Dear Thousand Parsec Folks, I've essayed a response to this tracker issue from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1460527&group_id=132078&atid=829724 [ 1460527 ] Design a Planet name/description generator Design a Planet name/description generator A generator for planet names and descriptions. Something using phonetics would be good so that people can actually say the names. Descriptions should be one or two paragraphs long and should not describe things which could actually effect the game. See http://www.seventhsanctum.com/ for ideas and hints. All these results should be "seeded" generators so that we can get the same results by putting in the same number(s). Here's my current status on this issue: * Coded a seeded name generator in Python suitable (with appropriate data file input) for planet name generation. * Assembled sample name data files based on Greek and Persian cities and Star Wars systems. * Published my source code to GitHub: http://github.com/jmeowmeow/tpjsmiller/tree/master a.k.a. http://ln-s.net/25Tf -- generated by the #tp channel bot * Put up a demonstration app with this code running at http://tpnames.appspot.com * Next: either work on a description generator or an image generator. These might take some input beyond the seed, such as a planet size, habitability class, or other special planet properties. Submitted for your consideration, Jeff Miller P.S.: Mithro, thanks for your help getting me oriented.
