VitoLang challenge

==================



The goal of this challenge is to make your own game in your own language - VitoLang!



The game's name is "Guess developer" and is based on the famous game "Guess animal".

Your task is to make a program which will ask a user several questions about the Heureka developer

which the user is thinking about and to which the user can reply with simple yes/no answers.

When the program is sure which developer the user is thinking about then it will print out

his/her name. If the program is not sure and is out of questions it should make a

guess - pick random suiting answer. After that it should ask the user if it's answer is

correct. The user will again reply with yes/no answer. If the program succeded in guessing

the developers name it should print out a success message. Othwerwise it should somehow

apologize and ask user to help it out - it should ask the user to enter another question

and it's correct answer. The program will store that question to it's database and use it

next time to guess the developer more precisely.



You must complete that task in your own language - VitoLang! You can find all about it

there: https://github.com/grongor/vito-lang



The initial database of developers should contain at most 7 developers. The rest must be

learned by the program itself.



The challenge will be considered done if you provide us with your source code in VitoLang.

You also have to post a video on Twitter with hashtag #vanocesvitou which

will show how the program learned to recognize a new developer (first it fail's to guess

correctly and on a second run with same questions the programm will decide correctly).



The entire interface, questions etc are up to your imagination. Please check "Guess animal

example if you are still not sure about the task.



Good luck and have fun! :-)



"Guess animal" example

----------------------



```

vit.novak $ chci guess-animal.nohy



Hey, vit.novak, wanna play a game?



Think about an animal and I will tell you what animal you are thinking about.



Are you ready?

> Yes



Does the animal fly?

> No



Does the animal live in water?

> No



Is it a home animal?

> Yes



The animal you were thinking about is a cat.

Is that correct?

> No



Jeeeez ... well, maybe next time I will do better.

What was the animal you were thinking about?

> dog



Ok, I should've seen that comming.

Can you type in a question that would help me distinguish between cat and dog next time?

> Does it often chase it's own tail?



Nice one ... and the answer is?

> Yes



Okey, I will remember that. Thank you ;-)
