  1. Game Playing Human Game Playing • Intellectual Activity • Skill Comparison Computer Game Playing • Testbed for AI • Limitations

  2. General Game Playing General Game Players are systems able to play arbitrary games effectively based solely on formal descriptions supplied at “runtime”. Translation: They don’t know the rules until the game starts. Additional Complexities: uncertainty (moves of other players) resource bounds (game clock)

  3. Technology Unlike specialized game players (e.g. Deep Blue), they do not use algorithms designed in advance for specific games. Artificial Intelligence Technologies knowledge representation reasoning, reformulation, learning rational behavior w/ uncertainty, resource bounds

  15. Direct Description Since all of the games that we are considering are finite, it is possible in principle to communicate game information in the form of transition graphs. Problem:Size of description. Even though everything is finite, the graphs can be large. Ideas: 1. Different Conceptualization 2. Compact Encoding

  16. s1 Propositions Decompose states into “propositions”. Benefit - n propositions can represent 2n states. p q s r

  17. Propositional Net Components Propositions Connectives Transitions p q r

  20. Propositional GDL row1o :- row1x :- true(11o), true(11x), true(12o), true(12x), true(13o) true(13x) row2o :- row1x :- true(21o), true(21x), true(22o), true(22x), true(23o) true(23x) row3o :- row1x :- true(31o), true(31x), true(32o), true(32x), true(33o) true(33x)

  21. Relational GDL • row(M,P) :- • true(cell(M,1,P)) & • true(cell(M,2,P)) & • true(cell(M,3,P))

  22. Tic-Tac-Toe init(cell(1,1,b)) init(cell(1,2,b)) init(cell(1,3,b)) init(cell(2,1,b)) init(cell(2,2,b)) init(cell(2,3,b)) init(cell(3,1,b)) init(cell(3,2,b)) init(cell(3,3,b)) init(control(x)) legal(P,mark(X,Y)) :- true(cell(X,Y,b)) & true(control(P)) legal(x,noop) :- true(control(o)) legal(o,noop) :- true(control(x)) next(cell(M,N,P)) :- does(P,mark(M,N)) next(cell(M,N,Z)) :- does(P,mark(M,N)) & true(cell(M,N,Z)) & Z#b next(cell(M,N,b)) :- does(P,mark(J,K)) & true(cell(M,N,b)) & (M#J | N#K) next(control(x)) :- true(control(o)) next(control(o)) :- true(control(x)) terminal:- line(P) terminal:- ~open goal(x,100) :- line(x) goal(x,50) :- draw goal(x,0) :- line(o) goal(o,100) :- line(o) goal(o,50) :- draw goal(o,0) :- line(x) row(M,P) :- true(cell(M,1,P)) & true(cell(M,2,P)) & true(cell(M,3,P)) column(N,P) :- true(cell(1,N,P)) & true(cell(2,N,P)) & true(cell(3,N,P)) diagonal(P) :- true(cell(1,1,P)) & true(cell(2,2,P)) & true(cell(3,3,P)) diagonal(P) :- true(cell(1,3,P)) & true(cell(2,2,P)) & true(cell(3,1,P)) line(P) :- row(M,P) line(P) :- column(N,P) line(P) :- diagonal(P) open :-true(cell(M,N,b)) draw :- ~line(x) & ~line(o)

  23. No Built-in Assumptions • What we see: • next(cell(M,N,x)) :- • does(white,mark(M,N)) & • true(cell(M,N,b)) • What the player sees: • next(welcoul(M,N,himenoing)) :- • does(himenoing,dukepse(M,N)) & • true(welcoul(M,N,lorenchise))

  24. General Game Playing

  25. Logic Possible to use logical reasoning for everything Computing legality of moves Computing consequences of actions Computing goal achievement Computing termination Easy to convert from logic to other representations Simplicity of logical formulation Simple, widely published algorithms 3-4 orders or magnitude speedup no asymptotic change

  27. Legality Computation legal(W,mark(X,Y)) :- cell(1,1,x) true(cell(X,Y,b))  cell(1,2,b) true(control(W)) cell(1,3,b) cell(2,1,b) legal(white,noop) :- cell(2,2,o) true(cell(X,Y,b)) cell(2,3,b) true(control(black)) cell(3,1,b) cell(3,2,b) legal(black,noop) :- cell(3,3,x) true(cell(X,Y,b))  control(black) true(control(white)) Conclusions: legal(white,noop) legal(black,mark(1,2)) … legal(black,mark(3,2))

  31. Resource Limitations Large state spaces ~5000 states in Tic-Tac-Toe ~1044 states in Chess Limited Resources Memory Time (start clock, move clock)

  32. Incremental Search Incremental Search Expand Game Graph incrementally As much as time allows Minimax/etc. evaluation on non-terminal states using an evaluation function of some sort But how do we evaluate non-terminal states? In traditional game playing, the rules are known in advance, and the programmer can invent an evaluation function. Not possible with GGP.

  33. Non-Guaranteed Evaluation Functions Ideas Goal proximity (everyone) Maximize mobility (Barney Pell) Minimize opponent’s mobility (Jim Clune) Depth Charge (random probe) <insert your good idea here>

  34. AAAI-06 Final - Cylinder Checkers

  35. Monte Carlo Method / Depth Charge Basic Idea (1) Explore game graph to some level storing generated states (2) Beyond this, explore to end of game making random choices for moves of all players not storing states (to limit space growth) (3) Assign expected utilities to states by summing utilities and dividing by number of trials Features Fast because no search Small space because nothing stored

  39. Metagaming

  40. Definition Metagaming is the process of analyzing and/or modifying a game offline (e.g. during the startclock or between moves or in a separate thread) so as to improve performance online (once the game begins, recommences, etc.). Examples of Metagaming Techniques: Headstart End Game Book Factoring Dead State Removal And so forth

  41. Hodgepodge Hodgepodge = Chess + Othello Branching factor: a Branching factor: b Analysis of joint game: Branching factor as given to players: a*b Fringe of tree at depth n as given: (a*b)n Fringe of tree at depth n factored: an+bn

  42. Game Reformulation Examples Symmetry, e.g. Tic-Tac-Toe Independence, e.g Hodgepodge Bottlenecks, e.g. Triathalon Techniques: Graph Analysis (factoring, branching factor, …) Proofs (esp those using mathematical induction) Trade-off - cost of finding structure vs savings Sometimes cost varies with size of description rather than size of expanded game graph Use of startclock versus playclock

  44. Game Factoring Method: Compute factors Use factors to generate “subplans” Reassemble overall plan from subplans Patterns: Disjunctive Factors * Conjunctive Factors * Interleaved Factors Sequential Factors Overall factors versus conditional factors

  45. Conjunctive Factoring Conjunctive Goals Delete conjunctive goal Make conjuncts goals for each factor Conjunctive Legality Delete legality conjunction Make conjuncts goals for each factor Solve problem, conjoin solutions. Can delete disjunctions too, but treating disjunctions as conjunctions might destroy completeness.
