Lesson #0 - Hello world!

Every bot needs at least a main dialog. This is the dialog that gets triggered when the bot starts. As you can see, using the # character you can add comments to your scripts.

Lesson #1 - Dialogs and triggers

Lesson #2 - say & show

Lesson #3 - Ask

Lesson #4 - Strings & numbers

Lesson #5 - Locations

Lesson #6 - Collections

Due to the use of log, you should run this script in the DialoX studio directly.

dialog main do
  say "Look at the Log pane in the lower mid part of your studio window:"
  show image "https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/bsqd-out/image/13f1c476-ccb6-49c8-85e3-dae2473405dc-1280x1280.jpg"
  invoke arrays
  invoke lists
  invoke maps
end

  # pick an item by its index
  log colors[0]

  # iterate through all items

  repeat c in colors do

  # from array to string
  colors = join(colors, ", ")
  say "Colors comma separated: #{colors}"

  # from string to array
  colors = split(colors, ", ")

  # from array to string with last item different: x, y and z
  say "Colors nicely formatted: #{join(colors, ", ", " and ")}"

  # slice a part of the list
  log slice(colors, 2, 3)

  # shuffle the list
  log shuffle(colors)

  # reverse the list
  log reverse(colors)

  # get first item
  log first(colors)
