Longer Story // Frederick Ostrenko
As sentences which end in "." or "?" or "!" are typed in the text field a markov chain is created below it. N is only equal to 3 in the beginning because of the small amount of words to choose from and so the sentences begin to mesh quickly. Sentences don't make very much sense at first but as more input is added the n value is raised up to 7. Even though it takes quite a while to get to 7 (n increases by 1 every 10 sentences) the early sentences produce some interesting combinations of words. A "tag cloud" is also made that shows the most used words as the largest words. The words color relates to which cloud it belongs to as a new cloud is created every time the user presses enter. This project acts as a type of experiment in automatic writing for both the user and computer. While typing from what first comes to your mind the computer takes your stream and creates its own above yours. The user can then compare there automatic writing to that of the computers.
