Mark Adcock's Programmer's Gibberish about his Gibberish Program

At the prompt, type in the number of sentances for the story, the filename and the title. Then read and laugh.

There is no AI or clever techniques to this program, but *lots* of little fiddly bits. It has lists of verbs, nouns and adjectives and it strings them together according to several hard coded sentance structures. The program may put a relative clause after an object, either in brackets or seperated by commas. This sentances can start in a number of ways. A random word such as "then","eventually" or "maybe" can be added to the front. Alternatively, the program may put a sentance with a participle at the start. Eg "Having ate a rabbit, the fox died"
There are several distinct sentance structures (detailed below):
a) Ones consisting simply of verbs and nouns, relatives and adjectives
b) ones like "<noun> <verb> that <sentance>" (eg "Another rabbit saw that the fox had died") or "when/after/because/since <noun> <verb> that <sentance>, <sentance>" (eg "When the other rabbit had seen that the fox had died, it was happy")
c) Ones like "<noun> <verb> <adjective>" - eg "The Rabbit was happy"
d) Ones like "<noun> <verb> so <adjective> <sentance>" - eg "The Rabbit was so happy that it didn't notice the other fox creeping up behind it"
e) Ones like "<noun> <verb> more <adjective> than <noun>" - eg "The other fox was more cunning than the other fox"
f) "<noun> verb> so more <adjective> than <noun> that <sentance>" - eg "The other fox was so more intelligent than the rabbit that it caught it"
g) "<noun> '<Sentance>'" - eg "The other fox said 'That rabbit tasted good'"
To allow the program to make some vague sense, each object (noun,verb or adjective) also has a control word:
For Nouns:
---------
bits 0+1 : gender 00=neuter
01=male
10=female
(this is needed to correctly substitute 'he','she','it' and 'himself','herself','itself')
bit 2 : if true, noun is a propor noun (In which case, the program doesn't put an adjective or 'the','a','another' or 'the other' before it
bit 3 : must be 0. (originally had meaning, now obsolete)
bit 4 : must be 1. (originally had meaning, now obsolete)
bit 5 : if true, don't used as subject of sentance
bit 6 : if true, ok to use after a verb with no preposition
bit 7 : if true, ok to use after a verb with "to"
bit 8 : if true, ok to use after a verb with "from"
bit 9 : if true, ok to use after a verb with "with"
For Adjectives:
---------------
bit 0 : if true, can use adjective with neuter word (stops "the excited desk")
bit 1 : if true, can use adjective with masculine word (stops "the beautiful man")
bit 2 : if true, can use adjective with feminine word (stops "the handsome woman")
For Verbs:
----------
Each bit, if true, says whether a verb can be used with a particular sentance structure:
Bit Sentance type
=== =============
0 - <verb> <adjective>
1 - <verb> that <phrase>, <phrase>
2 - <verb> to <infinitive sentance> �
3 - <verb> <noun>
4 - <verb> <noun> to <noun>
5 - <verb> with <noun> to <noun>
6 - <verb> with <noun>
7 - <verb> <noun> with <noun>
8 - <verb> to <noun>
9 - <verb> with <noun> to <noun> from <noun>
10 - <verb> "<sentance>"
11 - <verb> <noun> from <noun>
12 - <verb> <noun> with <noun> to <noun>
13 - <verb> <noun> from <noun> to <noun>
14 - <verb> <noun> with <noun> to <noun> from <noun>
15 - <verb> from <noun>
16 - <verb> from <noun> to <noun>
17 - <verb> with <noun> from <noun>
18 - <verb> <noun> from <noun> with <noun>
19 - <verb>
[ � I never got around to "<noun> <verb> <sentance in infinitive>" (Eg "The other Fox began to feel ill"), but the bit remains.]
Other Details
-------------
This pogram has to do loads of fiddly things to make the output realistic:
* The relatives work by calling the main sentance PROCedure with a flag set to stop you getting nested relatives
* The first time it uses a noun, it outputs "a <noun>". The next time is says "another", then it oscillates between "the" and "the other". Periodically it forgets and starts again with "a"
* If during the same sentance the program tries to use the same noun as an object, it will write "itself" etc. Just before a relative clause, the program stores the data about which object it's used so far in the sentance and then resets them to 0. After the end of the relative clause, it loads them again. So you *could* get "The mouse (which had realised that another cat had hurt itself) decided to hit itself with another cat" rather than "The mouse (which had realised that another cat had hurt itself) decided to hurt itself with itself", which sounds *too* silly)
* The quotes nest themselves, and are paired. Eg. "the other annoying monster said �When The lion had seen that another boy went to the other tiger the angry rabbit said �Another young dog had thrown MicroSoft to a short surrounding area��" (actual sentance from program). This adds a certain 'style' to the nonsense.
* The program changes "a" to "an" when appropriate
* When picking a noun for use after a verb, there is a greater chance that it will pick one it hasn't used in that sentance already.
* It tries not to repeat adjectives in the same sentance
* It tries not to do a sentance like "when mark realised that a rabbit had noticed that a fox had found out that the other fox was dead"
[ I'm afraid I had to squish this program, so it may not be very readable. But it's not the sort of program you'd want to read, because there are no new or exciting techniques there. The list of words is also very small ]
PS: Try changing PROCPRINT so it outputs the text to a speech synthesiser: For Sensible Software's one you'd do this-
DEF PROCPRINT(s$)
OSCLI "sayw "+s$
ENDPROC
( I think it would be good to make it multitasking and get it to say a few sentances every minute or so :)
