Separate, easily modifiable word tables for adjectives, nouns, verbs, and sentences.
  • Endless hours of fun! (Not really, but whatever).

Changelog

0.2.0

  • Now constructs stories using sentence fragments.
  • Cleaned up word tables.
    • All nouns combined into one noun table.
    • All verbs combined into one verb table.
  • Words picked from the word tables are now removed from their respective tables. No more duplicate words in stories.
  • Cleaned up comments in the code.

0.1.0

  • Wrote basic program.
  • Uploaded program to GitHub.

To-do List

  • Make it so Adlibber uses the user's own words.
    • Ask the user for ~10 words. A couple of names, A few nouns, and a few adjectives perhaps.
    • If user doesn't want to use their own words, Adlibber should pull words from it's word tables
  • Put all word variables into one table, using subtables.
  • Write some sort of sentence constructor function. Print ain't cutting it.
  • If possible, I would like a 'universal' function that can retrieve a word from any table, determined by an argument, and return the word.
  • Condense sentence fragments into one table, with subtables.
