"Akinator" (Online Character Guessing Game)

Post by the_abberration » Wed Aug 11, 2010 3:38 pm

Found this game of 20 questions online. If you think of any DB character, it can figure it out the majority of the time (if you answer truthfully). Here's the link if you want to try to stump it.

Heh, I know that one.
It easily guesses the main characters, but has a hard time guessing minor characters that have occurred once or twice in Dragonball.
And I can say that I have won the game against Akinator quite a few times when I have been bored.

That's weirdly accurate.

-edit- He was really close with 'Raditz' but then asked a couple more questions and got 'Telluce' right. This shit is awesome.
-edit- Same with Vegeta and then, correctly, Paragus.

Holy crap!! Two correct guess!!!

If you're wondering, the first was Optimus Prime, and the second was Starscream.

I'll try more characters to see how far my mind can go.

EDIT: It guessed Yotsuba as well!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo, Mr.Popo and Naruto, then it stopped being correct.

Ah I remember this, it's works pretty well, i'd say 80% of the time.

I forgot the name of it though for about a month, thanks.

It got Bulma and Buu, but it only got Bardock after guessing Vegeta first. I'mma play this for a while...

To my understanding, it will be forever unable to guess Z from Neko Majin, as the names must be longer than 2 letters...

I tried Appule and he guessed Kiwi, close but no cigar. :wink:

Edit: Lol! His first guess for Emperor Dornkirk from Escaflowne was Pedro from napoleon dynamite.

I tried Appule, didn't work.

Then I tried Freeza a few times, all it guessed was King Cold.

Wow, that's brutal, I've just thinked about Son Goku, it's too general so I wanted to try it.....
And later about Andromeda Shun from Saint Seiya. At first, he guessed Kanon but after some more questions over 20 he got that. Wow, somebody who programmed that must be pretty clever))))

The way the program works is that it gathers information that is typed in by us users, and connects them with relevance and different questions and makes a guess out from that.
So from the beginning it probably had a lot of mistakes, but as you see you can register your own characters, which leads to the program to be smarter and smarter...

...I think we have a problem here.
