A Card Game Description Language
We present initial research regarding a system capable of generating novel card games. We furthermore propose a method for computationally analysing existing games of the same genre. Ultimately, we present a formalisation of card game rules, and a context-free grammar Gcardgame capable of expressing the rules of a large variety of card games. Example derivations are given for the poker variant ...
متن کاملApplying General Induction Methods to the Card Game Eleusis
Research was undertaken with the goal of applying general universally-applicable induction methods to complex real-world problems. The goal was only partially met. The chosen domain-the card game Eleusis-was still somewhat artificial, and the universally-applicable induction methods were found to be lacking in important ways. However, the resulting Eleusis program does show that by using knowle...
متن کاملGeometric models of the card game SET
The card game SET can be modeled by four-dimensional vectors over Z3. These vectors correspond to points in the affine four-space of order three (AG(4, 3)), where lines correspond to SETs, and in the affine plane of order nine (AG(2, 9)). SETless collections and other aspects of the game of SET will be explored through caps in AG(4, 3) and conics in AG(2, 9).
متن کاملFruit flies are multistable geniuses
Our sensory systems have evolved to provide us with information about the external world. Such information is useful only insofar as it leads to actions that enhance fitness, and thus, the link between sensation and action has been thoroughly studied in many species. In insects, for example, specific visual stimuli lead to highly stereotyped responses. In contrast, humans can exhibit a wide ran...
متن کاملA Simple Card Guessing Game Revisited
A deck of cards consisting of m red and n black cards is given. A guess is made as to the colour of the top card, after which it is revealed and discarded. To maximise the number of correct guesses one chooses the colour corresponding to the majority of cards remaining in the deck. We determine the expected number of correct guesses with this strategy, as well as the probability of beating an o...
