Hi Jann, I'm not sure you really want the source at this point... at least not without some pretty detailed explanation to go along with it!
I first started working on the algorithm six years ago in perl, which also happened to be when I was first learning how to program. Given my inexperience, that effort didn't amount to much. But it has only been less than a month since I began from scratch in Javascript. So the overall algorithm has been sitting in my head for quite some time, but it has only been very recently that I've decided to take up the AI challenge again... this time with far more programming ability. As far as it goes, I have so far put zero effort into having a decent variety of words being recognized. On the site, you will find instructions to see what words are recognized, and how to add to the list. At present, there is no facility to refer to things without using some kind of article or possessive... So to do something like what you want, you will have to type the following two lines to get it to recognize the words: nouns:cake adjs:delicious Then you can type something like: There is a delicious cake or... There is a cake It is delicious or even... There is a cake and it is delicious Then you can say... There is a boy named mike He has the cake Mikes cake is blue The idea of saying "cake is delicious" is much more dangerous because it labels an entire type class. This would disallow the existence of bad tasting cakes. I think at this early phase, it is much better to think in terms of instances rather than entire classes. Then once the logic of instances gets worked out, we can start thinking about classes (carefully!). The program does allow you to give arbitrary names like this: There is a boy named Zebulon or There is a girl She is named Zelda It currently looks for any arbitrary sequence of characters after the word "named" and then adds this sequence into the list of recognized names.
