As some of you may have noticed, we have released the beta version of our Locomotor Natural Language Processing (NLP) Game in our Telegram chat.

This game exercises some of our core iOlite technology components, such as allowing our Fast Adaptation Engine (FAE) to demonstrate its language learning capabilities when working together with a community.

Our game allows users to participate and be rewarded with iOlite testnet tokens (XiLT), supplied to them by the execution of a Smart Contract.

It is originally based on a challenge game inspired by Voxelurn, a Stanford University natural language processing (NLP) platform.

There are users and contributors, with the users being paid when succeeding in a challenge, such as assembling cube-based structures according to a predefined formation.

Contributors (users that reach a certain level) can make use of the NLP to define their own structures, and no longer follow the rigid commands set. This enables them to create much more complex structures and share their definitions to be used by others in the community. This shows us how language can evolve and can become more complex in time when supported by a knowledgeable community of smart contract experts.

Principles and components in this game are the base for the commercial iOlite solution, which extends blockchain deeper into the world of decentralized applications, focusing on human-machine interfacing.

You can find the game and its guide here. It explains you how to setup your Metamask account to accept our testnet tokens (XiLT).

In-game images showing language evolution

This image shows a contributor creating a 5-tall column definition, which is a new structure definition.

Next, some other member is able to use this structure definition to build a 3-tall column. The Fast Adaptation Engine is able to understand this and change the 5-tall column to a 3-tall one.

More complex example using a large triangle.

The previous triangle is now used to build a roof which is again a new structure definition.

This is a clear example of how when language gets more complex, the FAE become smarter. Some clever user has used the roof definition to create a house, and added it as a structure definition. As you can see in the below image, everyone is able to easily build a house structure now.

The game is open for everyone to try it out. We hope you now understand the concepts we are implementing in this game and how these translate to our commercial iOlite product. Enjoy the game! We recommend to read the help section as it can make playing the game much easier! If you get stuck, or want to share your awesome work, feel free to post on our Reddit or Telegram with questions!
