Name Generators for NPCs to populate your RPG (or any other game) - Nightly This post will go over some name generation algorithms. As humans beings we can easily make up names - watch: Bob, Orthur, Sonstig, Rachon How can we make the computer do something similar? 1. Open notepad, start typing names. When you create a NPC you check gender, choose the correct list then randomly choose an entry. Advantages Names will always be sensible (no "wwprojh" or offensive words)No CPU cycles are spent on generation algorithms. Disadvantages Takes a lot of time and effort. *stratification: Perhaps you'd like names associated by birth place. The big list approach has enough drawbacks for us to want something better. 2. By using a markov chaining algorithm we recieve a data structure that can produce many different names. A markov algorithm has two important parameters, the first is the data sequence. Example 1. The data sequence will be the following three words. bagbatate Each word we'll feed into the algorithm ... and this is what will happen: First Rule: b -> a b|ag b -> aa -> g a
Accueil An Army of Solipsists » ThisWeekInGrails The big news is that Grails 2.3 M1 was released . 2.3 will be a big update with many fixes, enhancements, and new features.

Have not used this, however from what I gather *very* quick to assemble a webapp. Thing that confused me was how do I leverage existing DAO's etc in grails. There is scaffolding which assembles a CRUD page for your entities you have defined, which use ORM/JPA to persist unless I am mistaken. by superunknown Apr 10
