A framework for turn-taking interactions

README

A framework for turn-taking interactions.

Example

This is from example.py, using the terminal interface, and demonstrates several things:

• A plan-based structure that uses graphs to direct content flow

• Textual variation, including ordered variation in for the pschology questions

• Writing user input to a database

• Reading from the database to populate text

• Error checking through tests that are run on data input, including automatically displaying an error message, if the user gives an invalid input

• Confirmation of valid user input, which is achieved by specifying a boolean argument when creating the message

• The use of a generic interface class that is extended to make this interaction display on the terminal
