GratedTopping Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) A simplified version of the artificial intelligence program "Shrdlu". The TI manipulates a series of colored blocks (shown as letters) following your instructions and telling you - from time to time - how the blocks are arranged in relation to each other. There are four blocks that you are looking at from the front. The world is essentially two-dimensional. You can move blocks around and put them on top of each other, but cannot put them in front or behind others. There are four commands you can give: WHERE IS THE <color> BLOCK (or ONE or CUBE)? TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE (or CAN SEE) SHUFFLE THE BLOCKS PUT THE <color> BLOCK ON THE <color> ONE The original program was from the 1984 book "Exploring Artificial Intelligence On Your Commodore 64" by Tim Hartnell and adapted for the TI-99 by me, Brian H ['GratedTopping'], in March 2009.

matthew180 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sounds like a HARD game! I'll have to check it out. What is the AI doing in this game (assuming the programs were designed to demonstrate particular principles)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute, although the AI part of it is a little stretch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it AI, but a lot of "AI" books of the time would have identified it as such. Still, it was cool to check out and thought I'd share it with folks. It's too bad I can't find a real version of "Shrdlu" (for the TI or elsewhere). I read up on that and I'd like to try it somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
