vprette Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Thinking about another ECS project, I look at Eliza artificial intelligence chat it would be not a game, in line with portfolio of ECS that promote different kind of application, this one being a basic doctor/psychiatric help is this interesting? I guess the parser to be implemented in Colossal Cave could be released as open source and reused for such program as Eliza..

vprette Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I have already some ideas on this one.... :-) Edited February 17, 2012 by vprette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 How about the game Hacker instead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_%28video_game%29 I would rather play games on my Inty than have a conversation with it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just wanted to say interesting. I have played with Eliza and even S.A.M. (with voice) on the Atari 800. Eliza on the Intellivision with Intellivision would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Well, get to it. We're here to help if you need it. dZ Well ok. Does anyone have any IntelliCode for working with the voice module? Well, working from ECS Basic?

+DZ-Jay Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Well ok. Does anyone have any IntelliCode for working with the voice module? Well, working from ECS Basic? Hmm... I'm not sure if the ECS BASIC supports the Intellivoice. I guess theoretically, you could Peek & Poke your way in there, but I would imagine it'll be much too slow... -dZ.

doctorclu Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I looked up the Eliza program and it looks like it is 1766 characters long. They say the ECS has 2K which should be 2000K characters, but I was curious what the true amount of characters a person would have to work with? If there is enough memory I'll type it in and see if the ECS basic can handle it, save it, and try to make a wav file of the program for others to load.

Hmm, that's not what I was thinking... never mind. A few things of note: BASIC is not stored in characters, but in tokens. Each command or keyword comprises a token. Only strings are stored in characters. Numbers are stored as 2 16-bit words (4 bytes). Some memory is reserved for variable space. I believe the ECS EXEC also uses up some of that 2K RAM during runtime. With that in mind, it's not as straightforward to know what size the program will take in memory or if it would fit at a glance. -dZ.

Is there really no way to read or write to arbitrary memory locations? Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
