A logic-based tool for interactive generation and dramatization of stories

Draw your own story: Paper and pencil interactive storytelling

“…Interactive storytelling systems can follow three basic approaches: plot-based [27], character-based [30], or hybrid approach [26]. In this paper, we add a layer on top of a nondeterministic hybrid approach to interactive storytelling found in some of our previous works [27][28] [29].…”

“…In this paper, we add a layer on top of a nondeterministic hybrid approach to interactive storytelling found in some of our previous works [27][28] [29]. In this approach, a nondeterministic planning algorithm generates a plan in which events allow characters to try achieving goals without necessarily succeeding [29].…”

“…Our previous works [27][28] [29] use Constraint Logic Programming to specify rules used in plot generation and dramatization control at a higher level. In this work, however, actions occur at a lower level and we decided to use a C++ forward chaining procedure here, due to performance reasons.…”

Social Interaction for Interactive Storytelling

“…They cover the subject from traditional GUI interfaces [6][7] to more complex interaction mechanisms, such as speech recognition [8][9] [10], body gestures combined with speech [11][12] [13], hand-drawn sketches [14][15] and physiological inputs [16]. However, few of these works consider multiuser interactions.…”

Storytelling Variants: The Case of Little Red Riding Hood

“…In previous work, as part of our Logtell project [13,14], we developed prototypes to compose narrative plots interactively, employing a plan-generation algorithm based on Propp's functions. Starting from different initial states, and giving to users the power to intervene in the generation process, within the limits of the conventions of the genre on hand, we were able to obtain in most cases a fair number of different plots, thereby achieving an encouraging level of variety in plot composition.…”
