I made madborg available for download and posted on how to
hack colins to create a madborg that would work in MOO or Cold.
The MOO/Cold madborg was stationary and everything worked fine.
But for the db project I wanted madborg to be mobile so I turned on his
room check code. As soon as I did that, I found that saying "hello" would
case him to core dump. I also see that I tested him on MUX and apparently
I was having the same problem. I probably would have continued to work on
him except for three reasons:
-I had to use cc instead of gcc or do a lot more code changes
-the code was difficult for me to understand in places
and too many things were hardcoded
-I discovered Joe Strout's python bot and
that became the new madborg
I think that julia/colins was a really fun bot in its time. But I
don't recommend that anyone today work with the old code.
