public final class RandomNames
extends XMLCollection

Class for creating random names for monsters, items, and such. Random names may be composed by 2 or 3 words. In case of 2 words they are in the form attribute+name, ie: Red Dragon, in case of 3 words they are in the form attribute+name+geography, ie: Red Dragon of the Mysty Lands. Strings are read from an XML file like dictionary.xml. You may specify tags to read from. When read, strings are stored in ArrayList of ValuedString objects. You may then ask for a string with an associated value. Higher values corresponds to rarer objects.
