ANDI-Land
ANDI-Land is a computer adventure game where the player solves simple
puzzles through conversation with artificially intelligent characters.
Players use the arrow keys to guide an avatar through a forest landscape. The
forest is inhabited by ANDIs, which are virtual people with artificial
intelligence that equips them with a basic understanding of their environment.
The game play is based around natural language dialog. An interactive parser
guides players while they type sentences on the keyboard. The ANDIs interpret
English sentences and translate them into logic. Using automated theorem
proving technology they are able to find answers to questions and reason about
commands. This makes it possible to use dialog to elicit information to solve
puzzles and carry out actions such as buying and selling objects.
ANDI-Land ‘s artificial intelligence replaces pre-scripted dialogs with
(limited) conversation that is generated on the fly. Rather than selecting
between canned sentences, players have to figure out for themselves what to
say to whom.
