I find AI very interesting in general. I don't know much about it. Are there any good websites about AI, explaining how it really works, maybe forums, sources, FAQ, ABC and 123, AI for stupid people, glossary, massive links section??

Ok, games are allowed, but they must have something really new, so little patches won't do. Sandmans ideas might qualify for the thread.
How do you figure this game would work? How do you play it?

Ted Striker, nice . However I fail to see how this is about computers.. . But it's a nice vehicle.

true but the computer on it is supposed to do all the driving and also the stabilization of the engines

Oh.. well then I guess it qualifies too. Must check it out again.. I'd go with stabilization of the engines doesn't count, but if it drives for you, that would qualify .

You go into the Big Brother house, and you have to win.
You start by designing your character. My initial thought was to give the character a set of points which could be 'spent' on personality traits and your physical appearance, but I decided that would be too game-like. Better to let the player build whatever character they want, and simply get enjoyment out of winning with the annoying fat girl.
Once you enter the house, it's time to start making friends. You could try and make friends with everyone, but they might see you as shallow and a weak target for voting off. You could try building up a strong clique, but you'll have to stab them in the back, and other contestants may feel threatened by your naked alliance building.
Having a romantic fling may help you with the viewers, but can you keep your partner happy, or will they turn on you? Will you use up all your jokes in the first week (with characters with a good sense of humour being able to make more during the game) or will you save them in order to build up your relationship with a select few? Your intellectual posturing may help boost your self esteem, but will it get you voted off?

Yeah I've used one of those machines, my Uni had one which made a little dot appear on the screen wherever you looked. They were using it to track eye movements when reading even though there are so many more uses. I was going to ask if I could borrow it to play Quake or CS with
They're huge and very expensive but most things are at first.
Sandman, well.. I think it is potential and very interesting but not yet... We'd need one impressive AI to handle the other players (hey that would be fun multiplayer game) and their reactions and everything. They should be able to learn you, and you should be able to do and say what you want. So there's realistic interaction, and not too limited choices what you can do. But if it can be made so, that the AI is very good on the players, it would be interesting. Of course by then the game would take 100 cd's .

But then comes the problem of creating realistic and 'logic' personality, and how that reflects to other people and to the whole game.

I thought I just saw an article about it.. let's say less than 6 months ago? In some computer mag. I can't remember if it was only at it early stages, but I kind of recall it already being ready, or at least very close to being ready.

And it was definitely cool! I'd also like to have one of those projected monitors as well. Would be nice to take your computer with you, lap top size with the 'puter in, and then projectors that gives you keyboard and monitor of your choosing
