Very funny creation! I included it in my ProcJam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Love a good Markov chain generator! How did you get so many songs in the corpus?

Developer

Using the website absolutelyrics.com and the JSoup library, we parsed the song lists and read them into our n-gram generator. But don't worry! We stored all of the n-grams in a separate file so that the program doesn't have to read the websites every time.

Aha! Thanks for pointing out JSoup-- I'll definitely have to give it a look for future projects!

When I double click the jar, a white window opens but closes a few seconds later :(. Am I doing something wrong?

Developer

Hmmm... we are not sure what the cause of that could be. One idea we do have is there might be something weird going on with your JRE or jar file associations. Here is a link to something that might help: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/jar-files-open-and-close-immediately/cac9e065-4055-4dd4-802e-c88f030e7c7e
Let us know if that helps. Sorry we couldn't give a proper answer!
