README

        
This is a Processing library based on the Java implementation of the Eliza program by Charles Hayden.

Hayden's code is a complete and faithful implementation of the original program described by Joseph Weizenbaum in the Communications of the ACM in January 1966.

INSTRUCTIONS

The library is easy to use. Just import it, and then create an Eliza object:

```java

import codeanticode.eliza.*;

Eliza eliza;

eliza = new Eliza(this);

String response = eliza.processInput("Hello");

println(response);

```

You can use the readScript() function to change the script that Eliza uses to construct its answers:

```java

eliza.readScript("script");

eliza.readScript("http://chayden.net/eliza/script");

```

To go back to the default script that is loaded when Eliza is initialized, call the readDefaultScript() function.

For detailed instructions on how to modify the script file that determines Eliza's "behavior", read the following notes by Charles Hayden:
