Fictionary (in Rust)

Rust Build Crate Version

This is a port of my Fictionary tool to Rust. It currently works, but it's still in the early stages.

The wordlist file is currently loaded (on MacOS) from $HOME/Library/Application Support/uk.co.judy.fictionary/american.fictionary

To-Do

In rough priority order:

  • Test fictionary file locations on Linux and Windows!

  • Write a decent README.

  • Publish to crates.io?

  • Make the tests deterministic by setting a random seed.

    • Add a CLI param to specify a seed to the generator so that the same wordlist can be generated more than once.
  • Document the code.

  • Different output depending on stdout being a TTY

  • Continuous Delivery

  • More comprehensive tests

  • Distribute as a library for re-use, as well as a binary?

  • Implement an infinite iterator of generated words.

  • Package up for installation using Homebrew?
