# MarkovGrams # MarkovGrams
Experiments into markov chains, n-grams, and text generation. Experiments into markov chains, n-grams, and text generation.
## Building
### Windows
Open the solution in Visual Studio / MonoDevelop and hit build.
### Linux and everyone else
As above with MonoDevelop, or simply use the command `xbuild` whilst inside the root of the repository.
## Using
Detailed usage help can be seen by simply running the tool without any arguments:
```bash
./MarkovGrams.exe
```
Linux users might need to explicitly run it with `mono`:
```bash
mono ./MarkovGrams.exe
```
## Credits
- The code was written by [Starbeamrainbowlabs](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/) - that's me!
- I found the [Markov Chain Text Generation](http://nullprogram.com/blog/2012/09/05/) post by [Chris Wellons](http://nullprogram.com/) rather useful when writing this.
- Wordlists
- The list of colours was built with a sneaky bit of Javascript in the developer tools of [this webpage](http://www.colorhexa.com/color-names) from [colorhexa](http://www.colorhexa.com/), which turns out to be a really useful website about colours.
- The list of sciencey words was built from scratch by [Starbeamrainbowlabs](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/) - that's me too!
