While writing the Elite-style procedural planet\/star system generator for my entry, I was messing around with random strings, trying to come up with a system that provided pronounceable planet\/star names.<\/p>\n

The algorithm which I have used is in fact the same one that was used in Elite and Frontier, and it occasionally spits out a real word, or happily the odd bit of profanity.<\/p>\n

I was a little worried when it gave me “quitbed”, though. I think it’s beginning to become sentient.<\/p>\n
