Generates a series of fictional advertisements of > 50,000 words. The solution in the first ad becomes the problem in the second ad, and so on.
Please note: This code requires that:
rubyis installed on your machine and- you have the
yeetwords.rbfile from the YeetWords repository (see below for where to place it).
To run this ad generator, first download the contents of this repository into your working directory. You will also need to download the yeetwords.rb file from the YeetWords repository (I used v 1.1.3 but any version 1.1.0 and above should work) and place it at the same directory as ads.txt from this repository.
Then in your command line, type ruby yeetwords.rb ads.txt
A file of fictional advertisements of > 50,000 words in markdown format will be generated. The solution in the first ad becomes the problem in the second ad, and so on. You will not prompted for anything except for the output filename if a file with the default name already exists.
