Add an optional flag -f/--field that specifies the field type for the heraldry command.

The relevant line is here: https://github.com/ironarachne/world/blob/main/cmd/heraldry.go#L24

Since the global random generator of the rand package is used for all random values, there can be cases where, when multiple values with an id are requested simultaneously, the value returned is not the same.

Reproduction:
Open multiple pages with an ID at the same time, e.g. in Firefox by bookmarking them in a folder and clicking "Open All in Tabs".

Reason:
The reason for this a simple race condition. When a page with an ID is requested the global random generator is seeded with that ID. Then the request is executed just like a normal one. However, if another request with an ID arrives while generation is not yet completed, it might happen that the new seed is injected in between calls for random values, thus resulting in different random values.

Solution:
I would suggest to inject a random generator seeded with the ID into a context and use that generator instead of global functions for generating random values.
This would require restructuring the random package insofar that the functions are also available as methods of a generator type.
It would also require adding context parameters to all functions/methods requiring random values.

I would be happy to do the work required if this is something that you would like to see fixed.

Currently, the animal package uses its own structure - Animal. Replace this with the Species struct defined in the species package, and convert all animals to use the new struct.

This will require touching the climate package also, as it consumes the animal package.

Adding appropriate traits is outside the scope of this issue. However, all resources need to make the transition.

The weapons resources are listed here: https://github.com/ironarachne/world/blob/master/pkg/resource/weapons.go

This list should include at least one pattern for every weapon in the Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition Player's Handbook.

Based on the traits package, add a philosophical views system. This will be used by both the character and culture packages, at a minimum. It will replace the “views on magic” part of the culture package.

Philosophical views must use tags to differentiate opposing or incompatible views.

The culture package will use this to determine cultural norms.

The character package will use this to determine personal views.

This is a big one.

Instead of serving an API, refactor the "world" project as a CLI tool. Output will still be JSON for now. A future task will focus on implementing other output options.

Rather than trying to rebuild all endpoints as CLI commands, just focus on two big ones: culture and heraldry.

The following commands should work:

world culture

and

world heraldry

Don't worry about implementing options for either one yet.

Add tieflings to the race package here: https://github.com/ironarachne/world/tree/master/pkg/race

Reference the D&D 5E version of tieflings.

Currently, organization ranks have only a single possible age category.

It should be possible to specify multiple possible age categories, and for the generation process to select one of them randomly when generating a member of that rank.

This should affect only the organization package.

Hello, I was wondering where the graphics were obtained and what license they are under. This is an awesome tool set, just want to ensure I can fully use what is generated.

Jewelry resource patterns are here: https://github.com/ironarachne/world/blob/master/pkg/resource/jewelry.go

Add patterns to that file that account for jewelry that has gemstones. For example, a necklace pattern that has one slot for the metal setting, one slot for the primary gem, and one slot for the surrounding gems.

Add a flag -C/--charges for the heraldry command that specifies the charge tag or tags to use.

The relevant consuming line in the heraldry command is here: https://github.com/ironarachne/world/blob/main/cmd/heraldry.go#L25

Looks like this code has broken seed-based generation. Tear all of it out to return to the previous random paradigm.

What is Sentry, how do I get it / set it up, so I can run the built files from this project?

Edit, I made it work by adding
os.Setenv("SENTRY_DSN", "DSN Code Here")
to the main function.

Currently, configuration is specified with four environment variables. Add a flag -c/--config to specify a config file instead. The config file should use the YAML format, and accept arguments like this:

data_dir: /my/directory
save_dir: /my/other/directory
save_target: filesystem
web_domain: www.example.com

The equivalent environment variables are as follows:

data_dir: WORLD_DATA_DIR
save_dir: WORLD_SAVE_DIR
save_target: WORLD_SAVE_TARGET
web_domain: WORLD_WEB_DOMAIN

If both the environment variables and configuration file are specified, the configuration file values should override the environment variables.
