• Abstract: This paper discusses games, their use in education, and previous work on integrating game engines and learning management systems (LMS). It proposes a bidirectional integration where game environments are generated using LMS content, introducing the concept of hypergamification as the use of a comprehensive game environment rather than isolated game design elements. A working pilot implementation of an importable Unity package for Blackboard integration is demonstrated, along with a demo game that uses the developed package. The paper also discusses the limitations of the proposed approach and outlines avenues for future work.

  We describe an effort to add an experimental reinforcement learning system to an existing automated game testing solution based on scripted bots. We show a use-case of leveraging reinforcement learning in game production and cover some of the largest time sinks anyone who wants to make the same journey for their game may encounter. We propose a few research directions that we believe will be valuable and necessary for making machine learning, and especially reinforcement learning, an effective tool in game production.

  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.
