Many of us may have played this game as kids. The rules are very simple:
- You say the word:
do while(true) {
- I say the first association to your word that came to my mind
- You give an association to my association:
}
For example, Dog → Cat → Pet → Toy → Baby → Girl → Wedding → Funeral. In the game, people reveal their life experience and way of thinking to each other; maybe that's why we could play it for hours as kids. Different people have different associations with the same word, and associations often head towards a completely unexpected direction. Psychologists have been studying associative series for more than a century, hoping to find in them the key to the mysteries of consciousness and the subconscious. Can you code a game AI to play like that...
