ABSTRACT

This chapter is designed to introduce a number of recent algorithms, developed academically for game AI, primarily in board and card games. However, these algorithms also have significant potential in other video game genres, which we also explore here. This chapter is an expansion of a talk from the GDC 2014 AI Summit. We will introduce four different, but related, algorithms that can be used to create more dynamic and adaptable AI for games. With the description of each algorithm, we will provide examples of contexts where it would be most useful.
