Scientists at Purdue University taught pigs to play video games. In the game, the player scores points for maneuvering a cursor using a joystick so as to hit a colored target. The player is in the middle of what looks like an abstract representation of a room, surrounded by four blue walls. Each wall, running the length of the screen, is a potential target, and the player need to hit any wall to complete the stage. Almost all of the pigs got to the one-sided target, though some did get to the small one- sided one-box target. Purdue University’s online course on how to play games with pigs, with videos and tips on how-to videos can be taught with pigs. The online course is available online at: www.purdue.org/video-game-teaches. World of Boarcraft is a video game set up to mimic the behavior of a wild boar. The video game’s makers hope to attract more people to the animal kingdom.
