Object Oriented Prompted Play (O2P2): A Pragmatic Approach to Interactive Narrative
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an interactive narrative system that embodies Object Oriented Prompted Play (O2P2). This means that behaviours, attributes, and crucially stories are attached to objects in the story world. The approach is inspired by children’s social play where narrative emerges from collaborative, improvised negotiation. The object oriented architecture is appropriate for improvisation, imposing little predefined structure. Our goal is not the modelling, understanding and generation of narrative but the computer aided support for the improvisation process from which narrative emerges. Although based on play and children’s material, we believe the system is applicable more widely. Ours is a pragmatic approach that strikes a balance between the culturally fundamental activities of ”play” and ”story telling”.

A pragmatic approach to the formal specification of interactive systems
In the thesis an approach to the formal specification of interactive systems which embodies a number of pragmatic criteria is presented. The criteria we use for pragmatism are that any proposed approach to specification should directly support usability reasoning, that the specifications should be expressive, and that they should be reusable. We examine the concept of usability reasoning, and u...

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملObjects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...
متن کاملThe Narrative Premise
We have designed a novel interface for interactive storytelling, where users manipulate physical objects to access various portions of a narrative. The story is designed so that the physical artefacts play meaningful parts in the narrative, thus blurring the line between story and interface. In informal tests and demonstrations users found the interaction easy to understand, thus indicating thi...
