Nielk1's Name Maker
Purpose:
To assist in the generation of names for characters.
Version:
0.1a
Interface:
Command Prompt
Ease of Use:
Simple
Programmers:
Nielk1 - Base idea and code
OvermindDL1 - Major refactoring and utilization of Boost libraries
Usage:
The Main EXE is placed in the same location as the three supporting files, if these files are not present, the program will fail to continue past the first prompt. The files will be cached for future use, so these cache files must be deleted if the name list files are updated.
Features:
Name lists are separate files aWllowing for updates. Initial files are the occurrence of names in the US as found by the 1990 census. Two modes allow for completely random name generation, or probability selection allowing more common names to be more prevalent.

If you want, it would be trivial to add in support so that if the modified timestamp on the list files is newer then the modified timestamp on the cache files then to regenerate the cache; that would fix the 'out-of-date cache' issues for 99% of the time.

Indeed, but, I find it very unlikely there will be another list file anytime soon.

BTW,

I never got to say that I like this program. I have it in the list I use when I'm stumped in to coming up with a name. :)

Disabling attachments seems to have removed it. I think it was borked anyway. I will get a new upload of it soon.
