Case Study: Playing Strategic Games
Case Study: Playing Strategic Games
This chapter focuses on the playing of games with the following characteristics: discrete-move and turn-taking, deterministic, two-person, perfect-information, and zero sum. The first section explores how game problems of this sort are similar to, and different from, the planning problems of Chapter 9, and how the rules of a game can be encoded in Prolog. The second section develops a general game player in Prolog, analogous to the general planning program of Chapter 9. The third section considers how the thinking has to adapt for more complex games like chess.
