Check out the Studio Ghibli film, βPom Pokoβ for ideas. Though it is centered around Japanese Tanuki βraccoon dogs,β they make some authentic noises in the film when they are in animal form.

But every incremental piece you get working is an inspiration to keep plodding forward.
I already love this game! Donβt forget that raccoons have a wide vocabulary of amazing vocalizations. Adding sound effects to your little crime bandit will give it a whole new range of expression and personality. The hard part is tempering how much and how often so the sounds donβt become annoying.

Typing on the chicklet keyboard wasnβt easy. But we programmed games on it in our high school computer lab. The PET design was so modern for the time. You can still see them today used as movie set decorations. #nostalgia #computerhistory #retrocomputing

It was funny that the bot had "a mother in France" who supposedly made her own plum wine. But the bot couldn't understand or react to a simple bit of French language. It just kept drilling for more information.
