Generating random words

This sure is an ugly pug. It makes random "words" out of bargonaut's letters file (watch the filename in the include!) I used this to make a "word tree"

It can be used as an include file. After each word is displayed, the rule WORD_HOOK is called; you can use this in your own files to continue drawing at a point {x 1.1} after the end of the last letter.

The "words" remind me of something out of an IKEA catalogue.

Code: Select all

startshape RAND_INIT

include bargonaut_font.cfdg

### scene set-up ###

rule RAND_INIT {
	WORD{}
	RAND_WORD_INIT_R {y -2}
	RAND_INIT_R {x 16}
}

rule RAND_INIT_R 2 {
	WORD{}
	RAND_WORD_INIT_R {y -2}
	RAND_INIT_R {x 16}
}
rule RAND_INIT_R {}

rule RAND_WORD_INIT_R 8 {
	WORD{}
	RAND_WORD_INIT_R {y -2}
}
rule RAND_WORD_INIT_R 8 {
	WORD{}
	RAND_WORD_INIT_R {y -2}
}
rule RAND_WORD_INIT_R 3 {
}

Very nice shot !
This word/sentence thing is very interesting.

I was wondering what was your mother tongue - peut-Ãªtre FranÃ§ais, avec un pseudo pareil ?

Hello can we make a word tree from a given,
fixed sentence or from two or three fixed words?

Thanks in advanced
