Title: Cack Short: Produce random, insensible sentences (v0.02) ShortName: cack.arc Author: Jon Ribbens of Doggysoft Date: 6-jan-1994 Status: Freeware Archiver: SparkFS Size: ================================= Description: Ho hum. A cack generator. Just what you always wanted. Aren't you lucky? Basically, it produces insensible sentences in a little window. You get a different sentence every thirty seconds, or whenever you click with select or adjust on the window. Here's some examples of its output: The very rippled lasagne boredly strangles the deafening, yet underhandedly pointed notebook, for fully the short sheep pushes a squishy, yet cleverly flat llama. The quietly round fruiterer confidently mends the fractiously rigid periodic table, for quietly the underhandedly red stick squashes a potato. Strangle the hugely sharpened snake noisily, for pert lasagnes occasionally over-confidently and noisily shoot squishy, yet vapidly floppy vegetables. And much more along the same lines... It's all very pointless. You can insert the current message at the text cursor by selecting the menu option 'Insert'. Changing the program to have different objects, descriptions and actions is pretty easy - just go to the end of the program and edit the data. The numbers indicate how many of each type of word there are. If I was a marketing-type I'd probably describe this program as "using advanced artificial-intelligence techniques to cleverly simulate the patterns and behaviour of everyday human speech", but then I'd be lying. Oh yeah, if anyone can come up with a use for this program, I'd be interested to hear it ;)
