MUD Bot. Connected to a MUD server via Telnet protocol, logged in, parsed text to determine directions or actions to take, moved around and interacted with the world. Outputted a map as it went along. If other people spoke/chatted in its presence, it would interface with the ELIZA chatterbot and carry on a conversation. Sadly, I lost the code. C++

A Final Fantasy XI bot. C++ (source)

My greatest project, lost in the great computer crash of 2005, was a MUD (Multi User Dungeon) chatbot. When launched, it would automatically connect to a MUD server, create a character, log in, then walk walk, chatting with people. It captured conversations and parsed their parts-of-speech by connecting to the internet via a Google API key, searching the dictionary for words, and getting their parts of speech dynamically (Most part-of-speech analyzers use a dictionary-based approach). It would scan the environment, run from danger, and traverse the virtual world, keeping track of where it was and building a map. It had a graphical output that would show the map being built in real time and where the character was.
I worked on it for several years then lost it during a computer/marriage crash/move/divorce. Hey, I was young.
