So, this page contains all the updates and news on LISA - including what she's currenlty capable of and how - as she's coded.

Currently, LISA is capable of the following:

Low memory requirements

Because of the way the responses are generated, you can store several thousand responses in only a couple dozen characters due to the LXL syntax.  This means LISA can also randomly access a lot more information faster, instead of parsing through several hundred or even thousand response options, LISA simply goes through and generates a response on the fly.  Plus, imagine having to manually type out 1000 different respones for just one input.  LISA can handle thousands for dozens of inputs.

Use nested OR statements with various arguments and variiables, which allow for some really complex responses, using the LISA XML Language

The "LISA XML Language" (LXL) is really a complex programming language LISA can use to design her own responses from.  For example, the following <io> block contains the default message to display when LISA can't understand the user.  Note, that this leads to exactly 4239 different possible responses, some slightly different while others are completely different.  And that my friend, is a lot.

Built in Response Editor

The advanced built in Response Editor allows you to visually see every possible response LISA might dish out.  The Editor features shortcut keys to insert tags and OR statements.
