The challenge: translate English sentences to mixed emoji and English.
The data was originally scraped from this page (warning: 37MB page)
emoji.json- the original file with each emoji and its keywords listedemojo_ints.json- same file but with integer codes instead of stringsemoji_invert.json- keyword to code number lookup
If you get stuck, simple.py contains a very simple example of how you might
get started with the substitutions. However, there is a lot that could be
improved:
- It doesn't account for punctuation
- It could do something better than randomly picking an emoji
- It doesn't handle replacing multiple words by an emoji
- It doesn't replace segments of a word
- It doesn't do anything with homophones
