Better yet, if you are making a game with dynamically generated content, you can use the Python script as a library and generate words on the fly!<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but it\u2019s possible to seed it with other languages too!

Little tools are generally a great way to speed up your development and make something cool during Ludum Dare.
