The Planet Kubb Name Generator is a fun web site that generates goofy names for Kubb teams.
There isn't much to know. The PHP is all of about 5 lines. The webserver will default the user to /en for English and then the user can switch from there.
It would be really great if the Kubb Team Name Generator generated team names for Kubb Teams all around the world!
A localised version is made by just filling out the "adjs" and "kubbs" files in the directory for the a given language. See how the English list was created for a start.
-
adjs
This file is the modifiers that go in front of the team name. It purposefully contains a number of blank lines to so that sometimes the teams don't have a name in front of them.
-
kubbs
The list of names to randomly pick from. This list was generated using the word list that Unix has in
/usr/share/dict/words. This is the recipe:grep "cub" american-english-large| egrep -v ".*'s" | sed 's/cub/kubb/'
grep "wood" american-english-large| egrep -v ".*'s" | sed 's/wood/kubb/'
egrep "^[bdfghjklmnprstvwz]ub" american-english-large | sed 's/^\wub/kubb/' | sort | uniq | egrep -v ".*'s$"
These sets were then sent through sort and uniq. The final touch was to replace "bbb" strings with "bb".
Planet Kubb uses the Twitter Bootstrap CSS/HTML syntax so feel free to add anything that leverages that. Additionally jQuery is already in.
