Description
Summary:When virtual environments reach the level of complexity required to accomplish significant tasks, such as educating students or playing games, they are based on well-written scripts. Scripts, even for continuous, real-time environments, can be written as a sequence of turns between the environment and the user. An interactive script is structured as a main plot line and alternative branches with cross references, terminations, and loops. Efficient script design requires empirical testing during development. As environments reach a sufficient level of complexity, they may be controlled by a variety of relatively independent scripts.
