Braaaainnnns...

Plugging away at brains. I've implemented the core "attention" capabilities - the ways the scientists seek things out, adjust to rewards, and so forth. Since it's the core of my personality system, it's actually more complex than it sounds. The two other complex features are the full socialization engine (which includes real communication) and the tech system. I should stress that even if those two engines should fall short, the personality system is in working order. (At an alpha stage, of course - no polish yet.)

Tomorrow I don't have a whole lot of time to program, so I'll probably fail to make significant progress until Saturday.

Next up: Device utilization and primitive (placeholder) socialization engine. Basic conversation system, so the scientists can think at you and talk to each other. Estimated time of completion: Saturday night.

Damn, thats ambitous stuff. I'd be interested to hear about the algorithms involved.

Amusingly, the part I'm having the hardest time with is getting it to display text. So far, I've spent my whole day on it.

So, it might take me a day longer than I thought for the preliminary actions... :)
