What is this?

  • Syllabore is a procedural name generator that does not use pre-made lists of names
  • It can be embedded into a .NET program and used 100% offline

Quick Start

Syllabore first constructs syllables then sequences them into names.

Use the NameGenerator class to generate names. Call Next() to get a new name. By default, a subset of consonants and vowels from the English language will be used.

var g = new NameGenerator();
Console.WriteLine(g.Next());

This will return names like:

Pheras
Domar
Teso

Basic Control

For simple generators, you can specify vowels and consonants through the constructor:

var g = new NameGenerator("ae", "srnl");

Names from this generator will only use a and e for vowels, and s r n and l for consonants. Calls to Next() will produce names like:

Lena
Salna
Rasse

See the wiki for more examples on how to control things like vowel sequences, consonant positioning, and more!

Advanced Control

Other Features

Syllabore provides support for the following:

  • Graphemes - a way to control whether your characters are lead a syllable, trail a syllable, form a clusters, etc.
  • Transforms - a way to transform existing names into new ones
  • Filters - a way to prevent substrings from appearing in names
  • Weights - a way to manipulate the probability that specific characters will be used

Installation

.NET apps

For .NET apps, Syllabore is available as a NuGet package. You can install it from your NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (search for "Syllabore") or by running the following command in your NuGet package manager console:

Install-Package Syllabore

Godot Engine

There are a couple ways to do this in Godot:

  • Open your Godot project in Visual Studio and add the Syllabore NuGet package through the package manager
  • Or open a command line, cd into your Godot project directory, and use the following command:
dotnet add package Syllabore

Compatibility

By design, Syllabore is a .NET Standard 2.0 class library. This means it will be compatible with a number of .NET distributions and game engines. See a complete list here.
