• Abstract: This technical report outlines the fundamental workings of the game logic behind Ludii, a general game system, that can be used to play a wide variety of games. Ludii is a program developed for the ERC-funded Digital Ludeme Project, in which mathematical and computational approaches are used to study how games were played, and spread, throughout history. This report explains how general game states and equipment are represented in Ludii, and how the rule ludemes dictating play are implemented behind the scenes, giving some insight into the core game logic behind the Ludii general game player. This guide is intended to help game designers using the Ludii game description language to understand it more completely and make fuller use of its features when describing their games.

  We propose a novel approach, SPRING, to read the game's original academic paper and use the knowledge learned to reason and play the game through a large language model (LLM) In experiments, we study the quality of in-context "reasoning" induced by different forms of prompts under the setting of the Crafter open-world environment. Our experiments suggest that LLMs, when prompted with consistent chain-of-thought, have great potential in completing sophisticated high-level trajectories.

• The Ludii Game Description Language is Universal [2.643652100761611]
  We show that the language used by the Ludii general game system is capable of representing equivalent games for any arbitrary, finite, deterministic, fully observable extensive-form game. In this paper, we prove its universality by extending this to include finite non-deterministic and imperfect-information games.

• Optimised Playout Implementations for the Ludii General Game System [8.344476599818828]
  The Ludii general game system can automatically infer, based on a game's description in its general game description language, whether any optimised implementations are applicable. An empirical evaluation demonstrates major speedups over a standard implementation, with a median result of running playouts 5.08 times as fast, over 145 different games in Ludii.

• Automatic Generation of Board Game Manuals [8.344476599818828]
  We present a process for automatically generating manuals for board games within the Ludii general game system. This process requires many different sub-tasks to be addressed, such as English translation of Ludii game descriptions. This manual is intended to provide a more intuitive explanation of a game's rules and mechanics.

  Combinations of Monte-Carlo tree search and Deep Neural Networks, trained through self-play, have produced state-of-the-art results for automated game-playing in many board games. This paper describes the implementation of a bridge between Ludii and Polygames, which enables Polygames to train and evaluate models for games that are implemented and run through Ludii.

  This work presents an exploration and imitation-learning-based agent capable of state-of-the-art performance in playing text-based computer games. Text-based computer games describe their world to the player through natural language and expect the player to interact with the game using text. These games are of interest as they can be seen as a testbed for language understanding, problem-solving, and language generation by artificial agents.
