Word Generator in Scratch!

My experiments using Scratch continue! My new project is a simple word generator.



The  project lets you set a list of "vowels," "consonants" and five rules, which are chosen at random. For every letter C a random consonant is chosen, every letter V, a vowel is picked. Note: you choose what the vowels and consonants are, and the number of each determines the frequency picked. You can give it a try - and if you sign up at scratch.mit.edu, you can remix it yourself

The Protocol Droid Awakens! And this blog!

The Hour of Code for 2015 is over, but I'm still enjoying programming with Scratch (you can too! See scratch.mit.edu), so, to go along with The Force Awakens, here's a protocol droid programmed to know all kinds of words and phrases from the Galaxy Far, Far Away!

I'm planning to reinvigorate this blog - as a blog, not podcast - to go along with my two alien language podcasts, A Klingon Word from the Word, and A Mando'a Word for a Warrior. Stay tuned!
