A long time ago, I wrote a basic Alternate US President List Generator using C++. It was crappy, it had really limited capacity, so I scrapped it instead of continuing to work with it - even though, as I could tell, the people there liked it.

A 20th century AH timeline generator!
Now, you don't see much here, but let me present a few of the works my computer has created...
I'll upload the generator to Github... sooner or later. It's really not as complex as it appears.
