Tought I'd take a go at a simple word maker. The parameters are; word length, first capital letter, and if the word starts with vowel. Can be useful for people looking at original words they wish to find. | |||||
Dim a$(8) Restore letters For i = 1 To 8 Read a$(i) Next .letters ;1 Data "aeiouy" Data "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz" ;2 Data "abacadaeafagahaiajakalamanaoapaqarasatauavawaxayaz" Data "eaebecedefegeheiejekelemeneoepeqereseteuevewexeyez" Data "iaibicidieifigihijikiliminioipiqirisitiuiviwixiyiz" Data "oaobocodoeofogohoiojokolomonopoqorosotouovowoxoyoz" Data "uaubucudueufuguhuiujukulumunuoupuqurusutuvuwuxuyuz" Data "yaybycydyeyfygyhyiyjykylymynyoypyqyrysytyuyvywyxyz" Function word_maker$(ln%, c% = False, s% = False) word$ = "" If s% <> False Then q% = s% Else q% = Rand(1,2) EndIf For l% = 1 To ln% If q = 1 Then ; vowel x% = Rand(1,6) If Rand(1,2) = 1 Or l = ln Then ; 1 letter word$ = word$ + Mid$(a$(1),x,1) q% = 2 Else ; two letters y% = Rand(1,25) word$ = word$ + Mid$(a$(x+2),y*2,2) l = l + 1 q% = Rand(1,2) EndIf Else z% = Rand(1,20) word$ = word$ + Mid$(a$(2),z,1) q% = 1 EndIf Next If c = True Then word$ = Upper$(Left$(word,1)) + Mid$(word$, 2, ln - 1) EndIf Return word$ End Function SeedRnd (MilliSecs()) For i = 1 To 20 Print word_maker$(Rand(2,8)) Next WaitKey() End |

Nice. I'm terrible at making up names for things. This could be very useful. |
