Ultra Hal 7.0 / Adding responses to Hal.

« on: April 23, 2011, 07:20:06 am »

As founder of the Chatterbox Challenge (CBC) I've had the opportunity to evaluate a lot of bots. However, I don't always have the time to evaluate them up close and personal. I'm taking the time to do that this year for the 2012 CBC.

I have the latest version of Ultra Hal Assistant on my computer Vista 64 bit. The CBC involves asking a lot of questions. Is there a way to hardcode into Hal's Brain Editor questions often used by the CBC such as

How many sides does an octagon have?
Where is the location of the Eiffel Tower?
etc.

I don't want to add them via the learning aspect of Hal. I also don't want to add them in some file where they get lost in the code and never trigger.

Is there like one file that Hal looks into first for an answer so these questions would have top priority. Or could you set up a file where these types of questions could be added?

If this could be done Hal should be at the top of the CBC every year.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated,
