Cybert Programming Read this about Cybert's low level and high level code. Reports Study reports about Cybert's creation and programming. Cybert will have something to say about just about everything, and to make his orations less predictable I'd like to have numerous variations for each comment. Unfortunately, these routines are currently not accessible by the .OCX that I will be using to write Cybert's programming in Visual Basic. Before I can truly feel that this project has been a success, Cybert will need to be accepted as a member of our family.
Unpredictability is critical.
If he says the same thing every time he bumps into a wall, his programming will be obvious. As I said above, it is very important for Cybert's behaviors to be somewhat unpredictable. By giving Cybert the ability to teach himself, interesting and unpredictable behaviors are almost guaranteed. I have several ideas about how to make Cybert somewhat useful. He could come into the bedroom every morning at a pre-determined time and wake me up.
