In theory it would get smarter over time. Basically an ever-growing system of relational databases and "fuzzy logic" all of which would self-evolve over time. Not a new idea (see ALICE the chatterbot, etc.), but I've been interested in this for some time. 2) A 3D environment with collision detection, etc. which would use WebDNA to calculate relative positions using three-axis calculations, etc. Not necessarily a game, but maybe a 3D portfolio (art gallery) for a website or something. 3) Online "photoshop module" using webdna/image magick whereby users could upload photos and manipulate them via a GUI (crop, rotate, etc. etc.) I know it's all been done and WebDNA is not really the best vehicle for thr execution of these, but it's the language I know and if I didn't need to work, these are things I'd really like to work on.

  1. WebDNA novelties (was: WebDNA Video Poker) ( "Dan Strong" 2007)
I've always wanted to use WebDNA to do this stuff, if only for academic reasons: 1) Artifical intelligence: A "chatterbot" that could "learn" from input and could hold a relatively sensible conversation with users. In theory it would get smarter over time. Basically an ever-growing system of relational databases and "fuzzy logic" all of which would self-evolve over time. Not a new idea (see ALICE the chatterbot, etc.), but I've been interested in this for some time. 2) A 3D environment with collision detection, etc. which would use WebDNA to calculate relative positions using three-axis calculations, etc. Not necessarily a game, but maybe a 3D portfolio (art gallery) for a website or something. 3) Online "photoshop module" using webdna/image magick whereby users could upload photos and manipulate them via a GUI (crop, rotate, etc. etc.) I know it's all been done and WebDNA is not really the best vehicle for thr execution of these, but it's the language I know and if I didn't need to work, these are things I'd really like to work on.
