HPULoad - What load is the human suffering at the computer?

HPULoad associates user interaction level per application and indicates when the user is being idle, very idle (with the screen saver running), or away from the machine (machine in sleep mode).

The Restaurant Game is a research project at the MIT Media Lab that will algorithmically combine the gameplay experiences of thousands of players to create a new game.

In a few months, we will apply machine learning algorithms to data collected through the multiplayer Restaurant Game, and produce a new single-player game that we will enter into the 2008 Independent Games Festival.

The Restaurant Game is a greta oportunity because every player will be credited as a Game Designer. Its never been easier to earn Game Designer credentials!

All contributions are not equal, however. Designers will be ranked based on how well they play their assigned roles, and accomplish their objectives. There will be only one Lead Designer.
Remaining credits will be divided into Game Designers and Assistant Game Designers, and within each category individuals will be ranked according to the quality of their performance(s).

Quality will be determined computationally, based on a number of factors.

The Restaurant Game takes about 10 minutes to play. It is a two-player game that will automatically find partners for players once you join a server. You are welcome encouraged to play multiple times.

In order for this project to be at all successful, we will need to collect a lot of data -- data from over 1,000 10,000 gameplay sessions. Play early, play often, and please spread the word!

This project attempts to address two frustrations I experienced as a professional game developer.
1) Convincing human social behavior is difficult to model with existing hand crafted AI systems.
2) Play testing by people outside of the development team typically comes too late to have a major impact on the final product.

This experiment aims to generate AI behaviors that conform to the way players actually choose to interact with other characters and the environment; behaviors that are convincingly human because they capture the nuances of real human behavior and language.

The Progressive Columns provides the latest headlines from The Progressive Magazine. Founded in 1909 by Wisconsin Senator Robert La Follette as La Follette’s Weekly to be "a magazine of progress, social, intellectual, institutional." The mission of The Progressive is to be a journalistic voice for peace and social justice at home and abroad.

The magazine, its affiliates, and its staff steadfastly oppose militarism, the concentration of power in corporate hands, the disenfranchisement of the citizenry, poverty, and prejudice in all its guises. We champion peace, social and economic justice, civil rights, civil liberties, human rights, a preserved environment, and a reinvigorated democracy.

The SMea Kit is an open-source, high-level 3D graphics library, written in Objective-C atop OpenGL and Mac OS Xs Cocoa framework.

It is designed to support virtual reality applications, in which multiple articulated human figures interact on an expansive landscape. However, many of the kits components are quite general, providing functionality needed in any 3D program.

You can mix and match classes as you like. You might also use the kit as a tutorial to help you get started with OpenGL.
