Silly Name Generator

Hi! My name is Nathan J. I made the Silly Name Generator! When you press the button, it takes a random first name out a list of 15 first names, then takes a last name out of a list of 15 last names!

Includes:

Arduino Mega ADK

2 x 16 LCD Module

12mm Trimmer Potentiometer (Large)

Breadboard

A crazy amount of jumper wires, somewhere between 10 and 20 male wires

Build the circuit exactly as shown in the diagram.

Take the circuit, plug it into your computer, and upload this code onto the Arduino using the Arduino coding software.

//Funny Name Generator!
//By Nathan Joyce
//In theory, you can create additional names by changing the maximum number in the random variable state,
//then adding a new entry into the first or last name section.
//Run the code, then press the button to dispense a random name!


#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);

#include "Arduino_SensorKit.h"

#define BUTTON 6

bool button_state;
int firstname=random(1,15);
int lastname=(1,15);
int buttonApin = 6;


void setup() {

lcd.begin(16, 2);
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(BUTTON , INPUT);
pinMode(buttonApin, INPUT_PULLUP); 

 // set up number of columns and rows
 lcd.begin(16, 2);
}
void loop() {

//Detects when the button is pressed
Serial.println(digitalRead(buttonApin));
if (digitalRead(buttonApin) == LOW)

{
lcd.clear();

//Sets the first name and last name to a random number between 1 and 15.
int firstname=random(1,15);
int lastname=random(1,15);

lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("from Fortnite");

lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("II");

if (lastname==15){
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("III");
}
}
}

When you press the button, a random name will generate! Good job! I'm sure any names generated will be 100% very silly!
