Twitter has revoked API access for #CheapBotsDoneQuick, killing thousands of creative bots & even making it impossible to login to retrieve source for lost bots.

Luckily I ported my own crappy #CBDQ twitter bot over to Mastodon last week via #CheapBotsTootSweet. The flow of nonsensical #BuffyTheVampireSlayer plots will not be interrupted:

Elon Musk's Twitter 2.0 claims yet another victim, this time a beloved tool for making creative bots.

I am no longer running on Twitter; please help me decide what to do with my corresponding Twitter account in this poll: https://twitter.com/cooljeaniusbot/status/1643954902291435523 #CBDQ #RIPCBDQ

new known #CBTS behavior difference from #CBDQ: if you're hosting image assets on imgur, please source them as https://i.imgur.com/someURL because leaving out that "i." subdomain is causing the backend renderer to choke on a redirect. 🤖🙏

@botwiki @v Also paging @boodoo (who graciously supported me when my and other #cheapbotstootsweet bots were acting up). #botALLY #CBDQ

Does anyone know how to debug a cheapbotsdonequick.com bot? Asking for a fellow https://botmakers.org member.

Has anyone figured out how to migrate #CBDQ bots to Mastodon yet? I'll be disappointed if I lose the one I've been running: https://twitter.com/cooljeaniusbot

also: breadth-first subdivision allowed me to use normal colour selection instead of black and white in #CBDQ frontend. this does break the #print_img# tag that I use to see the SVG code with the generated image, though.

OK, neuromorpho SVG is working fine, I'll come back to it later and work on image layout, citations, #CBDQ formatting, etc.

tfw 10 minute wait to check if a syntax works differently on #CBDQ backend

Test pending. Can't test this through #CBDQ web interface because it runs into the delayed-evaluation "bug"
(the one that makes #Tracery Turing-complete)

I think I've got it?! Need to fix scaling, remove guide boxes, and make sure #CBDQ doesn't choke on the # signs... https://t.co/vcOLua4XZZ

not quite there, need to fix draw order so smaller tiles are always drawn later than larger tiles #truchet #tracery #CBDQ https://t.co/OIRu2utM63

Made a proof of concept that lets a #CBDQ/#CBTS bot administrate the "game" of counting modulo N. Not a huge step to noughts and crosses. #tracery

Sim ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sim_(pencil_game) ) has just sliiiightly too many game states to fit in a #tracery grammar for #CBDQ/#CBTS,
without adding extra rules for the human player in order to take advantage of isomorphism

Feeling spoiled by Turing-complete #tracery code for #CBDQ frontend, now that I'm writing backend-compatible grammars without lazy evaluation again.

Hi .@GalaxyKate, #Tracery (The version on #CBDQ frontend) is Turing-Complete! Here's a TM compiler made with help from @EliDupree@twitter.com: https://github.com/serin-delaunay/tmtracery #botALLY

#7DFPS 3d maze in #CBDQ with svg corridor rendering and list of possible action codes to reply with

Confirmed you can hack variable assignments in the same way #CBDQ #botALLY #tracery

anyway, as far as tracery discoveries go, I think at this point it's probably possible to make a universal turing machine grammar and make a #CBDQ/#CMTQ bot that generates a random machine and starting tape, runs it for a modest number of steps, and prints the output
