This project is a sample of implementation of Loebner Prize Protocol 2 ( https://github.com/jhudsy/LoebnerPrizeProtocol ) in C++.

Getting Started

Download the project and compile it with a C++ compilator on Windows (SEVEN minimum). This project have ben tested with Visual Studio Express and code::block, but there is nothing specific to a compilator.

Generalities

The WebSocket module implements a Web Socket IO to communicate with the Judge program of Loebner Protocol via internet. The LoebnerInterface module manages the Loebner protocol-specific part and exchanges with the Web Socket. The LoebnerBot module manages the HMI dialog with the user on one hand, and the interface with the chatbot on the other hand:

JUDGE <==> internet <==> WebSocket <==> LoebnerInterface <==> LoebnerBot <==> Your bot

The bot showed in example here only repeats the questions of the judge. I'm not sure it will pass the Turing test. Then you will need to adapt it to your chatbot.

Adaptation to your chatbot

• Step 1: Create a nice icon and put it in the place of the existing icon.
• Step 2: Customize the title of the dialog box.
• Step 3: Program the launch of your chatbot when a round is going to start.
• Step 4: Program the stop of your chatbot when a round is over.
• Step 5: Program the sending of judge's questions to your chatbot, and your chatbot's response to the judge.
• Step 6: Change parameters MIN_SPLIT_COMMA, MIN_SPLIT_POINT and BOT_SPEED to have a "human like" behaviour.

Steps are noted "TODO" in program, search it to find the parts you have to change.

Troubleshooting

If something goes wrong, you can activate a trace file. Set the variable "TRACE" in WebSocket.cpp. A trace file named LOGXXXX.tmp will be created in temporary folder. This file lists all exchanges between the program and the server like this, for example:
