Visual Agent Programming (VAP): An Interactive System to Program Animated Agents

An interactive system in which the user can program animated agents visually is introduced: the Visual Agent Programming (VAP) software provides a GUI to program life-like agents. VAP is superior to currently available systems to program such agents in that it has a richer set of features including automatic compilation, generation, commenting and formatting of code, amongst others. Moreover, a rich error feedback system not only helps the expert programmer, but makes the system particularly accessible to the novice user. The VAP software package is available freely online.
