Game Master AI for Tabletop Games

人工智能是创造能够做出决策和理性思维以实现核心目标或方面的数字代理的领域。对于桌面和视频游戏，已实现的人工智能将试图通过找到最佳制胜策略来“解决”游戏。然而，桌面游戏(例如角色扮演游戏)的子集包括游戏大师角色，该角色与玩家协作和竞争地工作。他们的目标是为所有参与的玩家提供良好的游戏体验，例如，通过提供平衡的挑战水平，通过令人兴奋的活动，或推动故事。这个项目旨在研究和拼凑组成游戏大师AI的不同元素，建立在当前最先进的游戏玩AI的基础上，并研究这样的发展对玩家和游戏设计师的影响。

Artificial Intelligence is the field of creating digital agents capable of decision-making and rational thought to fulfil a core goal or aspect. For tabletop and video games, an implemented AI would attempt to 'solve' the game by finding optimal winning strategies.However, a subset of tabletop games (e.g. role-playing games) include a Game Master role, who works collaboratively as well as competitively with the players. Their aim is to provide a good playing experience to all participating players, for example, by providing a balanced challenge level, through exciting events, or driving the story.This project aims to study and piece together the different elements that would go into a Game Master AI, building on current state-of-the-art game-playing AI, and to study the implications of such a development for players and game designers alike.
