heraldry's Issues

Add support for stains

Add the three stains as new tinctures. They should be rare compared to the other tinctures.

They are:

• Murrey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murrey)
• Sanguine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanguine_(heraldry))
• Tenne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenn%C3%A9)

Make the random number seed a CLI parameter

Pull the random number seeding out of everywhere it's being done now.

Add the seeding to the makearms command as an option, defaulting to the current time. This should follow the pattern of other Iron Arachne projects.

Add support for furs

Add the two furs as tinctures. This will necessitate the addition of pattern fill logic.

• Ermines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermine_(heraldry))
• Vair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vair)

Azure charges should have argent lines

Holy crap bad contrast, Batman.

Add support for variations of the field

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_of_the_field

Move charges, tinctures, etc. to their own files

Declarations of the various components should go into their own files for clarity, instead of being in the main heraldry.go file.

Add tags to charges

Add a new string array attribute to charges called Tags.

Each charge should have a set of tags (keywords) that will be used later for including and excluding charges from a generation.

This issue only covers the addition of the attribute and inclusion of a few tags per charge. Actually making use of them is outside the scope of this issue.

Add a possible second charge group

Add the ability to generate a second group of charges. This second group:

• should only appear 10% of the time
• should be balanced in its display with the first charge group
• can have a different tincture from the first charge group, but doesn't have to

Add marshaling

Add the ability to generate a marshaled device. This is either divided per pale or quarterly.

Prevent metal next to metal, color next to color in divisions of the field

Per this, from Wikipedia:

One of the most important conventions of heraldry is the so-called "rule of tincture". To provide for contrast and visibility, metals should never be placed on metals, and colours should never be placed on colours. This rule does not apply to charges which cross a division of the field, which is partly metal and partly colour; nor, strictly speaking, does it prevent a field from consisting of two metals or two colours, although this is unusual. Furs are considered amphibious, and neither metal nor colour; but in practice ermine and erminois are usually treated as metals, while ermines and pean are treated as colours.
