Lara,
This probably won't be very helpful, but when I saw your message first of all I thought the title was 'Positive Al' (short for Alan), and I thought maybe you'd created a character called Al who always took the positive view of everything. I used to have a character along those lines myself, called Cheerful Bob. I've still got some Cheerful Bob comic-strips knocking around somewhere: I used to make them up with my daughter Rachel. It was a very stormy night one night, so the roof got blown off Cheerful Bob's house. "I like a bit of fresh air", said Cheerful Bob. Then it rained harder and harder, so eventually it flooded and Cheerful Bob got swept out to sea. "I was just thinking about a visit to the seaside," said Cheerful Bob. Then he got picked up and carried off by pirates. "Life on the ocean wave!" said Cheerful Bob " - just what I've always dreamed about!" And so on and so forth. So... maybe you could create a program, or robot or whatever, called Positive Al, which always responds with a positive suggestion, whatever input it gets? Just a thought. Good luck with the project, anyway. Edward _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
