Describing Games: An Interaction-Centric Structural Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a structural framework to describe games in terms of components. The components are divided into four major areas: meta-structure, bounding, narrative and objective. The framework is developed to be used in conjunction with game design patterns, descriptions of patterns of interaction relevant to game play. We describe the development of the framework and how it relates to patterns.

متن کاملMultiagent Reinforcement Learning in Stochastic Games
We adopt stochastic games as a general framework for dynamic noncooperative systems. This framework provides a way of describing the dynamic interactions of agents in terms of individuals' Markov decision processes. By studying this framework, we go beyond the common practice in the study of learning in games, which primarily focus on repeated games or extensive-form games. For stochastic games...
