EgoWiki . Documentation . ZippyNameGenerator

The name generator for Zippy 0.0.3 is defined in basicdat/naming.lua. It is a class that generates a name randomly from a set of options for each of a pre-defined set of "slices". It is very similar to the "chop-style" generator built into the original engine. The following is an example of name generation using this class:

namegen = NameGenerator(List({"Pl", "Gr",  "D", "W", "L"},
                             {"u",  "o",   "a"},
                             {"mp", "ggy", "mp", "nk", "mple"}))

namegen:seed_generator(tonumber(date("%s")))
print("Name: ", namegen:new_name())

This example generates names such as "Plaggy" and "Lonk".
