Abstract

Abstract—It is easy to create new combinatorial games but more
difficult to predict those that will interest human players. We examine
the concept of game quality, its automated measurement
through self-play simulations, and its use in the evolutionary search
for new high-quality games. A general game system called Ludi is
described and experiments conducted to test its ability to synthesize
and evaluate new games. Results demonstrate the validity of
the approach through the automated creation of novel, interesting,
and publishable games.
Index Terms—Aesthetics, artificial intelligence (AI), combinatorial
game, evolutionary search, game design.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
