For NaNoGenMo 2020, I plan on writing code to generate a field guide to help you survive a magical, whimsical forest.
The current flora text was pulled from this Project Gutenberg entry. It has been split up by me.
The current fauna text was pulled from this Project Gutenberg entry. It has been split up by me.
Both of their introductions were used by a markov chain for my introduction.
The original plan. This might get changes as I go along
Sections on:
- Author's notes
- Table of Contents
- Flora
- Fauna

Entries will consist of
- a name
- text describing the item
- any warnings about it.
The name will most likely be generated based on a format with specific words pulled from corpuses. The text will likely be markov chain generated (unsure of source). The warnings will periodically added and will most likely be a format filled with specific based on the name and/or key words in the entry.

*Stretch goals*: If I complete what I have fast enough and don't want to start another project, I will possibly attempt these extra tasks:
- NLP
- Hook the gen script up to processing or blender or another similar software to generate a few plants for artwork throughout the text.
markdown library
I use a style string that I pulled from dillinger.io's export as html.
