You mentioned procedurally generated food; in case you want to just fetch something, or as inspiration, here's an API https://github.com/hugovk/whatsonthemenu (as used by https://github.com/hugovk/menubot). |
Awesome! Thanks :) |

Change of plans! Fictional scientific papers! Procjam took up basically half the month! Making a social simulation that translates events to text is feeling a lot less feasible in two weeks than four. So, new plan:
I expect some of these fields will be easier than others to translate into an at-least-semi-coherent IMRAD format. So the next task will be to identify what sort of details need to be made up in each case, what kinds of logic they will need to conform to to make sense, and what kind of translation work will be required. |
Had a closer look at the snarXiv for inspiration regarding how to procedurally generate studies about physicsy things like time travel/teleportation/FTL, and the conclusion was "nope". Going to try to generate neuropunk studies in the style of Dollhouse and Stitchers. But with less plot and more white coats. Probably with an expert system to plan focussed experiments where everything satisfies relevance constraints. |
Threw together a simple CFG generator to assist with translating information into text. Still needs options to process capitalisation, plurals, etc. Sample output: |
The repository for my entry is now online. I'm using PyDDL (forked to add Python 3 compatability, and with a few wrapper classes) to solve surgery planning tasks as STRIPS problems. So far just a basic example operation, but it's working: |
I think there's a bit too much work to do on this project before December, and I'm happy with how #125 turned out so I'll finish this some other time. Maybe for NaNoGenMo 2017, or after my PROCJAM project is done. |
Scientific journal articles about wacky sci-fi brain surgery shenanigans!
