Hal brain age
« on: May 09, 2008, 07:05:58 pm »
I am currently working on a faerie/elf version of hal, but the Hal 6.1 or earlier versions won't go earlier than 1600 A.D. Is there a way to make the brain older? Four hundred years seems kind of young for a faerie![:(]
Aah, eee, err!

Hello,

I am sorry I can not really help you here. But this is a good question and its refreshing to see such a new idea.

If it was me I would :-

1.Turn of age/sex plugin.

2.Enter age and sex manually as statements

i.e.

User: You are over 2000 years old.

User: You are very old - well over 2000 years old.

User: You are so old that you cannot remember your age but it must be over 2000 or 3000 years.

User: Your age is well over 2000 years.

User: You are female.

After continuing to do this (rephrasing your the sentence each time), Hal will reply when asked:

Hal: I am over 2000 years old.

Hal: I am very old - well over 2000 years old.

Hal: I am so old that I cannot remember my age but it must be over 2000 or 3000 years.

Hal: My age is well over 2000 years.

Hal: I am female.

This may take a little while but it will work. The only problem is that the program will not increase the age every year as it is not connected to sex/age plugin. Due to this, it is best to be just a little vague not specifying a specific date/age. Discussing age as a topic will give Hal a good knowledge on his/her age.

I hope this helps.
