Let's call LCP the character living in the house.

LCP reacts to 4 kinds of stimulus (given from high to low priority order):

• House events
• Primary personnal desires
• Player queries
• Secondary personnal desires

As soon as LCP is idle (and in some cases, when interrupted), he chooses an action by checking each kind of stimulus (in the order given above).
When an action meets the criteria, he performs it immediately (skipping all the remaining choices).

The number in brackets is the index of the action (for easy reference).

Check the Actions section for a list of all the game actions.

Check the Main LCP stats and HYBER file format sections for more detail on some LCP stats.

1. House events

   House events are top priority for LCP. They are triggered by the player or the time:

   Action	Trigger
   Deliver Record [#1C]	Control-R
   Deliver Human Food [#1D]	Control-F
   Ring Phone [#1E]	Control-C
   Deliver Dog Food [#1F]	Control-D
   Deliver Book [#20]	Control-B
   Ring Phone [#1E]	Checked each minute between 08:00 and 20:00 2% probability

   Up to 10 events can be queued.

   If at least 1 event is in queue, the first event is removed from the queue and the corresponding action is executed by LCP.

2. Primary personnal desires

   Those actions are essential for LCP (2nd priority).

   • If the alarm clock is ringing, LCP turns off the alarm clock [#29].
   
   
   • If LCP needs to pee, he goes to the WC [#15].
   
   
   • If LCP is thirsty (>0):
     • If LCP is not ill and 33% probability, he tries to drink a glass of water [#D] (moves to the water tank even if empty).
     • If LCP is ill and the water tank is not empty, he drinks a glass of water [#D].
   • If LCP is hungry (>0):
     • If LCP is not ill and 33% probability, he tries to eat a can of food [#12] (moves to the kitchen even if no can of food remains).
     • If LCP is ill and it remains some can of food, he eats a can of food [#12].
   • If LCP has not lunched and it's lunch time (LCP_lunchHour stat):
     LCP cooks and eats a can of food [#19].
   
   
   • If LCP has not dined and it's dinner time (LCP_dinnerHour stat):
     LCP cooks and eats a can of food [#19].
   
   
   • If LCP has not woken up and it's wake up time (LCP_wakeUpHour stat):
     LCP turns off the alarm clock, gets up, takes a shower, brushes his teeth, puts clothes, cooks and eats a can of food [#2B].
   
   
   • If LCP has not gone to bed and it's sleep time (LCP_sleepHour stat):
     LCP takes a shower, puts on pyjamas, eats a can of food, brushes his teeth and goes to bed [#2C].

3. Player queries

   Those actions are third priority for LCP.

   See the Player queries main section for details on posting a query.

   • If at least 1 sentence is in queue, according to the priority of the first sentence in queue:
     • Priority between 0 and 3: sentence deleted
     • Priority between 4 and 7: sentence priority increased by 1
     • Priority greater than 7:
       • If the first sentence action is Play with the player [#10] or Play piano [#1A], LCP agrees [#23].
       • The first sentence is removed from the queue and the corresponding action is executed by LCP.

4. Secondary personnal desires

   Those actions are the last priority for LCP.

   LCP chooses an action according to its personality and the current time.

   • Let compute the number of hours LCP is awoken: current hour - wake up hour (LCP_wakeUpHour).
   • If this value is greater (or equal) than 18 hours or LCP is ill (>= 2):
     LCP goes to bed [#4].
   • Else
     • The time period is determined (begin, middle or end):

       Nb hours awoken	Day period	Time period	Example (wake up hour at 06:00)
       0 or 1	Morning	Begin	06:00 to 08:00
       2 or 3	Morning	Middle	08:00 to 10:00
       4 or 5	Morning	End	10:00 to 12:00
       6 or 7	Afternoon	Begin	12:00 to 14:00
       8 or 9	Afternoon	Middle	14:00 to 16:00
       10 or 11	Afternoon	End	16:00 to 18:00
       12 or 13	Evening	Begin	18:00 to 20:00
       14 or 15	Evening	Middle	20:00 to 22:00
       16 or 17	Evening	End	22:00 to 00:00

     • Then, an action list is selected according to the time period and the personality of LCP (LCP_personality):

       Personality	Begin	Middle	End
       0	A	C	B
       1	A	B	C
       2	C	A	B
       3	C	B	A
       4	B	C	A
       5	B	A	C
       6	A	C	B
       7	B	A	C

     • If the selected action list is A (activities for a working day):
       • If the current day is Saturday, the selected action list change to B.
       • If the current day is Sunday, the selected action list change to C.
     • Finally, an action is randomly chosen from the selected action list:

       Action list A	Action list B	Action list C
