Introduction
The propose of this project is let the user create "silly" sentences.
project #1
Create an interactive program that ...
- randomly select a sentence template from a list of templates.
(for testing select a particular template?) - ask the user to select "words/phrases" to fill in the template from lists of
- nouns (required)
- pronouns (optional)
- adjectives (optional)
- verbs (required)
- adverbs (optional)
- locations (required)
- actions (required)
- preposition phrases (optional)
- display the sentence with the "words/phrases" selected by the users.
- make sure the first letter of first word of a sentence is capitalized.
- loop
List Requirements
- create lists of "words/phrases" for the user to select from.
- create the 4 required lists with a minimum of 10 items in each list.
- create several other lists. (use an optional list or create your own.)
- a "word/phrase" may contain more than one actual word.
For example, a noun may be "house" or "the house". - For an example of the lists go HERE
Sentence Template Requirements
- create a minimum of 10 sentence templates for your program. (see the example templates below.)
- suggestion; use well know jokes, quotes or sayings.
Interface Requirements
- Is a GUI the best interface for this project? See PySimpleGUI or PyQt. (Note: There other Python GUI toolkits.)
Project #2
Rather than selecting from a list, ask the user to enter their own "words/phrases".
Project #3
Instead of single sentences, create several short story templates containing several sentences.
Examples of Sentence Templates
A sentence template should use several "words/phrases". Also, a sentence template may contain more than one of the same "word/phrase". For example, more than one noun.
the <adjective> <noun> <adverb> <verb> to the <location>.
<noun> and <noun> did what?
professor <noun> in the <location> with the candlestick.
<noun> ate a <noun> pudding while sitting on a <noun> in the <location>.
<action> speak louder than words!
