JAVASCRIPT TITLE GENERATOR

The code below uses an array of customizable prefixes, pronouns, adjectives and mini-phrases to create titles, most of which seem to be dystopian, fantasy and maybe a little bit western.


injectInterface();

document.getElementById("title").textContent = generateTitle();

document.getElementById("subtitle").textContent = generateSubtitle();

function generateTitle() {

var name_prefixes = ["Master", "Mr.", "Professor", "Mrs.", "Princess", "Prince", "The Pauper's", "The", "Betsy", "Billy", "Johnny"];

var primary_nouns = ["Crystal", "Bugle", "Dreamer", "Dream", "Castle", "Moss", "Mountain", "Pit", "Bigfoot", "Dream maker", "Oathbreaker", "Bard", "X'arahan'tu", "Magic", "Acorn", "Sun", "Son", "Stump", "Arm"];

var adjectives = ["Lost", "Five", "Faded", "Ancient", "Blackened", "Den of", "Despairing", "Golden", "Many", "Merry", "Clever", "Wonderful", "Sullen", "Angry", "Little", "Cowardly", "Silver", "Lasting", "Heavy", "Festive", "Gleeful", "Enchanted", "Wise", "Wistful", "Dark", "Untold"];

var secondary_nouns = ["Hearts", "Stones", "Diamond Dogs", "Painted Toes", "Songs", "Tales", "Lords", "Promise", "Screams", "Plagues", "Dreams", "Roads", "Curses", "Spells", "Gloam", "Lands", "Marsh", "Hearts", "Rules", "Swamp", "Tale", "Apex", "Beggar"];

var name_prefix = sample(name_prefixes);

var primary_noun = sample(primary_nouns);

var adjective = sample(adjectives);

var secondary_noun = sample(secondary_nouns);

var title = "";

if (Math.random() < 0.5) {

title = `${name_prefix} ${primary_noun} and the ${adjective} ${secondary_noun}`;

} else {

title = `The ${adjective} ${secondary_noun} of ${name_prefix} ${primary_noun}`;

}

return title;

}

var story_adjectives = ["Forgotten", "Merry", "Clever", "Baleful", "Deep Space", "Whimsical", "Trivial", "Forlorn", "Dank and Faded", "Once in a Lifetime", "Cyborg's", "Hot Mess", "Dark", "Precog's", "Bed Full of", "Tattooed"];

var story_formats = ["Quest", "Novel", "Dream of Ages", "Song", "Crystalized Puzzle", "Legend", "Quest", "Curse", "Tale", "Diaspora", "Whisper of the Heart", "Monster"];

var adjective = sample(story_adjectives);
