Fantasy name generator

Fantasy Name Generator

Five implementations -- JavaScript, Typescript, C++, Elisp, and Perl -- of the name generator described at RinkWorks. The Typescript and C++ implementations are by far the most mature.

JavaScript

The JavaScript version uses an optimizing template-compiler to create an efficient generator object.

var generator = NameGen.compile("sV'i");
generator.toString();  // => "entheu'loaf"
generator.toString();  // => "honi'munch"

Typescript

The Typescript version is based on the C++ version.

import NameGen from "./utils/namegen";
let generator = new NameGen.Generator("sV'i");
generator.toString();  // => "entheu'loaf"
generator.toString();  // => "honi'munch"

C++

The C++ version also uses a template-compiler (based on the one for JavaScript) to create an efficient generator object. It requires C++11.

NameGen::Generator generator("sV'i");
generator.toString();  // => "drai'sneeze"
generator.toString();  // => "ardou'bumble"

C

The C version generates names directly from the template in a single pass:

char name[64];
unsigned long seed = 0xb9584b61UL;
namegen(name, sizeof(name), "sV'i", &seed);

This is the fastest implementation.

Emacs Lisp

The Emacs Lisp version doesn't include a parser. It operates on s-expressions.

(fset 'generator (apply-partially #'namegen '(s V "'" i)))
(generator)  ; => "essei'knocker"
(generator)  ; => "tiaoe'nit"

Perl

The Perl version is exceptionally slow, due to a slow parser.

generate("sV'i");  # => "echoi'bum"

This is the slowest implementation.
