| Where did the Summer go? The quarters seems
to be coming around faster and faster... This issue covers
one of the more unusual applications for our turn-based
game development testbed: an aquarium emulation. Although
improbable, the testbed proved an ideal and flexible tool
for doing this. Of course, we are getting better at exploiting
this off-the-shelf development technology and it is evolving
to provide more functionality and flexibility. It is the
core system for our Poker engine development. The second
article is the first of ours to talk about a game of imperfect
information. This is the modest game of Gin Rummy but
shows how simple heuristics can be used to create effective
and fast AI play. |
