This was originally a project for a data structures and algorithms course.
Input a reasonably long chunk of text and press Babble to get your result. The aim of this simple program is to produce an output that makes semi-grammatical sense at first glance, but doesn't make much logical sense when you actually try reading it. More text is always better; use at least a paragraph for best results. Song lyrics can often produce amusing results.
The "Babbliness" factor determines how closely the output will match the input. Output with a Babbliness value of 5 will not resemble the input very much at all and will probably not make much grammatical sense, while output with a Babbliness value of 1 will make good grammatical sense but possibly be nearly identical to the input text.
Sample inputs: Green Eggs and Ham Goldilocks and the Three Bears Still Alive Declaration of Independence Gospel of Luke Romeo and Juliet
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. Aperture Science We do what we must because we can. For the people who are dead. But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done. And you make a neat gun. For the good of all the things we learned for the people who are still alive. I'm doing Science and I'm still alive. And when you're dead I will be still alive. And believe me I am still alive. While you're dying I'll be still alive. I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive. I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive. And when you're dead I will be still alive. And believe me I am still alive.
