Phil Goetz (goetz@cs.buffalo.edu) has made available
two of his papers: his overview of computerized interactive fiction (in DVI,
LaTeX, or HTML) and his notes on using SNePS (Semantic Network
Processing System, a knowledge representation and reasoning system).
Both can be found on his web page <http://www.cs.buffalo.edu/~goetz/>.
Dancer's (root@brisnet.org.au) paper "'Smart' NPCs
in Interactive Fiction"
<http://www.brisnet.org.au/~dancer/smartnpc.html> gives
theoretical and practical advice on writing believable NPCs.
