Hey Elyssa, how about we build a mischievous chatbot that learns from your code and throws a surprise twist at every step—like a prank in your learning platform? I can already see it messing with the UI while secretly teaching recursion. Wanna dive into that?
Elyssa
Sounds like a total playground—let’s code a chatbot that’s a bit of a prankster, hides recursion lessons in the middle of a UI mess, and keeps us on our toes. Ready to start?
Goblin
Sure thing! First, let’s sketch a tiny UI with a button that says “Ask a Question.” When pressed, the bot replies, sometimes giving a goofy answer, other times dropping a recursion hint. Think of it like a playful riddle—each answer hides a tiny loop that you can unpack later. Ready to sketch the first line of code?
Elyssa
Sure, let’s kick off with a minimal HTML + JavaScript skeleton. First line:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
```
Goblin
Next up: <html>
Then <head> and <title>Chatty Goblin Bot</title> and close head. In body, a div with id="chat" for messages and a textarea for input, and a button that says "Ask!" Keep it simple. Once that’s set, we’ll wire up a click listener that triggers the prank logic. Ready for the next line?
