Later this year, Will Wright, the creator of “The Sims,” will release Spore, a new game unlike any other. The game utilizes artificial intelligence allowing players to construct a universe one decision at a time. The games life forms, structures and atmosphere are designed by the player, and mathematical algorithms create the game actions based on the player’s designs. This system of game design is called procedural generation. In Spring of 2005, Mr. Wright presented a video of his game to the 2005 Game Developer’s Conference.
