Chain Punk ⛓👽

Chain Punk generates text from markov chains defined by configurable patterns.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'chain_punk'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install chain_punk

Generate five names from a sample set of English names:

require 'chain_punk'

text = IO.read('docs/names.txt').downcase
corpus = ChainPunk::Corpus.new(text, closures: ["\n"], exclusions: [' '])
generator = ChainPunk::Generator.new(corpus.frequency_table)
[*1..5].each { puts generator.generate(rand(4..8)).capitalize }

Outputs:

Iniandi
Frbbemar
Gitelil
Relinor
Mapo

Generate five sentences from a translation of the Code of Hammurabi:

require 'chain_punk'

text = IO.read('docs/code_of_hammurabi.txt')
corpus = ChainPunk::Corpus.new(text, boundaries: [' '], closures: ['.', ';'])
generator = ChainPunk::Generator.new(corpus.frequency_table)
[*1..5].each { puts generator.generate(rand(4..8),  boundary: ' ') }

Outputs:

Dam-gal-nunna, who supplied water
protected the divine city
scepter and promoted the weak,
put into execution the
settlement of all mankind to shine brilliantly
