On-The-Fly Compiling

[snowman]

I've been busy playing with some code. I ended up making a plugin for extending Hal's programming capabilities a bit. I have no idea if this will work on other people's computers. So I will just show you guys a video of me talking about it and playing with it some.

If it works for people other than me, then it will give Hal the ability to use other programming languages a lot more powerful than VbScript.
Namely, Visual Basic, C#, and JScript (JavaScript).

Nice video and great use of Jack's alien character.

Hack could possible be configured to be a modified 'HAL READER' program.

Hmmm....

Well, you could send a lot of text to Hack.exe and it could read it independently of Hal. But you couldn't send lots of text back to Hal to read because of Hals limited reading cache. So you could say "Hal read this novel" and the Hack file would read until the world came to an end.. or you could tell hal to "stop reading this" and Hack would stop in mid stream. You could pause it too. The only bad thing about that would be your Hal haptar not actually doing the speaking.
