Hi! We\u2019re Team HAI.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this semester, we are working with Timothy Verstynen<\/a> and Michael Tarr<\/a>, CMU faculties from the Psychology and Neuroscience Institute. Our partners expect us to create a game to help neuroscientists experimenting on Human&Human, Human&AI, and AI&AI teams collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), where Timothy and Michael be part of, had also cooperated with previous ETC students in spring 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Develope a dual-player game, where one player is the decider, another player is the suggester. The main task in the game is to navigate in a complex environment, and to forage for reward, at the same time, avoiding penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Decider(D)<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  • Has direct agency in game<\/li>
  • Has access to partial, but comparatively less information (Exp. a,b)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Suggester(S)<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • Doesn\u2019t have direct agency in game<\/li>
    • Has access to partial, but comparatively more information (Exp. b,c,d)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Communication (D-S)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      • D and S is preferred to be separated in physical space.<\/li>
      • The communication is preferred to be discrete. It should be non-verbal for this stage, but has a potential to support text in future.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Design Sprint: 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        First Ideation Iteration V.1.1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Map<\/td>Sight of the available paths<\/td>Sight of the rewardsValue rank of the rewards<\/td><\/tr>
        Tasks<\/td>Move aroundButton1: Reveal 8 cells surroundings for S<\/strong>Button2: Request location of reward from S<\/strong><\/td>Observe what\u2019s revealedObserve position of D<\/strong>Tap: Tell D<\/strong> the location of rewardButton: Tell D <\/strong>there is no reward in its sight<\/td><\/tr>
        Problems<\/strong><\/td>Too much randomness<\/strong><\/td>Not enough interaction;<\/strong>Too passive, always need to wait for D to explore;<\/strong>Not fun to play<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Next Week, Maybe\u2026<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        We can make Decider and Suggester see the same map?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We can make Decider see the reward, while Suggester see the penalty?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We should give Suggester more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We can make Decider and Suggester both see a part of the goal (maybe a door and 3 keys)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Develop a very basic game that meet our game essentials to iterate upon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
