The Epic of Tweet #96

Open adlpr opened 10 years ago

adlpr commented 10 years ago

The Epic of Tweet is a 8,989-line epic poem generated from tweets collected November 14-16, 2014.

PyScop generates Anglo-Saxon-style alliterative verse from a set of English input sentences.

Some rough sample output of 150 lines using Moby Dick.

That sample output is pretty compelling!

What is it with Moby Dick this year?

I swear, the next repo to show up is going to be nouvelle cusine recipes for Whales (as found on Twitter).

What if there was a requirement to use "Moby Dick" as source material for everybody?

NaMoDiMo!

For a year or two, pentametron has been collecting tweets that are anagrams of lines from Moby Dick, for a project I never got around to launching. If anyone wants them...

(argh, @adlpr beat me to it!)

MichaelPaulukonis commented 10 years ago

I'm in.

adlpr commented 10 years ago

Added a novel-length output and linked to source. Not yet sure if I'm 100% satisfied with the outcome, might make a few more tweaks (hell, or just tear it down and start over) before the month is up, but call that an entry for now. :P
