CSharp RiveScript Interpreter

Build status MIT License

SYNOPSIS

This is a C# implementation of a RiveScript interpreter, per the Working Draft at http://www.rivescript.com/wd/RiveScript.html

This code was initially developed based on the official version of the Java interpreter rivescript-java - https://github.com/aichaos/rivescript-java

MOTIVATION

As a C# developer sought a different mechanism of AIML + Program# for chatterbot due to discontinuity or implementation of complication. In seeking an alternative i came across the RiveScript that with its simplicity and syntax made me choose this as my new chatterbot script. As the C# interpreter announced the offical site is not functional, i have decided to make the C# interpreter, based on the official Java code.

PS: This is my first public library, then I'm sorry for the lack of knowledge of some community standards.

TASK LIST

  • Make a port of actual rivescript-java - Make a port of current Java code, 'shame on me =]'
  • Create some basic tests - based on RiveScript 'official' demos and myself
  • Push to github on public repository
  • Develop a native objects for csharp
  • Migrate last fixes and changes from rivescript-java since jan-2016 (some push a lot)
  • Create a RSBot Demo Script (By Efface Studios)
  • Complete test based on rsts
  • Complete the code documentation and adjust appveyor to build and release on tag
  • [...]

CODE STANDARDS

  1. I put the methods with same name as Java lib (pascalCasing) to all imterpreters have same mehtod name
  2. I like to use (false == condition) instead (!condition), becous i always miss the "!" out my vision
  3. Do not use Linq, to make this code compatible with olders frameworks versions
  4. [...]
