Bug Stomp

Better yet, Crab, I want it to be able to fully analyze a sentence, fill in implied words, remember what pronouns refer to, and even have short term memory. That'll be one of the big updates after the contest when I have some time.

And it's for that reason that I need a good grammar book. It's all that useless stuff we learned over and over again in elementary English class- the parts of a sentence.. subject, predicate, etc etc. I'll have to convert that to code, and I need a good book for that. Any suggestions?

My robot has been using responses I haven't told it! When asked for the time, it says "You have no clock? It is 11 : 01" When asked the day- "Have you been time traveling? It is thursday" What are the x-keywords for these? And how do I look at them?

Hmm... no suggestions, but maybe something like "English for dummies" might help? (no pun implied )

Hey prof how come none of the buttons below work: the smiley buttons, colors, size, format, cancel?

Alasdair, I hard-wired in some contest responses, and I'll undo that in a couple days. When I do so, I'll post the keywords/context to use to replace them in your own Bot if you wish.

Shady- depends on your browser. It works for some.

The seeks are working much better it seems. My bot wasn't following through with them in many cases and now he seems to be picking 'em all up. Did you do something, prof? I know you got them going on xinitiates, but did you do anything else?

The who is so in so thing is great - my bot's giving out info about everyone on here! It was used twice while chatting with a human...

Yah, I thought it would be a perfect for gossiping, as guests or new users wont know who a Bot is gossiping about. I also turned down my Bot's gossiping for the contest. That might be a good idea for others, too. Depends on what your Bot excels at.

And yes, I did fix the Seeks up. xnomatch was not working, but it is now. Have you seen an xinitiate seek work yet?

I can try one, i'll give you answer later

An initiate seek worked for me since I last reported the bug... thanks!

Hey prof:
Aack: BUG!

In one of my bots' memories, on the first day, you know, the day that your favorite guy in the world made his name with a * It says the date over and over on that transcript page about 15 times...

We'll just have to live with that. I'd have to edit hundreds of files to fix that, and I aint about to do that.

Glad it's fixt, Crab!

Prof:
I figured just checking to make sure that it wasnt an error that would screw something up
