'''Approach:''' | |||
8 bit games and old consoles fascinate me. I wanted to make a bot that recreated cut scenes from the old games with a graphic in the middle and text below it. It would in a way recreate old memories and also create possibility for a different kind of 8 bit poetry. | |||
Apart from this I also wanted the bot to behave more like an actual bot that you can talk to. I wanted people to meet him first, talk to him, figure out how he works, rather than a set of predefined instructions. | |||
'''Implementation:''' | |||
In the first version of the bot, if one tweeted to the bot there was a binary response depending on whether you tweeted with an image or not. If there was not image, the bot would ask you to send one. | |||
With the latest update of the bot, now you can talk to him as well. I have attempted to make the AI good enough at least to pull of a basic conversation. | |||
Tweet to [https://twitter.com/8bitify @8bitify] now to get to know 8bitify! See if you can get him to 8bitify a picture for you or not! | |||
