Does anyone know if in the future Hal will use ONLY the tables for making decisions? I have noticed a lot of stuff is still hard coded ... i.e. take insults for example ... while there is an INSULTS table ... hal is also hard coded to treat certain words as swear words or insults regardless of whats in the INSULTS table... So there should probably be a 'swearword' table ... so the list of words that hal thinks are swear words can be easily edited by users ... At the same time, I think hals responses when he detects a swear word should also be in a table so they can be added to or edited with ease. I've noticed this quirk several places (including the 'cheat responses'). So I repeat my question - does anyone know if there is a plan to solve this problem?
