Quick description about dgiovanni:

A multi-agent architecture for building interactive dramas. It uses the Jason's BDI engine, being the Jason's agent-oriented programming language utilized for performing the drama management and for authoring behaviors for the characters.

Features:

• Implementation of the infrastructure for communication and the control of the agents creation, running, and destruction.
• Customizable framework, compounded of classes and interfaces that have a terminology related to drama (i.e. including terms like "StoryCharacter","StorySetting", etc.).
• Support for the creation of different stories via the utilization of ontologies that are also used to feed the system with story-related information.
• A default interface focusing on the research of interactive dramas: visualization of beat markers (to delimit the beats), of the analysis of the player's input, and of the state of the agents and environment; a new tab for each restart of the story; support for showing text and emoticons; generation of HTML for the output.
• Facilities for playing mp3 sounds.
• Extensive documentation (including Javadoc).
• A story implementation called Mary and Bob, that uses some interactivity mechanisms such as a simple Natural Language Processing.
