Random Spellcard Name Generator [C++]

[Sparen]

Hello Danmaku makers! Have you ever been at a loss as to what to name your spell card? Well, I'm building a tool to make that less stressful!

I present, the Random Spellcard Name Generator!

https://github.com/Sparen/RandomSpellcardGenerator

I will be using Github's Release functionality in the future to save snapshots of versions. Read the description in the repo for details on the characters supported. This is currently a work in progress, although it will be built up in time.

If you would like to contribute to this project, please send a pull request or dump code here for me to insert.

Note on Pull Requests:
--Any major modifications of the system will be denied
--If there are compilation or executable files (IE you did not run make clean before pushing to Github), your request will be denied

LATEST RELEASE:
*for latest code, please refer to the github repository
V0.08 Release
Release Post on this thread

NOTES ON COMPILING FROM SOURCE:
If using the Unix Command Line (MacOSX/Linux Terminal), cd to the directory and type 'make' without quotes. Other instructions are in ReadMe
If using Windows, there are multiple options (ignore if you know how to compile on Windows). Make for Windows, Cygwin, and NMake are among the possible options. (We recommend Make for Windows)
We will try to provide packages with a pre-compiled executable for major releases.

If you are looking for Fluffy8x's generator, written in Haskell with Japanese support, please refer to

There was progress today

Rumia, Letty, the Prismriver Sisters, Kisume, Kogasa, and Wakasagihime (and perhaps others) were added today (canon only). More to come. Results for default have begun to get interesting, with names such as the following appearing:

Umbrella Sign: Duplex Dimensional Kick
Scattered Spirit: Omnidirectional Treasured Orb
Holy Relic: Sky-Conquering Night Carnival
Well Bucket: Umbrella Wind-Buddha Kick

EDIT: Chen and Ran added

[Sparen]

SO MUCH PROGRESS

Added today:
Wriggle, Mystia, Tewi, Sekibanki, Momiji, Shizuha, Minoriko, Medicine, Yuuka, Shikieiki, Kyouko, Yamame, Parsee, Yuugi, Satori, Nazrin, Shou, Murasa, Hatate, Yoshika, and Seiga!

Of course, I will probably edit this post to dump like 10 more. But we're getting to the more frustrating part where there are 30+ spell cards per character, and I have yet to dig up people's scripts to add in new words

[Sparen]

Today, we have new option flags from Fluffy8x, as well as multi name support (the spell card names can be taken from a pool of multiple characters as opposed to a single on or all of them)

We also have some new characters added, or at least their official spell cards.
-Orin
-Utsuho
-Kagerou
-Flandre
-Keine
-Mokou
-Benben & Yatsuhashi

As can be seen from the roster, I am holding off on the characters who have appeared in fighting games because they have way more spells than other characters (even if Reimu and Marisa are done, there are still hundreds more spells to categorize)

[Sparen]

A few minutes ago, I snapshotted our second release:

https://github.com/Sparen/RandomSpellcardGenerator/releases/tag/v0.02

We now support 49 characters, so it's no longer worth listing them. You also do not need to touch the actual code at all if you want to help us out, since the database files are now separate from the code.

New features:
-Multiname Supoort (Thanks to Fluffy8x)
-Dual Spellcards (Thanks to Fluffy8x)
-External Database (Thanks to Fluffy8x)
-Aliases (e.g. Okuu works in place of Utsuho) (Thanks to Fluffy8x)

Vague Recollection: Firefly Destructor
---Satori, what is this?!

I just have a question, how do we use this? I downloaded it, but I don't know how to use it.

Type make and an executable should appear.

(edit: you forgot formatters!)

[Sparen]

I just have a question, how do we use this? I downloaded it, but I don't know how to use it.

Type make and an executable should appear.

If you are on windows, you will probably want to run 'make' inside the directory (use cmd.exe)

If you are on Linux/Mac, you will want to open the Terminal, cd to the directory with the code, and then run make. From that point onwards, the directions in the Readme should be sufficient

[Validon98]

Just tried that myself. I don't think "make" works on regular old command prompt.

Did you try adding the directory of your make installation to your PATH variable?

[TTBD]

I've just tried using cmd.exe for make, and this is what comes up.

Code: [Select]

'make' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operal program or batch file.
And that's what it says for me when I type in 'make'.

Did you type it *without quotes*?

[Validon98]

Did you try adding the directory of your make installation to your PATH variable?

Yep, did that, still doesn't work, typed make without quotes, doesn't work either. I have a sneaking suspicion it isn't working because of a lack of mingw or something else like that. I don't think cmd.exe has that functionality normally.

[Sparen]

Consider Cygwin or PuTTY, or call nmake

Fluffy: How do you compile it? Do you use an IDE?

[TTBD]

*without quotes*?

Yeah, I just typed make.  :V

[Uruwi]

Fluffy: How do you compile it? Do you use an IDE?

I installed GNU Make and added the path to make.exe to the PATH variable.

Intriguing. Naturally, this brought to mind disfact's spellcard name generator which doesn't have character select, though.

I did not know of this one, but thanks for bringing it up, because it's pretty interesting as well.

On that note, I should probably continue adding in characters to this one. There's still a lot of work to do.

[Sparen]

Version 0.05 Release

Once again, we have a new release, although this one is very small and was mainly done because of the 200 commit mark as well as a long period of time since the last release.

New characters include:
Aya Shameimaru
Sakuya Izayou
Youmu Konpaku

Yuyuko, Hatsuna, and Ruri's spell cards from RSS have also been added, as well as a number of database changes and improvements.

[Sparen]

Version 0.06 Release

Aaaand another release! This one isn't anything big, but the project has calmed down a lot and it's been about two weeks since the last release, so I decided to just make a release to mark it.

New Characters
Tarumi
Hanie
Himemiko
Momohime
Yato
Kiyohime
Koishi Komeiji

[Sparen]

Version 0.07 Release

Updates:
-Suika

Basically, I've completed the entire cast of Windows Touhou characters except for the Three Fairies and those who have not yet appeared in games.

Note: You can now alias Byakuren using the following:
'Namusan'
'TurboGranny'

Enjoy!

Ahh, I just can't figure this out. I downloaded Make for Windows as you instructed, shoved all the files from your ZIP into the same directory as make.exe, cd'd to that same directory through the CMD, ran make and http://prntscr.com/7btw0u
Das System konnte die angegebene Datei nicht finden == The specified file could not be found.

So what is it that I'm doing wrong (besides using Windows)?

What did you download? Did you download the source code? If you download the source code, there *should* be a generator.cc file. You should make sure that you have navigated to the directory with the source code.

Can I have a screenshot of the directory? Additionally, note that you can download a release package, which comes with a prebuilt exe. The only thing you need to do is update the chara directory when (if) we publish new updates, because that's the only part that's really changing now (besides the ReadMe)

[Python]

Here's a screenshot of the directory. I downloaded the GitHub repository as a ZIP and...that's all there was in it (save for the DLLs and make.exe, those are from Make for Windows).

EDIT: I found the EXE you meant. At first it said it was missing two DLL files (libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll), so I downloaded those two, put them in the same directory I put your generator in and now it crashes everytime I open it or run it through the CMD. Perhaps it's also worth mentioning that it always runs the program twice and it crashes both times (i. e. I run it, it crashes, it runs itself again and crashes again).

Oh, you know I had to point this out.  :3

Hmm... yeah, I really don't know how to help you then. If you are running the program via the command line... I really don't know what's wrong, since I can't replicate it without a copy of your operating system.

The executable was compiled by Fluffy8x - I don't know if he has any recommendations.

Hmm, I have MinGW installed on my computer. What happens if you try installing MinGW and using its own DLLs that the program needs?

[Python]

I assume MinGW refers to "Minimalistic GNU for Windows" (why do they call everything GNU, that's an animal)?

I think I installed it correctly (the installation process was a little confusing for me), but I still encounter the same errors, both, when compiling or running the program. It also says the DLLs are missing if I remove the ones I downloaded from the generator's folder. Seeing as it works for you, maybe you can send me the build you have on your computer?
