Plan 9: Make Him Wobbly¶

"OK," said Wobble, getting frustrated. "I'll make Boop SO wobbly that if anyone ever changes ONE piece of him, the whole thing falls over. Then nobody will ever update him. He'll be stuck forever."

Sam shook their head. "I'll build Boop in three rooms, connected by doorways."

Sam built three rooms:

• Front room: the client — what you see and click on (a chat window, a voice, a VR panel).
• Middle room: the brain — the thinking part.
• Back room: the engine — the part that does the actual brain work.

The rooms only talked to each other through the doorways. You could redo the back room without touching the front room. You could repaint the front room without bothering the brain.

It was like swapping the batteries in a flashlight without buying a new flashlight.

Wobble's ninth plan: foiled.
