From Mechanics to Meaning and Back Again: Exploring Techniques for the Contextualisation of Code
Michael Lee Cook, Simon Colton · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment · 2013
Code generation is a promising new area for the automatic production of mechanics and systems in games. Generated code alone is not sufficient for inclusion in a rich, fully-designed game, however - it lacks context to bind the functionality of code to the metaphorical setting of the game. In this paper we explore potential solutions to this problem, both in terms of creative systems which co-operate with human content, and the possibility for contextual meaning in autonomous, human-free creative systems as well.
