Right, sure, I was just wondering how to mechanically split a word into syllables. I don't know of any clean way to do it in English, although I guess it also doesn't really matter if you screw up... |

Well once you split single words into syllabes (with the 3-4 main italian rules for syllabation), the markov model will work fine. A word becomes a syllable, a sentence becomes a word.
I should try the letter-by-letter structure now... |

Oh yeah, that one has got to go in there...
Farina, pretty cool... do you pick out the syllables manually or with some other method? My names were actually generated with my 'homework' system (makes random texts based on a hand-written script), though there is also the 'froodspeak' system which learns a markov model from words (but not syllables).

Another piece of software we share!
Using the same kind of procedure I use to power Isabot (http://www.livejournal.com/users/isabot), I collected syllabes (instead of words) from thousands names from all over the world. Then, I recombined it with markov chains and... the result is pretty much the same. Some examples:

Tadbot: confirmed, thanks. I'm sure it's some small math problem like you said, since I hardly finished the large-level editing stuff before taking a break from Escape to work on nanowrimo this month. I'll fix this as soon as I get back to working on it.
I look forward to your levels! |

It took me a while, but I beat the "I Love Gold!" level, so I took a few minutes to fool around with level editing again and found a bug:
You make a larger-than-the-screen level, and scroll the level right and/or down, so that you're looking at a region that is outside of the initially visible upper left section of the level.
Then, when you try to add a tile (so that you're adding it outside of the initial upper left screen), it puts the tile in the incorrect position - you can only put tiles in the initial upper left screen area.
It's probably due to the cursor position relative to the current screen being used for where the user clicks, but the placed tile is placed in that position relative to the upper left/initial screen area. In the case of a smaller-than-screen level, these 2 are the same location, but they're different when you're looking at an area outside of the usual 18x20 (or whatever it is) map. |

[ Quake 3 Done! ]
I have been playing the game off and on since it first came out in 99 (or was it the end of 98?). I think it is a great game for improving your 1st person shooter skills! When I first started to play the game I could barely beat it on "Hurt me plenty". Now I can beat about 2/3 of the levels on Nightmare with ease. Thanks to that I have noticed a huge improvement in my playing skills of other 1st person shooters. The level I thought was the hardest to beat on nightmare in my opinion was Q3DM16 (DAMN DOOM!). |

Yeah, Mettez vos mains dans le ciel is grammatically correct.
I just think french people would think you meant they had to detach their hands and place them physically into the air.
