This paper describes Script Cards, a visual programming language which enables young people to script story events in a 3D role-playing game (Neverwinter Nights). Script Cards is designed to eliminate the need to learn a complex scripting language when creating interactive stories. An initial evaluation of Script Cards suggests that young people found it easy to use.
