What's wrong with my bot's initialization code? (sorry for being a newb, lol) (Sdk)
What's wrong with my bot's initialization code? (sorry for being a newb, lol) // Sdk
Aug 17, 2003, 6:34pm
I learned programming with a tin can, $.35, and one of those adapters that
allows you to plug in larger old skewl headphones into the smaller more
conventional plug... I had to consume the $.35, then attempt to put the can
on my head while singing "I want to marry a light house keeper", and
stabbing at random things in the dark. I might have been drunk, I cant
remember.

Uh, perhaps you should do a little more research... There *is* an SDK for
java, at least there was a version ago, I see no reason why it wouldn't be
updated.

Just do a full login procedure instead of the QuickStart procedure. It's
not hard at all.

I typed three words into yahoo and came up with this:
http://www.insead.edu/CALT/Project/AWJavaBots/
.... I'm mean because I'm 80 and live in a shack out in the woods alone. I
have no one out here by my cat patches. I eat grass and ramen, because
social security isn't so good.
