The game of Amazons is a young board game with simple rules, nice mathematical properties yet a high complexity between chess and Go. The state of the art Amazons solver was presented by Martin Müller in 2001 with which he solved the Amazons 5 × 5 starting position as a first player win. This...

Many computer games use custom scripts to control the ambient behaviors of non-player characters (NPCs). Therefore, a story writer must write fragments of computer code for the hundreds or thousands of NPCs in the game world. The challenge is to create entertaining and non-repetitive behaviors...

The traditional approach to implementing interactions between a player character (PC) and objects in computer games is to write scripts in a procedural scripting language. These scripts are usually so complex that they must be written by a computer programmer rather than by the author of the game...
