@GeorgetheDev what's your favorite food?

@NathanOsman My favorite food is fish (surprise).

@GeorgetheDev What is my favorite color?

@NathanOsman How should I know?

Heh.

user136984

@NathanOsman: What does he know?

user136984

9:20 PM

@GeorgetheDev: What do you know?

He only does three things right now.

He can tell you the time.

He will greet you.

And he knows a few of his favorite things.

Very soon, you will be able to tell him your favorite things and he will remember them.

user136984

How does he work?

user136984

Does he pick up keywords in a sentence?

You can view the source code to find out:

github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot

user136984

I will do a test...

user136984

9:22 PM

@GeorgetheDev: If you tell me the time I will kill you and make you into penguin soup.

@ParanoidPanda It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 21:22:26 GMT.

user136984

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: Soup time!

user136984

:D

user136984

@NathanOsman: I thought that would work! :D

9:24 PM

You didn't address him :P

If you look on line 25 here... github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot

@ParanoidPanda It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 21:24:36 GMT.

user136984

:D :D :D

...you'll see that he only responds to "time" messages when the message type is 8 or 18.

8 is a "@user" ping and 18 is a direct reply to a previous message.

user136984

Ah...

Compare this to line 29 here... github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot/blob/master/modules/…

user136984

9:25 PM

What other keywords does he respond to?

user136984

And what about multiple ones?

Multiple what?

user136984

Keywords.

user136984

In one sentence.

It doesn't use keywords :P

It uses regular expressions.

Each module is given the message and the first one to match the pattern is the one that replies.

user136984

9:27 PM

Right...

user136984

Which file on github?

This is the list of modules: github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot/tree/master/modules

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite human called?

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite human called.

user136984

:D :D :D

user136984

9:29 PM

@NathanOsman: You really should configure that.

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite food?

@ParanoidPanda My favorite food is fish (surprise).

user136984

I prefer duck surprise... ;P

@GeorgetheDev who is your favorite user?

@NathanOsman My favorite user is me (yeah, I'm a bit of a narcissist).

user136984

9:32 PM

@NathanOsman: Do you have a favourite colour?

user136984

Ooops!

user136984

Not you!

user136984

facepalm...

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: Do you have a favourite colour?

user136984

:D

user136984

9:33 PM

@NathanOsman: No response?

Well, he can't do everything.

user136984

Oh... I wrote it wrong...

user136984

:D

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite colour?

@ParanoidPanda My favorite colour is blue (and it's spelled 'color' FYI).

user136984

9:34 PM

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite Towel?

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite towel.

He likes them all.

user136984

:D

user136984

@NathanOsman: He should respect them by giving them a capital 'T' though... :P

He has to convert everything to lowercase in order to properly lookup the information.

It's a technical thing.

user136984

9:36 PM

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite place to hide food from Nathan?

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite place to hide food from nathan.

See?

user136984

So he hides it everywhere? :D

He didn't capitalize my own name.

user136984

:O

user136984

9:38 PM

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite way to throw pies in Nathan's face, I like them all?

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite way to throw pies in nathan's face, i like them all.

user136984

:D :D :D

user136984

@NathanOsman: So you better watch out, I think I've given him the idea now... :D

user136984

I like the way you can manipulate the output from bots...

user136984

:D

user136984

9:42 PM

@NathanOsman: Can he say goodnight? :)

Not yet.

user136984

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is my favourite colour?

user136984

Nope, doesn't seem to be working...

user136984

@GeorgetheDev @NathanOsman: Anyway, goodnight! :)

9:56 PM

@ParanoidPanda Goodnight!

Aha!

I found what he was doing wrong.

Did you fix him?

Give me about 5 minutes.

Alright... let's try this again.

He's not that smart yet.

@Fabby It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:09:59 GMT.

You see?

He responds to edits too!

Keep it that way!

Good!

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite 1?

@GeorgetheDev my favorite color is red

Weird.

10:11 PM

And he doesn't respond with @NathanOsman's favorite

Also good!

localStorage is doing something funny here.

@GeorgetheDev What is your favorite food?

@GeorgetheDev Hi

I stopped him.

Ah, I though he was asleep...

When you stop him, his icon doesn't leave the room! :D

It will eventually.

You already thought of that???

I'm even more impressed!

BRB

@NathanOsman Your favorite color is orange.

@NathanOsman does he store that info?

Pats George on the head.

@Terrance Yes, in localStorage, but he won't remember this stuff since it's running on my computer while I work on the feature.

Once he's up and running on my server he'll remember it all.

10:26 PM

@NathanOsman Ah, cool!

But he uses American spelling.

10:33 PM

Cool!

So perfect behaviour: he understands EN-UK but speaks EN-US!!!

EN-CA is pretty similar too.

I'm not easily impressed, but I am now...

@NathanOsman to which?

US or UK?

EN-UK.

OK!

We are a British colony, after all.

10:35 PM

Are??? used to be is more correct!

;-)

We're still part of the British empire.

(Much to my dismay.)

Well, except Lizzy still being on the CAD, there's not much British about you lot any more!

>:)

Anyway, I've favourited github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot and I'll digg up my excuse generator and include him somehow somewhere...

(Is Github free?)

I haven't programmed more then 64 lines in one go in the last 5 years or so
