The purpose of this assignment was to create a text file breaking down the parts of speech of an existing poem, and creating a random generator to alter and edit the different parts of speech. Originally I wanted to use the delay() function in Processing to make the poem appear at different portions, however it only worked in the black box of the print statements as opposed to the actual output of the program. I did however make my own fonts and got them to change depending on if the word was a verb, noun, adjective, ect. In order to add some variety to the code, I drew a rectangle that appears wherever the mouse is on the screen. The rectangle is moderately sized so that it can cover any noun on the screen to hide it. If the reader does not like the output or if the noun given does not make sense, they can scroll over it to hide it for the poem to make more sense. This rectangle also does not hide any of the other parts of speech, so it does not interrupt the flow of the poem. I had a lot of fun with this project despite the errors I encountered along the way. The poem that I decided to scramble was "The Sexless Innkeeper" as seen in How I Met Your Mother. The poem created followed the scheme of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. While a few poems created were difficult to read all the way through, others produced a few hearty chuckles.
