Generate unique bard bits using Shakespeare's work and DSM-5 adjectives

bard.bits() generates bard bits using Shakespeare's works and the DSM-5 to use in personal projects. The term bard–bits comes from Shakespeare's title 'The Bard of Avon' and the bits ( Shakespeare's characters, places, professions) used to come up with coherent combinations.

Usage

bard.bits(cat, seed = NULL)

Arguments

cat

a category to be used as bard–bit. Defaults to "any", but "character", "jobs","alliterate", "dsm_5" are available.

seed

an optional numeric or character seed for reproducible results.

Value

bard.bits() takes a category and an optional numeric or character seed to produce a bard–bit.

Details

When the category is "any" (the default), the function combines Shakespeare's adjectives, DSM-5 adjectives, colors and the characters, jobs, animals and things data frames to then sample one adjective and one noun from each of the two combinations.

When the category is "alliterate", the function combines the adjectives and colors data frames and the animals and characters data frame. After an adjective is selected, the first letter will be used to match against a noun.

When the category is "character", the function will derive a bard bit from a data frame of Shakespeare's characters and the adjectives data frame.

When the category is "jobs", the function will derive a bard bit from the adjectives and colors data frame and sample one value from the Shakespeare's jobs data frame.

When the category is "dsm_5", the function will derive a bard bit from the combined jobs, characters, animals and the DSM-5 adjectives data frame.
