There we go! This is what I meant when I asked for instructions. :)

Going to check it out as soon as I have time away from classes/etc.

Edit: Has anyone tried installing the Haskell Platform via MacPorts? I'm going to try it, I think!

Edit2: Success! Instructions (given that you have a Mac and MacPorts):

$ sudo port install haskell-platform

If you don't have git, do this step:

$ sudo port install git

Carry on...

$ git clone <https://github.com/machine-intelligence/Botworld.git>
$ cd Botworld/examples
$ curl -O <https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Soares/10444320/raw/3f96fe8e3cfe7afce7ec80d3e8fd07f304f2e6f1/gistfile1.txt>
$ mv gistfile1.txt Botworld.hs
$ runhaskell Rudimentary.hs

Edit3: How the heck do I stop the commenting software from putting those angle brackets around my URLs inside code blocks?

How the heck do I stop the commenting software from putting those angle brackets around my URLs inside code blocks?

This is an experiment. Attempt 1:

a url: <http://example.com>

Attempt 2:

a url: http\://example.com

Attempt 3:

a url: http​://example.com

1: Just the url to replicate the original problem.

2: Backslashing the colon. That blocks the URL-recogniser, but the backslash isn't interpreted.

3: Unicode ZERO WIDTH SPACE before the colon. It works! Well, no, it doesn't. You get something that looks like a url until someone tries copying and pasting it.
