Ephemerald

Ephemerald is an editor for Tracery grammars. So far I have used it to create Twitter bots but I intend to keep working on developing it into a universal tool for creating text-based procedural works in different media.

What does this mean?

You write rules for how text should be generated like the below snippet that picks to heisters from a list and sends them on a heist.

The result is that the system creates variations one by one:

Features:

• Contains an introduction to Tracery
• Syntax highlighting for a people-friendly editing experience
• Auto-completion of rule names
• Bulk export of generated text
• JSON export to run source in other Tracery environments
• SVG rendering for procedural graphics
• Unity plugin available

Have fun with endless text worlds built out of grammar-lego.
