A responsiveness metric for controllable characters

Creator:

Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Srinivasan, Madhusudhanan, and Metoyer, Ronald A., 1971-

Abstract:

This paper presents an empirical approach for measuring and characterizing the responsiveness of a character to changes in goal. Our approach is based on keeping track of the character's progress towards a frequently changing goal. A "distance-to-goal" function is defined to measure the progress. We then calculate an asymptotic proportion...

Abstract:

One of the least studied areas of Information Foraging Theory is diet: the information foragers choose to seek. For example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate "what" and "how"...
