GGE becomes Generative Game Engine

R: Rafael and Chad have co-authored a short piece for the International Digital Media and Art Asssociation (IDMAA) journal about the GENERATIVE Game Engine. It should be published March 15 of this year. The issue is being edited by Ken McAllister and Judd Ruggill of the Learning Games Initiative (LGI) at the University of Arizona. It's a great send-off for Chad as he heads to California for an interview with game developer (hey, he's got bills to pay too).

text=play implications

G:

This is a call for possible implications of the Generative Game Engine, a drag-n-drop program that allows you to play any text.

Examples:
+ "playing" your genetic structure: genome=play
+ dynamic play: RSS. XML feeds, constantly updaing play environments
+ playing the classics: AP Literature class=play

Please implicate away with comments!
