Paprika is a language, and software, for generating semi-random arrangements of words - like computer-driven mad-libs. This can be useful for generating game dialogue, tweets, and flavour text with spice and variety!

Paprika (the software) takes a “prompt” and uses it to execute some “grammar” (grammars are the files which make up your random options).

I’ve been working on this on-and-off since 2013 - longer than this blog! I’ve run a twitter bot with 5000 followers and briefly a cloud-based offering with user accounts and custom saved grammars. Right now, the attached pebble app is a very basic sampler of the paprika-ts package, which is the newest expression of the library.
