Hi,

I love this site. I lurk and read all the time and I am getting quite good thanks to everyone.

I am a AS beginner, maybe even advanced beginner. I want to make a Bob Dylan question and answer game. Basically, you ask Dylan a question and he “answers” with a song lyric. For example, someone can ask, “how do you feel about war?” and the appropriate answer would derive from a lyric of his. This seems fairly simple to me since I will be using mostly strings and varables correct? Anyway, I guess my question would be how hard would this be for a novice? What things should I watch out for? What would be the best way to go about it?

Remember, people can ask anything in the world too, so how could I compensate for that? I was thinking that maybe, for words that are NOT EQUAL to the phase typed, I could capture them to see what people are asking to maybe add later?

I guess, I would just say - IF certain words = this, then GIVE THIS ANSWER. In my example above “how do you feel about war?” the ‘keywords’ the program would look for are “how feel about war” then give a related response.
