The Complexity of Multiplayer Colonel Blotto Games with Player-Specific Values

Martin Bichler, Abheek Ghosh

We study equilibrium computation in discrete multiplayer Colonel Blotto games with player-specific battlefield values. In the two-player model with common battlefield values, equilibria can be computed in polynomial time. We show that this tractabili...

Oops, Not Now: PEARL, a RAG-Based Support Agent for Gameplay and What Players Want from AI Help

Jiahong Li, Sai Siddartha Maram, Atieh Kashani, Ulia Zaman et al.

AI-powered gameplay support agents hold promise for game-based learning, yet grounding generative models in structured game data remains an open challenge. We present PEARL (Parallel Education Agent for Reflection and Learning), a dual-component Retr...

Neuromorphic Computing for Procedural Content Generation

Jincheng Zhang

Procedural content generation (PCG) has become a cornerstone of modern game development and creative design, offering automated methods for producing vast and diverse content. However, conventional PCG algorithms often rely on computationally intensi...

Self-Supervised Learning for Procedural Content Generation with Temporal Consistency

Jincheng Zhang

Procedural Content Generation (PCG) has long been a challenging area within computer graphics and game development, primarily due to the difficulty in achieving temporal consistency and coherence in generated content. This work introduces a novel app...

Elemental Strategy: Intelligent Board Game

Mayank Rajendra Bhagat, Sujal B. Kaithal, Tejas Y. Rakhade, Vaibhav S. Khapekar et al.

Video games have evolved from simple entertainment applications into interactive systems that can improve problem-solving, decision-making, and strategic thinking. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an important role in modern games through technique...

Cognitive Geometry for Procedural Content Generation

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the application of cognitive geometry to procedural content generation. We propose a system that learns and generates levels, landscapes, and other procedural elements by mapping visual representations to underlying cognitive proc...

Generative Adversarial Networks for Procedural Content Generation with Aesthetic Constraints

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the application of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to procedural content generation (PCG) with explicit aesthetic constraints. Traditional PCG methods often rely on predefined rules and algorithms, which can lead to repetit...

Procedural Level Generation For 2D Platformer Games Based On Graph And Chunk

Akmal Zidan Fahreza, Chrystia Aji Putra, Yisti Vita Via

Level design is one of the key components in determining the gameplay experience in 2D platformer games. However, manual level design is time-consuming and difficult to scale. Graph theory can be used to represent the abstract structure of a level, w...

Generative Models for Procedural Content Generation in Complex Games

Jincheng Zhang

Procedural content generation (PCG) has long been a crucial technique for creating vast and diverse game worlds, particularly in complex games where manual design would be infeasible. However, traditional PCG methods often struggle to produce content...
