build_tools.syllable_walk_tui
Syllable Walker TUI - Interactive Text User Interface
An interactive terminal UI for exploring phonetic space through the Syllable Walker system. This is a build-time tool only - not used during runtime name generation.
Features: - Four-column layout: Oscillator A | Generator A | Generator B | Oscillator B - Side-by-side patch configuration (dual oscillator comparison) - Name Combiner integration for candidate generation (mirrors CLI) - Name Selector integration for policy-based filtering (mirrors CLI) - Render Screen for styled name display (title/UPPER/lower case) - Package Screen for bundling selections into ZIP archives - TXT export for selected names - Profile-based parameter presets (clerical, dialect, goblin, ritual, custom) - Modal screens: Blended Walk (v), Analysis (a), Render (r), Database (d/D) - Quick corpus selection with number keys (1/2) - Keyboard-first navigation with Tab and vi-style keys - Real-time phonetic exploration
Usage:
python -m build_tools.syllable_walk_tui
- Design Philosophy:
Based on the eurorack modular synthesizer analogy - we patch conditions, not outputs. The focus is on exploring phonetic climates through interactive parameter tweaking.
