Nonsense Language Author #108

Open superbiasedman opened 6 years ago

superbiasedman commented 6 years ago

Hello! I heard about this the other week and pretty quickly started out on an idea but I hadn't posted yet.

My idea is a fairly basic one. The book is generated of nonsense words made up by a script. It uses a weighted set of characters as well as word, sentence and paragraph lengths to make things that look approximately like real words but read as pure gibberish.

After getting the basics of it working, I've been adding code so that it can parse a source text file and read the frequency of characters from the source as well as other data to replicate when it generates its own nonsense book.

I had to hardcode in certain rules to make it behave decently, but it's working relatively well and I hope to tweak and play with it more to read more diverse sources as well as tidying up a bit. But you can see the current state of it here:

There's sample output available here:

(though it doesn't retain the formatting properly)
