• Title: Generating Game Levels of Diverse Behaviour Engagement
• Authors: Keyuan Zhang, Jiayu Bai, Jialin Liu
• Abstract summary: Experimental studies on emphSuper Mario Bros. indicate that using the same evaluation metrics but agents with different personas can generate levels for particular persona. It implies that, for simple games, using a game-playing agent of specific player archetype as a level tester is probably all we need to generate levels of diverse behaviour engagement.

• Abstract: Recent years, there has been growing interests in experience-driven procedural level generation. Various metrics have been formulated to model player experience and help generate personalised levels. In this work, we question whether experience metrics can adapt to agents with different personas. We start by reviewing existing metrics for evaluating game levels. Then, focusing on platformer games, we design a framework integrating various agents and evaluation metrics. Experimental studies on \emph{Super Mario Bros.} indicate that using the same evaluation metrics but agents with different personas can generate levels for particular persona. It implies that, for simple games, using a game-playing agent of specific player archetype as a level tester is probably all we need to generate levels of diverse behaviour engagement.

  Large language models (LLMs) are considered a promising foundation to build such agents. We take the first step towards building generally-capable LLM-based agents with self-evolution ability. We propose AgentGym, a new framework featuring a variety of environments and tasks for broad, real-time, uni-format, and concurrent agent exploration.

We show that GameEval can effectively differentiate the capabilities of various LLMs, providing a comprehensive assessment of their integrated abilities to solve complex problems.

• Estimating player completion rate in mobile puzzle games using reinforcement learning [0.0]
  We train an RL agent and measure the number of moves required to complete a level. This is then compared to the level completion rate of a large sample of real players. We find that the strongest predictor of player completion rate for a level is the number of moves taken to complete a level of the 5% best runs of the agent on a given level.

  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.

  We show that a single transformer-based model can play a suite of up to 46 Atari games simultaneously at close-to-human performance. We compare several approaches in this multi-game setting, such as online and offline RL methods and behavioral cloning. We find that our Multi-Game Decision Transformer models offer the best scalability and performance.

  We introduce two simulation-based evaluation metrics to measure the diversity and difficulty of generated levels. We demonstrate that our diversity metric is more robust to changes in level size and representation than current methods. The difficulty metric shows promise, as it correlates with existing estimates of difficulty in one of the tested domains, but it does face some challenges in the other domain.

We demonstrate the capability of this framework by training an agent and level generator for a 2D dungeon crawler game.
