Random characters

[dthrasher90]

Is there an API out there that will create random NPCs built around predetermined specifications?

[evilwizard]

Just do something like this

this.game.add.sprite(100, 100, this.randCharacter());

randCharacter: function() {
    return this.game.rnd.pick(['goblin', 'orc', 'skeleton'])
}

dthrasher90, what are you looking for in your random npc?

Do you want a random name?

Do you want a random sprite?

Do you want an npc that will walk around randomly?

There are a lot of different factors that define what an "npc" is. What are you trying to do here?

[dthrasher90]

Yeah, just name, stats, etc. no need for sprites 

[snowbillr]

Okay, so you need a name. First name and last name? One word? Two? Special characters?

What kind of stats? What does your game need? Health? Number of fingers? Are the values strings? Arrays? Whole numbers? Fractions?

All the properties you're looking for are unique to your game, and the only API for that is one that you build. Define the list of all the properties that you need for each NPC, then start looking for ways to come up with those values.
