Scripts

From SimTeach

Overview

Scripts open a new avenue for asynchronous communication between learners in virtual environments. Scripts advance MUVE's beyond the realm of decorative chat rooms to scaffold more thoughful student interaction with the virtual environment. Scripts also make manipulable simulations possible.

• ScriptEase "AI scripting... model is pattern template based, allowing designers to quickly build complex behaviors without doing explicit programming." Developed at the University of Alberta for Bioware's Neverwinter Nights.

• Neverwinter Nights scripting tutorials.
