I love this. But, I also love all your stuff so far.
I wonder if you could do something like this but make something like Nordic runes where they can be slanted and look hand drawn. I am not sure if something like that is possible with the randomness of the images.
Thank you. This is runes of an imaginary language (if it's even a language) so there can be any number of runes in a set :) To be honest, the value of 24 was chosen to more conveniently display glyphs as a 6x4 table. I am considering creating an expanded version of the generator with much more diverse glyph shapes and, of course, an ability to specify the number of symbols per alphabet.
assuming you are using english you can remove the letter 'F' and replace it with a PH, and you can remove one of these 3 'C' 'S' or 'K' without sacrificing any sounds the english language makes. at least, that's my plan anyway.
Something that I've seen people do before is to make I/J and X/Y be the same letters so that all 26 english alphabet letters can fit into a 24 character runic alphabet.

This is excellent. I'm creating a game with a heavy focus on runes as a source of magic and this is a great source of graphics and lettering.
nice work. again. +1
it would be great if u could update the github to
Really useful! thanks!

This could be good if you are trying to make a new script for either an existing language or a fictional one.
you should definitely remake this one with new widgets and aspects. this is great for a dnd setting
what is the hex colo(u)r of the background? interested in it.
thank you!
I almost had a heart attack when I looked quickly at the image and saw that there was a symbol that resembles a bad thing
Not sure how tricky it was to build this, but I rather like it. Thank you.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's a great idea but the alphabet function only gives 24 symbols, not 26. which is a bit annoying but it isn't the end of the world.

It's been 4 months. I've moved on
You could also take out “Q,” because nobody really needs that letter. and perhaps “C” or “K,” as Heiryuu suggested.
yeah probably except I have a bit of fondness for the letter q for some reason

Very useful!
Awesome
need I say more
great tool
this is the definition of a developers Life hack
I am curious as Haxe (from my understanding) can output code in multiple languages is there a possibility that this could be compile to C++ or C#?
I'm not sure about C#, but yes, Haxe code can be compiled to C++. That's actually how building for Android and iOS works.
I wonder how hard it would be to output this as a font file... This thing is very cool, even for a toy.
