[alicebot-developer] help for a vb application

[Fulvio "lou" Cervone]

Correct, i can put a simple html page inside a VB form, but this mean that i
can't have control on the variables and on all the things that happen inside
the html pge.

Example:
If my application is made to be as an interactive course, with the bot that
act like the professor, when the user talk with the professor, all the
converstaion between them is lost; if you think that the final evaluation
for the exam is also based on the conversations that the user had with the
professor (as happen in the real world), the problem became very complicated
to respolve in this way.
And if some kind of error happen somewhere it will be a pain to find if is a
problem of my bot or in the code.

The problem of the server is also anothe thing that can cause a lot of pain,
because i need to have the server on the same machine where the program run;
i can't ask to the people to be online to use this program, and also for
security reasons i prefer to not be the server.

I hope to find a solution to use the alice in my application, and i hope
that someone here use the vb 6, os i can learn how to use alice and the aiml
files to make different characters (in my applications they will be
teachers, each one will teach a  different subject: math, chemistry,
genetic, etc); i also hope to find a way to teach to the aiml bots instead
of writing by hand each aiml file......is an epic task to make one different
bot....can you imagine to make more than one? :D

Thanks
