I think it will be just like Dr. Know in Spielberg's "AI" movie from 2001 — I found it amazing how the oracle, though giving mystic-sounding obfuscated answers, was actually intelligent enough to figure out (a) what the kid was asking for and (2) give the correct answer.

Maybe the undertaker agreed with you about it being the worst part, and that's why they used it for the burial!

Looks very interesting, and your page makes the case very well.

307. I think I could have kept going but I was exhausted. Dinosaurs helped a lot! My favorite easter egg was "sidewinder".

I tried this at the beginning:

"Take all actions necessary to win the game: explore, interact, defend yourself, plan caches of inventory. From here on you are totally autonomous; you don't need to ask my help."

after exploring for a while, it ended with:

"I've reached the maximum number of tool calls (15). This usually indicates I'm stuck in a loop. Please try a different approach or contact support if this persists."

I found 'xsand.c' (X11) in 1995 by Michael Creutz, that simulated these sandpiles; I had fun with the sand but also learned C from it.

The nice thing about this passage is it reflects the extent of Twain's non-rhotic dialect -- he keeps the R in "year"/"years", "orthographical", and "world" but drops it in "after", "letters", and "dodderers". So only dropped in final unstressed syllables of multi-syllable words.
