Akinator, the Web Genius

[Jono2]

It got the obvious ones, but it missed Buddy and quite a few others. I'm more interested in the code for this bot.
It didn't get my favorite one, Nickola Tesla, so it doesn't get any points.

it learns both when it loses and when it wins.  I can't write out the code for you, but this is the general Idea:

-User starts the game.
-User plays the 20 questions game.  Questions do not nullify other questions (I have had "is it a woman" and "is it an adult male?" in the same round).  It records the responses.  However, questions can lead to other questions. (Does your character come from the internet + Is your character an animal = is your character related with children = pedobear).  It takes the information and starts to limit entries in the database, but doesn't altogether eliminate them.

If then takes the responses of the 20 questions and compares them to results from answers already in the database.  It takes the best response and gives it back to the user.  If there are two identical results, it likely compares with the response that came from a person closest to the user's specifications (gender, age).

If it wins with this response, it takes down the answers to the twenty questions and adds them as specifications to this character that it had won with, as well as the user's age and gender.  This solidifies a response so that it will guess this more often, and as a result, likely get it correct more often.

If it loses, then it asks the user for the correct answer.  At this point, it creates a new entry in the database, without a picture.  I assume that the site owner looks up and finds images for this new entry, as google images won't give the correct picture upon first guess.


That's the gist of it.

I was thinking of Ninten. He guessed Ness.
He got Arale right. :|
Wow, he got Serious Sam too.
I tried Triss (From the Redwall books.). He guessed Cattie-Brie (Forgotten Realms).
I tried Bob Marley. He guessed Slash from Guns and Roses. :-\
I tried Donbie (Dr. Slump). He guessed Gizmo.

What fun.

[HTA!]

Holy poop...

He got Hector.
I'm amazed.

Also got:
-Sherlock Holmes
-Gaz (CoD4)
-Captain Price (CoD4)
-Genie (Aladdin)

Heehee, I added me and Vaati to the thing.
Try to get one of us.

I wouldn't expect him to get Buddy...hardly anyone knows of Six String Samurai, it seems.

[HTA!]

I got Kodiak instead of you Silver. :(

[Macawmoses]

He didn't get Vaatix...he said moot. Moot is an interesting soul though...so that's not too bad.

[Linkman]

I got Moot while trying to get Silver..

Also, I got Chrischan while trying to get Vaatix.  That was pretty funny.

Riolu. He guessed Tangela
Elekid. He guessed Pikachu (my fault, though.)
Rotom. He guessed Jolteon.
Garchomp. He guessed Sonic.
Dialga. He guessed Arceus.

I did Riolu and he guessed right. Probably from your answers, though.
