Change:
A name, which is a string, and which when created is formed from a random Prefix followed by a random vowel (if the Prefix ends in a consonant) or a random consonant (if it ends in a vowel)
To:
A name, which is a string, and which when created is formed from a Prefix followed by a vowel (if the Prefix ends in a consonant) or a consonant (if it ends in a vowel)
Change:
To generate a valid Name for an Animal: Select a random Prefix, then add either “on”, “os”, “ox” or “us” at random (if the prefix ends in a consonant) or “don”, “raptor”, “saur” or “tops” at random (if the prefix ends in a vowel) to the end.
To:
Valid Names for an Animal consist of: A Prefix, followed by “on”, “os”, “ox” or “us” (if the prefix ends in a consonant) or “don”, “raptor”, “saur” or “tops” (if the prefix ends in a vowel) at the end.
Change:
To generate a valid Name for a Vegetable: Select a random Prefix, add an “a” to the end if it ends in a consonant, then add a space and another random Prefix, then add “ia” or “um” (chosen at random) to the end.
To:
Valid Names for a Vegetable consist of: A Prefix, followed by an “a” to the end if it ends in a consonant, then a space, then another Prefix, followed by “ia” or “um” at the end.
Change:
To generate a valid Name for a Mineral: Select a random Prefix, add an “s” to the end if it ends in a vowel, then add “ite” or “ium” (chosen at random) to the end.
To:
Valid Names for a Mineral consist of: A Prefix, followed by an “s” to the end if it ends in a vowel, followed by “ite” or “ium” at the end.
remove:
If a generated Name would exactly match the Name of an existing Discovery, add the prefix “mega” or “ultra” (selected at random) to the generated Name.
Change:
Generate a valid Name for it, and give it that Name
To:
Choose a valid Name for it, not yet used for any other discovery, and give it that Name
The name generation is nice, but I feel like its slowing down exploration. Allow us to just choose appropriate names of the appropriate format.
