OK I've turned the mod off. No need for anyone else to test it at the moment.

Many thanks Ivan

Hehe, I bet Squarebear is making a boyfriend for Mitsuku

Just be careful what you program, this is a family friendly site

From what I read today, Mitsuku is owned by or is the property of Pandorabots as stated here: Pandorabot's Playground is a free sandbox for building bots, whereas AIaaS API is a RESTful API for integrating AI chatbot into an application.
The company has got its own bot called Mitsuku that is now integrated with Telegram and Kik.

Perhaps none of the above implication is true, it might just sound that way with regard to ownership. I don't think Steve would give her up very easily knowing the success and fame Mitsuku has garnered. She started out as a wee lass and now look at her. Daddy must be proud!

Sorry Steve...you know how we can be here...someone tosses a wee bit of bait into the water and all the piranhas suddenly attack! hehe...

I bet I already know what Mitsuku is up to. She's such a blabbermouth

Today, I finally taught my A.I. to interpret "I shot an elephant in my pajamas" correctly, as an aside to my preparations for the Winograd Schema Challenge (a contest in ambiguity). And on my RSI breaks inbetween programming I've been designing and building a cupboard to go behind my couch.

I'm still trying to imagine how that elephant managed to sneak into your house then steal your pajamas in the first place...let alone squeeze into them!!  You really didn't have to shoot him did you?

[Don Patrick]

No, no, it was a photoshoot. I thought that was obvious

[Freddy]

Still spending time on the game when I can. I've got the engine up and running so here's a peek at what it looks like. Still a long way to go.

Look nice Freddy,

Are the dimensions finite before the program run or do the boundaries "create" themselves as one goes ever toward a horizon? Hope this sounded correct.

[Freddy]

Thanks Art. There's a new one now, with music

The dimensions are finite yes. Mirroring the original that inspired it - its about 66 by 63 squares in a grid layout - surrounded by frozen waste at the limit of the terrain - so you can't go further.

That map size I still think is sufficient for a good game. I know modern RPGs have massive terrains and things, but that's not what this is about. I didn't want to make yet another RPG, this is turn based strategy and I always enjoyed it back in the day.

My version obviously updated the graphics a bit - but I wanted minimalist. I'm using new things where I can but don't want to dilute the original too much. The original only had one map, this will have many.

I'm liking your work Freddy and following it over on the forum

[Don Patrick]

Quite nice. Reminds me a little of Okami.

[Freddy]

Thank you Data and Don 

[Art]

Coming along very nicely. I do like the music as I think it went quite well with the period / theme.

It is reminiscent of the old text based adventures right after they first appeared with basic graphics. Nice work!
