"Like with the teapot", Val said as he walked towards the stoves, "they are enchanted with a logic system, a type of vision, speech capabilities, and the ability to learn and retain information. They should learn from about anything you tell them, which over time improves their ability to understand and perform tasks. The added challenge in this case was to give them a wide range of motions and the ability to measure their strength. There is still some work to be done in that direction... Right now, they tend to move more than I'd intended", he chuckled.

"You're making it sound like it's no big deal", Adrien chuckled. "This is so amazing".

"Thank you", Val smiled. He turned to the stove, furrowing his brow. "Anyway, as you can see, one of the things that I need to work on is the system's ability to maintain itself. The pots and the plates are all cleaned after cooking, and that part works well... the rest of the cleaning enchantment, not so much. It would be easier if the counters and the other surfaces were simply enchanted to be dirt-proof. So, today we'll tidy around and clean the kitchen to the best of our abilities, and afterwards, if I am not too tired, I'll see if I can dirt-proof it".

"Alright", Adrien said, tying his hair up. "Where should I start from?".

The Gifts of Darkness - Chapter 8 - Page 20

Is it evident that this comic is written by someone who does code?

And with this we are at the end of a scene, so it's a good place to leave the comic on pause for the summer. I'll be on vacation for July and August - going to visit family and friends all over the world, finally returning to Italy, and having a five-year-delayed honeymoon - so there won't be any new pages until September. If you need me, I'll still be around to reply to comments, email, and whatnot, ...but be aware that I might take some time to answer. Maybe I'll show you some photos at my Twitter. One of the places I'm planning to (re)visit is Castel del Monte, which is one of the major inspirations for the design of Val's tower!

Have a good summer!
