I do not think I still have it. Was modified from an older Apple IIe BASIC
program I had with a "bee" (a black dot and a yellow dot) being chases by a
"bird" (three dots in a "V" formation) with the "bee" trying to get to a
"flower" in the center of the screen (four red dots in a square). I ended up
using this in a Philosophy class to look at how people thought of free will
(techies described the action in "algorithms", non-techies described it as
"desires"). 

I *do* still have copies of an old AIM bot I made:
<http://prescottcomputerguy.com/turing/>

It was basically just a big look up table with some clever(ish) rating
systems and ways of parsing names... but would often be confused for a human
for hours (and then would crash because of memory overflows or whatever).

Full code is there and open source.
