    :black_nib: Markov process-based procedural name and word generator demo

  • When first posted about my generator, I've been told that there is MarkovNameGenerator by Tw1ddle on GitHub: https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator. Well, thinking about it, I'd still made my own generator, because procedural generation is so much fun :) In the pros of my generator is that it's a tiny js file, however, you'll need to feed it with learning samples, while Tw1ddle's one has a great variety of learning samples pre-gathered and multiple work modes.

  • 3DWorld

    3D Procedural Game Engine Using OpenGL

  • I did something similar to that, except I added in common pairs of vowels and consonant blends, plus separate weights for each one to make some of them show up more frequently than others. Then I had to add a few rules to forbid certain combinations (like uses of the 'q') and limits on the min/max lengths of words. I don't remember seeing any swear words, but I do remember generating a "Porn Street." Some of the code (for planets/moons/stars) can be found here: https://github.com/fegennari/3DWorld/blob/master/src/Universe_name.cpp
