Second Mind looks at two key research questions. How can personal creativity of novice user (without programming and design experience) supported in authoring of intelligent character behavior sets? and How can we support novice user in revising the authored behavior sets to changing circumstances, be it unexpected game scenarios or varied interests of the player population to improve player experience. The work addresses these research problems and the result is the first Web 2.0 application that supports personal creativity of novice user and allows them to create AI behaviors- without programming and is available here.
