Gibberish Generator for DND, uses Caesar Cipher but seperately for vowels and consonants

Gibberish Generator Algorithm

This Python program allows you to encode and decode words based on a simple set of rules. The program utilizes consonants and vowels as well as a language number to transform input words.

Key Features

• Advancing Caesar Cipher
• Separate for Vovels and Consonants
• Reusable and constant in sentences
• Good for Fantasy RPGs

I decided to update this because it may be incorporated here and the code needed some QOL updates, especially readability and best practices. I also force-pushed to master after some squashing.

Usage

1. Run the program.
2. Enter a list of words separated by spaces, a sentence one might say.
3. Provide a language number.
4. Choose an operation: 0 to encode or 1 to decode.
5. Get the transformed words as output.

Functions

Transformation Function

The transform_word function is the heart of the encoding and decoding process. It takes three parameters:

word: The input word to be transformed. language_number: A number used for encoding/decoding. operation: An integer representing the operation (0 for encode, 1 for decode).

The function then iterates through each character of the input word: If the character is a consonant, it uses the CONSONANTS constant, if the character is a vowel, it uses the VOWELS constant, if the character is neither a consonant nor a vowel, it uses the character itself.

The index for transformation is calculated based on the rules:

• Encoding (0), index = (original index + language number + character index) % character list length.
• Decoding (1), index = (character index - original index - language number) % character list length.

Word List Processing

The process_word_list function processes a list of words using the transform_word function. It takes three parameters:

word_list: A list of words to be transformed. language_number: A number used for encoding/decoding. operation: An integer representing the operation (0 for encode, 1 for decode). It returns a list of transformed words.

Main Loop

The main function serves as the entry point of the program. It contains a loop that repeatedly takes user input and processes it:

• The user is prompted to enter a list of words separated by spaces.
• The user provides a language number for the session.
• The user chooses an operation: 0 for encoding or 1 for decoding.
• The process_word_list function is then called to transform the input words according to the chosen operation. Transformed words are printed as output.
