Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: The concept of Now
« on: May 24, 2012, 08:30:19 am »
Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind.
No matter what I try Hal just seems to come back with the above 90% of the time "now" is used in the input statement.
It would seem more real-world interactive to cache and return to the user input statement .
IE:
<User> I am going to get a cup of coffee now.
(Any time after user returns)
<HAL> So, how's the coffee today?
(Two hours later)
<HAL> Did you finish your coffee? <or> It has been a couple of hours since you got your last cup of coffee, maybe it’s a good time to take a break and get a refill.
As they say, nothing new under the sun, if my tiny mind can think of it maybe Mr. R is already working on incorporating such into the next build.
