Abstract

The paper presents a Tamagotchi-like mobile phone game that uses an artificial neural network driven character model and is designed to teach positive moral values to children. The behavioral model is explained and the approach is supported by a proof of concept implementation. Our results suggest the feasibility of the approach.
