arialy-book
I wanted to make some fun random milkshake ingredients with a hint of nonsensical evil. At first I was going to just have normal ingredients mixed with things like “1 cup from the blood of your enemies.” After finding milkshake recipes that actually had instructions, I decided to have actual recipes with unnecessarily emotional directions. After running the code, I found that some of the directions read more sweet (since many of the hate letters were love hate letters). The contrast of either love or hate with the cooking instructions was an entertaining idea to me.
I generated my book using Processing code. The milkshake names are randomly generated from a list of negative adjectives. The ingredients are random milkshake ingredients, and the directions are a markov chain from the Rita library combining hate letters from the internet and milkshake recipes. The book definitely would’ve benefitted from some sort of images, perhaps just images from #milkshake from instagram. There was also an extreme lack of coherence. Perhaps if I’d had more recipes and hate letters I would’ve been able to tweak the markov chain to make more grammatically-correct sentences (that still had the strange mix of recipe + hate letters). The ingredients also could’ve been more entertaining with a couple strange ingredients added. I’m having a hard time accessing the end result of my book, since nothing seems very funny after reading several iterations of the code.
