## What it is
Rant 3 is an all-purpose procedural text generation engine for .NET, described as the opposite of Regex, supporting weighted branching, dictionaries, rhyming, and dialogue generation. This repository is an archived, obsolete snapshot superseded by Rant 4.

## Use cases
- generate procedural text for games
- generate random dialogue for NPCs
- automate repetitive writing tasks
- generate names and lorem-ipsum-style content
- create rhyming poetry programmatically
- template-based string generation in C#

## When to choose
- you need the legacy Rant 3 API for an existing .NET or Unity 2017 project
- you are maintaining old code that depends on the Rant NuGet package

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use Rant 4 instead
- you need supported, actively maintained software
- you are not on the .NET platform

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- domain: developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform, game-engine
