All work and no play makes for a sad robot #189

Closed neocotic closed 10 years ago

neocotic commented 10 years ago

When our metallic overlords look back on their history, would you not prefer them to see that we once asked them to play instead of work?

deadprogram commented 10 years ago

I quite agree, @stewart I propose we alias work as play or vice-versa.

solojavier commented 10 years ago

I like the idea of alias.. that way robots can both work and play.

neocotic commented 10 years ago

Thank you. Maybe we'll be spared after all.

@stewart based on your commit, I'm assuming I can't call play explicitly on a bot. Is that correct?

stewart commented 10 years ago

Not at present, I'm not sure it's a good idea to muddy up that code too much, unless we can come up with a better name for the work/play/task/blockOfInstructions a robot should perform when asked to (very nicely, of course).

neocotic commented 10 years ago

Fair enough. I don't think it's often called explicitly anyway, I was just curious. Thanks again.

Inspired by you guys at the Scotland JS conf, I've just ordered my first Sphero 2.0 and I'm looking forward to playing with it!
