megahal
is a conversation simulator. It differs from conversation simulators
such as Eliza in that it uses a Markov Model to learn how to hold a
conversation. It is possible to teach MegaHAL to talk about new topics,
and in different languages.
megahal-personal
is a variant of megahal that saves its state files in ~/.megahal/ when it
exits. This lets each user have their own personal megahal.
OPTIONS
--no-prompt, -p
Do not display prompt when asking user for input. This is a debian-specific
modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to
another program.
--no-wrap, -w
Do not word-wrap text megahal outputs. This is a debian-specific
modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to
another program.
--no-banner, -b
Suppress the startup banner. This is a debian-specific
modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to
another program.
WARNING
MegaHAL allows multiple lines to form a single input. Thus a single
newline character is parsed as any other token and MegaHAL can output
replies consisting of multiple lines. To end an input, you need to
type enter twice.
