The Restaurant Game


Recommended Posts

An interesting link I found. It's a mini-projoect by some MIT folks who are trying to model AI in the restaurant world. In order to do this they're having people play out the roles of server and diner. It's kind of fun, definitely a waste of time. Check it out, for both Macs and PCs.

Very strange game. Almost no one wants to play in the traditional roles, though.

I had a customer steal my check so he could make the money off the table, and then he waited on me. . . And most of the customers want to sit on me and bite me.

If they're gathering psychological data in this game, it's sure to be skewed toward the bizarre.

I tried it.

The interface was so jerky on my connection (satellite) that I got fed up and x'd out.
