The General Mediation Engine
Justus Robertson, Robert Young · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment · 2014
The General Mediation Engine is an architecture for producing game experiences with world mechanics drawn from a planning domain and problem. The system models possible player actions, state updates, and system responses in a graph representation derived from planner input. Paired with an interface that displays state and action information to the player, GME structures gameplay as an on-line expansion of its graph representation.
