Words are generated based on conceptual anchors (like elements: fire, water, earth) that influence sound selection, creating meaningful sound symbolism.\n\n![Main Launcher](screenshots/main.png)\n\n## Features\n\n- **Procedural Generation** Feed it a seed number.\n- **Language Wizard** - Step-by-step guide to create new languages\n- **Anchors Editor** - Define conceptual categories (elements) for your language\n- **Templates Editor** - Configure phonology, syllable structures, morphology, and orthography\n- **Interactive Translator** - Translate English text to your conlang\n- **Build Tools** - Generate dictionaries from WordNet data\n\n## Screenshots\n\n### Language Wizard\nCreate a new language with guided steps for anchors, phonology, syllables, sound symbolism, grammar, and orthography.\n\n![Wizard](screenshots/wizard.png)\n\n### Anchors Editor\nDefine the conceptual anchors (elements) that give your language its unique flavor.\n\n![Anchors Editor](screenshots/anchors.png)\n\n### Templates Editor\nConfigure phonemes, syllable patterns, morphology suffixes, and spelling rules.\n\n![Templates Editor](screenshots/templates.png)\n\n### Interactive Translator\nTranslate English sentences into your constructed language.\n\n![Translator](screenshots/translator.png)\n\n### Live Word Generator\nSee exactly how words are built step-by-step, with anchor weights, sound pools, and constraint checking.\n\n![Generator Process View](screenshots/generator_process_view.png)\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed with tkinter\n2. Install dependencies:\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n3. Download the spaCy English model:\n\n```bash\npython -m spacy download en_core_web_lg\n```\n\n4. Download NLTK WordNet data:\n\n```python\npython -m nltk.downloader wordnet\npython -m nltk.downloader omw-1.4\n```\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1. Run the launcher:\n\n```bash\npython main.py\n```\n\n2. Use the **Language Wizard** to create a new language, or select an existing one from the dropdown\n3. Edit **Anchors** and **Templates** to customize your language\n4. **Build Data** then **Build Dictionaries** to generate the lexicon\n5. Use the **Interactive Translator** to translate text\n\n## File Structure\n\n```\nmodulex/\n├── main.py                      # Main launcher GUI\n├── conlang_template_wizard.py   # Step-by-step language creation wizard\n├── conlang_edit_anchors.py      # Anchors/concepts editor\n├── conlang_edit_templates.py    # Template editor (phonology, morphology, etc.)\n├── conlang_engine.py            # Core word generation engine\n├── conlang_build_data.py        # Build elemental data from WordNet\n├── conlang_build_dictionaries.py # Generate full dictionary\n├── conlang_translate.py         # Translation engine\n├── conlang_language_paths.py    # File path utilities\n├── documentation/\n│   ├── conlang_live_preview.py  # Live word generator demo\n│   ├── glotblocks_process_flow.html  # Visual process flow diagram\n│   └── INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md     # Developer integration guide\n└── language_data/\n    ├── default/                 # Default language files\n    │   ├── default_template.json\n    │   └── default_anchors.json\n    └── {language}/              # Per-language directories\n        ├── {language}_template.json\n        ├── {language}_anchors.json\n        └── {language}_dictionary.json\n```\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. **Anchors** define conceptual categories (fire, water, earth, metal, wood) with associated meanings\n2. **Templates** map anchors to sound categories, creating sound symbolism\n3. **Morphology** defines grammar suffixes linked to anchors\n4. **The Engine** blends sounds based on a word's conceptual tags to generate phonetically meaningful words\n\n## Notes\n\n- Constraints are treated as forbidden regexes: if a word matches an enabled pattern, it is rejected\n- Sound pools are weighted by concept `weight`\n- Definitions referenced in `add_sounds` are expanded into their respective slot pools\n- Orthography rules are applied after a word passes constraints\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftripstych%2Fglotblocks","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftripstych%2Fglotblocks","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftripstych%2Fglotblocks/lists"}
