The Bot Bikeshed
-
I would put this in the bot testing category, except you have to opt-in to see that category, and this thread is intended to solicit feedback and suggestions from the end-users, not (only) bot developers and testers.
To avoid derailing the RPG thread any further, so the DM can start railroading the players (
), I'm going to continue the @error_bot dice module discussion here.In our most recent discussion, our intrepid adventurers have come up with quite a wishlist for our bot. On the table are:
- addition, subtraction (maybe multiplication, division) of lists of expressions
- dice expressions which can include modifiers including count, sides, number to keep/discard, numbers which need to be re-rolled
- expression nesting/grouping
- parameterized operators like min/max
In this vein, I've defined a set of Abstract Syntax Tree types that can represent all of the above (and more). That's the easiest part. The second easiest part is evaluating the tree, which I think I can do with the visitor pattern applied a few times in order of precedence, until hopefully at the end there's one node left with the result.
Honestly, the painful part is lexing the text to construct the tree. I'm guessing I should chop it into tokens first, then ???, then profit.
-
@error I've had good results with a structure that expects keywords and considers everything else parameters, with adjacent keywords implying a merge operation. if the merge is always a subcommand, this can be condensed into recursion.
This makes the
Commandinterfacedo(final Object... parameters)but, can't have everything.
-
I think I've got the lexer figured out. Going from stream of tokens to tree of nodes is the missing link.
-
@error make a command builder consume the stream and spawn / merge commands as needed?
ed. this is a good excuse to use a stateful lambda

Duh.

Yes, let's ask the users about bot features they would like, in the category the users can't see.

I mean you could just put a post in the RPG topic (as anyone who's interested about that is in there anyway) linking to this topic in the correct category. Problem solved.

correct category.
Well, the question is whether this is an RPG topic or a development topic, really.
-
@Gribnit I don't actually care, I'm mostly just complaining for the sake of it.
-
@loopback0 whatever your hand and mind find to do, do it with all your heart

I think this thread could be in the game category, separate from the RPG thread. The group that has access is clearly identified as being for bot developers/programmers (
to look up the actual name); I'm interested in the bot (although it looks to me like we'll be using @Mason_Wheeler's bot rather than @error_bot), but I'm not interested in joining the bot developers' group.

OK, I was intending this to be the meta/
for bot testing, not the alternative bot testing thread.
