Temporal Action Logic for Question Answering in an Adventure Game Martin MAGNUSSON and Patrick DOHERTY Department of Computer and Information Science Linköping University, 581 83 Linköping, Sweden E-mail: {marma,patdo}@ida.liu.se Abstract. Inhabiting the complex and dynamic environments of modern computer games with autonomous agents capable of intelligent timely behaviour is a sig- nificant research challenge. We illustrate this using our own attempts to build a practical agent architecture on a logicist foundation. In the ANDI-Land adventure game concept players solve puzzles by eliciting information from computer char- acters through natural language question answering. While numerous challenges immediately presented themselves, they took on a form of concrete and accessible problems to solve, and we present some of our initial solutions. We conclude that games, due to their demand for human-like computer characters with robust and independent operation in large simulated worlds, might serve as excellent test beds for research towards artificial general intelligence.

Introduction Two topics that have seen a recent boost of interest are research on artificial general in- telligence (AGI) and the use of modern computer games as AI research test beds. There is much to say in favour of combining these trends, though we confine ourselves to two important observations. First, games are readily accessible both for the scientist who can use existing games with exposed
