Shawn Lawson: Poet?

Goals:

  1. Use the text from Shawn's emails to the class as a resource for the body of the poem
  2. Generate poems from that text

1. How it works

  1. Load unique words from Shawn's emails to the class into a vector of strings
  2. Choose anywhere from 2 to 10 words from the vector
  3. Put those words together and see how poetic Shawn's writing is

2. Issues

The origional idea was to create a particle system where words would collide to create sentences of the poem. When that didn't work very well I went with this.

3. What I would change

I would probally have used a collision system like Box2D instead of just using a particle system.
