Chatbot Resources

While working on my latest Unity project I ran into a wall trying to program the dialog for randomly generated AI in JavaScript. I could not find much in the way of tutorials, articles or open source projects in languages I was familiar with(Java, Action-script, JavaScript, Bash, etc).

I'm looking for cause and response dialogs and using databases to store programmed responses, not unlike late Multi-User Dungeon NPCs. If anyone could post me some resources, pertaining sites, articles or tutorials I would be in their debt!

Thanks in advance,
Kronos.

You can use Alice with AIML
You can code your own AIML file or if you google, there is lots out there. It is like XML.

There is also a Open Source PHP MySQL AIML Chatbot Project (http://blog.program-o.com/)


There is also Catbot (http://sourceforge.net/projects/catbot/) if your conversations are small.

I researched a lot of chatbots and the best uses the AIML script.

You can even get an editor (http://www.gaitobot.de/gaitobot/) to edit custom speech.

The only issue is the client, because most of them out there are very old.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ringmaster.

A lot of the resources I found were always broken links. But I got enough information between studying Catbot, the tutorial posted below and some old Google talks videos to get started.
