I had the opportunity to play this game while working at CS: http://www.wubble-world.com/?page_id=2 – “wubble-world” – IANAL (I am not a linguist) but I thought it was an interesting concept. You train a “softbot” to do tasks in a simulated 3-d world. Your training teaches it to learn concepts. The thing that impressed me with the game was how natural and effortless the human/computer interaction was compared to most interfaces. The learning “what to do” in wubble world mimics the way children learn language. An angle on the intersection of linquistics and code.
