The best way to get this info is to email me, not to post on the blog (I would have emailed you back and deleted this comment, but there's no contact info for you). Wendell, check out Georgia Tech’s undergrad program in computational media and masters program in Information Design and Technology.

I interested in being a game desinger. Can you send me more info' on you college. Hi. my name is wendell brown. I interested in being a game desinger. Can you send me more info’ on you college.

Nathan talked about what we are doing at the IGDA (to define Game AI standards) and Borut Pfeifer and Jeff Orkin are also part of that effort. This years report is here if you would like to see where we are: http://www.igda.org/ai/report-2004/report-2004.html Also with the idea of hardware AI, I feel this is the way Games will go for at least a certain sub set of AI tools often used in games such as path planning, line of sight etc. Especially as the latest "GPUs" are now open to general purpose "parallel" processing in addition to the graphics processing for which they were designed. A great site dedicated to coopting graphics GPUs is here: http://www.gpgpu.org/ Robin Hunickes research ties in closely with what I am doing with defining optimal reward. The key point here is that the optimal reward zone for any individual is unique. It depends on personality, age, gender as well as current mood and skill level. It is a moving target that defines your optimal current balance of arousal, stress, anxiety, motivation and reward. The "negative" aspects of course being necessary in order for the "positive" to be, well, positive in relation. Anyway, again, thanks for the time and effort with the write up. Ian Michael,
