Very interesting project, Rich. I did some undergraduate studies in AI at the Univ of Toronto. I've been working on the idea of xCard-based agents for years now. It has also been a subject of *many* exchanges on the HyperCard list. So I would be pleased if you could keep us abreast on your progress. Btw, I created an AI-based tutoring system with 5 levels of interaction (demo, tutorial, CBT, coaching, formative and summative evaluations). Moreover, the system's goal was to teach HyperTalk to teachers. I did this back in 1992. It's still around, but much of it has drifted into bugginess, and I have learned so much since then, that I am a bit embarassed to release it as it is. I could give you some tips though. If there is a LOT of interest in this group for MC-based agents .. I mean people REALLY interested and willing to dedicate some time to it .. then, who knows, I may just launch an initiative with y'all to make our xCards into the very-best environment for agent research/development the World has ever seen! The kicker: contracts for cash, work-from-home kinda deal. Entrepreneurially yours, ;-) Alain F __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
