Name Generator

[LambdaSix]

Implement a random name generator using syllables & phonemes with a configurable rule system.

A name generator would define lists of Syllables in various positional intentions, then combine those into a rule definition. The rule definition is randomly picked when asked to generate a name by that generator.

Any letters not prefixed by a $ are string literal in the output, any underscores are replaced by a space in the output. Rule symbols where a number follows the $ are treated as percentage based and will print that syllable group based on that percentage chance.

For example '$s$50m$e' would define a rule that will generate a first name made of a start, middle and end syllables, but with a 50% chance of not generating the middle syllable in the output.

A special token, %, can be used at the start of a rule to indicate the entire rule has a n percentage chance of running at all, if it fails it's check, another rule will be picked at random. The other special token ? can be used to generate a Phoneme, which is either a Vocal or a Consonant at random with a 50% chance.

A character prefixed with \ is escaped and printed literally, for example \$ or \? print $ and ? without invoking the token exchange.

Sections of a name generator and the symbol used in the rule:

Name	Rule Symbol
SyllablePre	$[int]P
SyllableStart	$[int]s
SyllableMiddle	$[int]m
SyllableEnd	$[int]e
SyllablePost	$[int]p
SyllableVocal	$[int]v
SyllableConsonant	$[int]c
SyllablePhoneme	$[int]?
RuleChancePrefix	%

First draft done.

Things left to do are

• [x] Probability of selection
• [x] RuleChancePrefix
• [x] Weighting of possible selections

Change to behaviour: Spaces are captured as part of a literal, they do not need to be (but still can be) escaped, underscores are captured as literal as well

And input rule of "Hello World" will appear as "Hello World" directly.
