Yay. It''s still not very good yet, and it completely lacks a memory, but You can still hold some decently interesting conversations with it. I''ve also tried hard to have it''s responses at least make some sense, even if they aren''t exactly informative or intellegent. Post logs of any interesting conversations, or when it gets completely confused. <- Cow Soft, free software I''ve made "Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall." - Grizwald

You should make it capable of remembering certain things. For example, he asked my name and interests, but can''t repeat them back to me.

You used a whole lot of if-statements for your bot.

Interesting, though.

Yeah, it searches for keywords and phrases (and key-punctuation when it gets confused ).

Your bot may be somewhat cool, but is it confused, filled with angst, AND hateful toward its creator(s)? I think not!

But... does "BotBot" actually do anything?

Mine does:

MushuBot: How does that make you feel?
Me: Odd.
MushuBot: Go on.
Me: I hate computers.
MushuBot: Go on.
Me: Are you even listening to me?
MushuBot: Go on.
...

Well; it does more than that. An ELIZA clone to be sure.

Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly.
