This challenge was to make a "Random Name Generator"
It would create name for things like alien creatures, futuristic names of people, planets, or ancient / mythical countries & monsters.
Judging was based on:
- The number of names that i consider 'believable' out of a generation of 100 from your program. "xqyzflagglebbb" will not count! also, duplicates or near duplicates (1 letter off) will not count.
- The size of your code. smaller is better. this is basically to eliminate 5 pages of DATA statements, so that you come up with some algorithms...some DATA is of course OK. (don't be too afraid of size...)
- Anything that sets your code apart... file saving? sorting? can your program tell a story with its new words?! does it accept user input? (#3 is not necessary...)
