Aphorism Generator in FUZE4
-
It's really cool that you have the same program idea since 1993, and keep re-doing it in different languages-- it's kind of a meta concept, I've never thought of doing something like that!
-
it's not so much of a serious as heck program as it is a formulaic idea that serves as a way to see how a new language handles arrays and choices... it's easy enough to figure out how to set up in most languages and shows the programmer a good introduction to some primary functions of each language.

I have finally recoded the first version for Aphorism Generator 1.0.
This one has just 1 sentence structure and 5 words for each word type.
I had to get the basic engine fleshed out first and NOW I will be building different sentence structures
and many more words for 1.1.2.0 will actually allow user input once I figure it out, and possibly scoring for if your words are used!
-
I would love to share this and I have opened it for sharing.. have fun and go mad! Just remember to change the variable counts when you do add more words
and such so that they are included in the sentences or you wont see them appear.MY SWITCH FRIEND CODE

I am now going to finish watching the new tutorials!! What a blast!
-
Okay.. I am ready to get back to the program... I had a lot of fun watching the screen tutorial and I plan to have some random graphics fun in my next project, but I need to get the Aphorism Generator where it really needs to BE... something pretty fun for a rainy day... so next I will be adding plenty more words, AND a higher sentence structure count to boot. STAY TUNED LOVIES!!

Version 1.1 has 25 words each for MOST word types, as well as NEW word types AND 3 DIFFERENT sentence structures.. ALMOST DONE....
-
Okay. Version 1.1 is done with 25 words (mostly) for each word type and now 3 different sentence structures!

This thing is hilarious, it's like "Madlibs"-- I used to do those all the time as a kid! One thing though, I noticed the output was getting cut off in handheld mode, not sure if you've tried it there.
-
Oh really? ok no I have not.. I need to check handheld mode now and see.. one of the sentence structures is longer and that may very well be so... thank you. Please send a friend request my way and you can play with this yourself!!

@Ancientspark Cool! I wrote a program once that used Markov chains to mash up text from books I downloaded from Project Gutenberg. At one point it spat out "Tarzan leapt over the chair and fired his raygun" and I felt pleased. It certainly spat out a lot of grammatically correct nonsense though.
-
@Ancientspark Yikes. Thanks for letting us know about it.
-
Yikes? did I startle you?
-
@Ancientspark That was me discovering that "replying" on the forum replies to the whole thread rather than the specific post. I was referring to the data loss problem you had when I said "yikes," and yes, that one strikes fear into my heart ;)
-
Ohhh yeah.. I'm recovered from that now.. thankfully I had not gone TOO far with it at that point. I also made some positive changes in my code to affect future versions so all is well! :)
