Exploring a large space of small games
Gabriella A. B. Barros, Julian Togelius · 2014
We explore the soundness and playability of randomly generated games expressed in the Video Game Description Language (VGDL). A grammar is defined for VGDL, which is able to express a large variety of simple arcade-like games, and random expansions of this grammar are fed to a VGDL interpreter and played with off the shelf agents. We see this work as the first step towards generating complete, playable games.
