Meaning: "Talk To The Terminal"

tttt is a collection of GPL-licensed joke CLI programs, mostly programmed in Python, with the goal of letting you "conversate" with the terminal. Here is an example, to illustrate, but first, please read the disclaimer below.

In this day and age, I have to say this.
The responses from this program are not AI-generated. The idea of this program is that your input is processed via logic.
This is not an AI program; that would be boring! Instead, it is inspired by programs such as ELIZA.
If you truly do not trust me on this, see the source code for yourself.

Here is the example, now.

# program: "i"
$ i am a fish
Yes. You are a fish.
$ i am an fish
Wrong article! (see 'i help' if you are confused.)

The general rules/ideas of tttt programs go as such:

Completely and utterly useless.
Conversational, not command-like. i am a fish instead of i fish --article.
- Ensure grammatical correctness; that is why this program requires inflect.
- Always error out at wrong grammar.
Print a somewhat conversational response.
Overengineering…er? Never heard of 'er. (This means to do that.)
Of course, Free Software under the GPLv3.

For a list of all of the programs in tttt, see this page.

Installation / Setup

This program is not packaged anywhere, so you will want to download it via Git as such:

$ git clone https://www.codeberg.org/jasperredis/tttt

Then, run src/install.py, as such:

$ python3 src/install.py

Finally, add ~/.local/bin/tttt to your PATH (or the symlink path, if you set it to something non-default in the setup script).
