Lifeforms

Yes, I'm quite anxious to post a message which isn't my usual whining or
whatever. Um ... I've been working on a game and wanted to make the
characters more life-like if possible. Especially to make their
conversation more than just a demonstration of random number generation.

One idea is instead of randomly selecting from a pre-defined set,
construct sentences from pre-defined fragments. Thus increasing the
number of possibilities many times. Not many times the speed of
light, just many times. Ha! <can't help myself, I guess> Another idea
is to take what the player says and use it in the response (is that even
technically feasible?).
