The dialog displays how the conversation parser interprets user input and gives a hint about not yet known words. You can choose one of the predefined example sentences or write your own text into the input field. This way you can design the NPC conversations and test how the parser reacts on user input. You can see how the parser interprets the text, recognizes the words and merges them to longer expressions. Each expression is assigned an expression type like OBJect, SUBject, VERb or ADJective. If the parser discovers any unknown words, the surrounding expression is displayed in red color. You should add these new words to the word list "words.txt", located in the package "games.stendhal. |
