states

All 29 of Nox's states, in four layers. Click one to see it.

Nox stacks its state in layers. The base is what it’s up to in the background, an activity sits on top of that, an emotion colours both, and an event plays once and then lets go.

base

Setting a base with state() (or the attribute) also clears the activity and the emotion. bot.base() changes the base alone.

activity

Setting an activity with state() (or the attribute) wakes a sleeping Nox; bot.activity() leaves it asleep. bot.activity(null) clears it.

emotion

bot.emotion('happy', 3000) shows it for 3 seconds, then lets go. bot.emotion(null) clears it.

event

Events play once, then Nox goes back to what it was doing. bot.notify() plays notification and keeps the badge up until you call bot.seen().

setting a state

The state attribute and prop take any of the 29. In JS, state() does the same, or name the layer:

bot.state('thinking'); // any state, from any layer
bot.base('drowsy');
bot.activity('listening');
bot.emotion('curious');
bot.play('idea');
