Spongebob Case Converter
This is a very small Python script to convert any sentence to Mocking Spongebob mixed capitalization at the command line. It also provides its to_spongecase
function for this to be done with any string in another program.
By default, to_spongecase
returns a string with an approximate 50/50 distribution of uppercase and lowercase letters. It can alternatively be given a percentage – a float
in the range [0.0, 1.0] – for a custom distribution. A particular string will always capitalize in the same pattern given a capitalization chance, e.g. "The freer the market, the freer the people." will always be converted to "tHe FrEer ThE markEt, tHe fReer the people." given a capitalization chance of 30%.
When running spongebob_case.py
at the console, the text to be converted can be proceeded by the long-form option --cap-chance=###%
or --lower-chance=###%
, where ###
is a number from 0 to 100, optionally padded with arbitrarily many zeroes. This controls the capitalization distribution, and one is merely the inverse of the other. Note that if a typo is made in the option text, it will be considered part of the sentence and the default 50% distribution will be used.
