• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this paper 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, move visualisation, highlighting winning moves, strategy explanation, among others. These aspects are then combined to create a full manual for any given game. This manual is intended to provide a more intuitive explanation of a game's rules and mechanics, particularly for players who are less familiar with the Ludii game description language and grammar.

  The IDGE project aims to democratize game development by enabling a large language model to follow free-form game descriptions and generate game-play processes. We train the IDGE in a curriculum manner that progressively increases its exposure to complex scenarios. Our initial progress lies in developing an IDGE for Poker, which not only supports a wide range of poker variants but also allows for highly individualized new poker games through natural language inputs.

• "Hunt Takes Hare": Theming Games Through Game-Word Vector Translation [0.0]
  A game's theme is an important part of its design -- it conveys narrative information, rhetorical messages, helps the player intuit strategies, aids in tutorialisation and more. Thematic elements of games are notoriously difficult for AI systems to understand and manipulate, however, and often rely on large amounts of hand-written interpretations and knowledge. We present a technique which connects game embeddings, a recent method for modelling game dynamics from log data, and word embeddings, which models semantic information about language.

• 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.

  We study reinforcement learning for text-based games, which are interactive simulations in the context of natural language. We aim to conduct explicit reasoning with knowledge graphs for decision making, so that the actions of an agent are generated and supported by an interpretable inference procedure. We extensively evaluate our method on a number of man-made benchmark games, and the experimental results demonstrate that our method performs better than existing text-based agents.

  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.
