A bot is a robot that was made by people.
An AI bot (also known as Artificial Intelligence or simply AI) usually works in sites, apps, and in the real life.
In sites or apps, they can generate sentences, videos, music, images, and answers. In real life, AI can be a clone of someone, talk to someone, give advice, and can even do homework. Robots that work on websites are called web robots. These bots usually make designs, advertisements, images, etc.
 Note: | It is theoretically possible but not viable to make AI chatbots in scratch. However, an AI chatbot can be simulated by joining strings to create sentences. |
Talking Robot
One may use any of the sprites to see the result, but it will be better to use a robot. Both of these will output the username when the spacebar is pressed.
Method 1
When green flag clicked
forever
if <key (space v) pressed?> then
ask [What's your name?] and wait
say (join [Nice name, ] (answer)
Method 2
When [space v] key pressed
ask [What's your name?] and wait
say (join [Nice name, ] (answer)
Moving Robot
Method 1
When green flag clicked
set [x v] to (0)
set [y v] to (0)
go to x: (0) y: (0)
forever
change [x v] by (pick random (-1) to (1)
change [y v] by (pick random (-1) to (1)
When green flag clicked
forever
change x by (x)
change y by (y)
This will make the bot move around.
When green flag clicked
forever
if <touching (edge v)?> then
set [x v] to (0)
set [y v] to (0)
This will make the bot stop when it touches the edge of the stage.
When green flag clicked
forever
turn left (pick random (0) to ([abs v] of ((x)*(y))))degrees
turn right (pick random (0) to ([abs v] of (((x)*(y))-(x))))degrees
This will make the bot turn around.
Method 2
When green flag clicked
forever
move (pick random (1) to (10)) steps
This will make the bot move in the direction it is facing.
When green flag clicked
forever
point towards (mouse pointer v)
This will make it follow the mouse pointer.
| Note: | This bot will only follow your mouse pointer. If you want to make a bot that can walk itself, see Method 1. |
