>Secondly, while he is happy to put lavish names, such as "Sensorium", on empty or nearly empty functions, he seems to be completely oblivious to the real issues a succesful AI mind must address.

2. Code the Sensorium module of AI4U Chapter 23(2002):99-103.
Start a subroutine or module that is able to sense something coming in from the outside world, i.e., a key-press on the keyboard.
First code recognition of the Escape-key (ASCII 27).
Next code recognition of the Tab-key (ASCII 9).
Then code recognition of the Enter-key (ASCII 13).
Take the ESCAPE-key handler or other mechanism of stopping the
AI out of the main Alife loop and transfer it to the Sensorium stub.
Test the embryonic robot mind by demonstrating that the main Alife loop either waits briefly for Sensorium input during each cycle, or generates an event-driven response to input detected by a Sensorium module. The proper response will be to keep cycling upon normal input or to terminate execution upon halt [ESCAPE] input. Share your code on the Web.
