Artober prompt generator / Simon N
This is a simple generator for shuffling words into phrases. I use them as prompts for an Artober drawing project.
Using the generator, you'll get at minimum a noun, sometimes a few adjectives, most times a verb, occasionally an adverb.
The resulting phrases are quite a bit more textured than other one-word prompts. I find the added complexity inspiring, if occasionally mildly baffling. I also keep a dictionary handy!
The generator has no way to check for verb tenses and conjugations, so you'll have to live with occasional grammar lapses. The word lists are very comprehensive!
I use seed 2023 for Artober 2023. You can use any seed you like, and the generator should return to the same sequence. I made some sort of mistake in the random number generator, which causes the phrases to tend towards alliteration. Naturally, I've kept this erroneous code!
You'll find some of the resulting drawings here, on my website. If you use this for something, do let me know!
Cheers, Simon N
