Random Gibberish, literally

So I wanted to write a party combat simulator for Tunnels and Trolls in perl.  Then I thought, I’d like to play this on my phone so I started learning objective-c.  Then I started writing a roguelike text adventure from scratch (like angband, for example).  It’s all just a shell and I might not ever finish it, but that’s part of the fun. The other part of the fun is that I haven’t even finished the simple parts of this party combat simulator because I’m having fun doing other random shit totally unrelated to combat.

One of the things that I wanted to incorporate into this game was random names.  That expanded to language, as in if your character doesn’t speak one, they see gibberish on the screen that sounds like I think a language should sound.  Just like the greeks thought that anyone not speaking greek sound all “bar bar” and we get barbarian out of it.  And if I was playing an ork, I wanted the human language to have the same feel.  And that’s how you get gibberish like Tabritaney, which I’m sure after this post will climb to the top 5 girl baby names within the next 10 years.

I’ve got stupid names, low rat names, dwarf, cthulhu names, magic language, guy names, girl names, guy/girl gibberish, insect, ork, elf, stupid, and hyperborean.  I think it’s kind of cool how you can generate something so typical with only about 20-25 syllables from representative words (about double that for boys and girls, and quadruple for human gibberish).  And honestly, some of these random names are pretty awesome.  Look out, Old Ancient One *GURGLE*shub is on to you.  He or she is no ordinary dwarf, he or she is Dazdazang Clangedcleng Mormineclang.  That’s also the sound he or she makes when he or she is sneaking.

So far, I think ork is my favorite, but dwarf is not far behind.  If you feel like reading about 650 random names and guessing what matches up to what, this is your lucky day.
