Assignment: Fairy Tales in MOOville

For this creative attempt, you and a partner (or two) will create a fairy tale-esque scene in MOOville. Please note, that this is not simply a reproduction of a fairy tale. We have read several versions or the same tale type, so your scene should not be a direct lift from a story or film.

In your creation, you will utilize the archetypes that are necessary to recognize a story as "Snow White" or as "Little Red Riding Hood." For example, if you decide to recreate the scene in which Little Red first meets the wolf, you might set the scene in a club or on University Avenue in order to revision the scenario of seduction.

For more information about digging in a MOO, click here.

Must Include:

  • at least Two (ro)bots that interact with each other or the person entering the room
    • Remember that once you have created a bot, it will not "talk" until you teach it new words.
  • Six objects (minimum)
  • descriptions on all objects and room(s)
  • a short explanation of the importance of your scene
  • a writable whiteboard for peer review day

MOOville can be accessed from home through Remote Access. Connect your MOO room to my fairy tale MOO room called "Once Upon" which can be accessed by traveling down the "intothewoods" path.
