#NameLib
NameLib itself is available from cyningstan.itch.io/namelib if you're developing your own games and want a drop-in name generator. It's designed for #msdos but is OS agnostic as it's written in C89 standard (ANSI) C.

This week I learn of the first program that's not mine that uses the #NameLib name generator library I released recently. The excellent #msdos roguelike XT Hack by Karl Garrison now chooses a default name for your character using NameLib. You can download XT Hack karl-g.itch.io/xt-hack

My Namelib is finally available! It can read in ASCII text in a language, and spit out names that vaguely sound like that language, giving each faction or region in your game its own flavour. You can get the library on its Itch page: cyningstan.itch.io/namelib #msdos #gamedev

This was supposed to say "My Namelib library..." which would have been informative. Oh for an edit button.
